Intensive Training in Alexander Technique
The intensive training is aimed at people who would like to integrate the principles of the Alexander Technique into their professional activity and who want an intensive learning and change process in a continuous group.
The weekends and intensive weeks each have a thematic focus, with a good mix of theoretical basics, practical exercises and methodological diversity.
In addition to group lessons, the participants also regularly receive individual work. There is room for personal questions and professional supervision. In addition to the classic setting, in which the principles of AT are first practiced in simple, everyday movements, we also integrate elements from hatha yoga and movement improvisation.
Error-friendly and playful-experimental learning is very important to us.

Testimonials
Alexander Technique - Continuing Education
"Since I first came into contact with the Alexander Technique at the ZAYT in Freiburg years ago, regular attendance at the seminars there have become an important part of my life. Olivia and Renate help run this oasis of competence, diverse knowledge and valuable life experiences a lot of commitment and perseverance. Such a wealth of synergies, respect, empathy and openness is extraordinary. I would like to thank both women for the many inputs on different levels, which have decisively shaped my life again and again. Merci beaucoup."Isa, CH , October 2019
"A year ago I decided to do personal training in the Alexander Technique with Renate and Olivia and have been fascinated by this method and the two wonderful teachers ever since. After a slipped disc that has been causing me problems for 4 years, I have now found a method , with which I manage to be and stay completely pain-free again. At first I was no longer able to work at my desk without headaches and back pain. In the meantime, I can not only work at my desk, but also in many areas of work and of everyday life with the support of the Alexander technique, change my physical and mental posture in such a way that I no longer have pain."

"The ZAYT is a place of possibilities. A space for inner growth, silence, laughter and movement. Olivia and Renate know how to accompany people in their independence, liveliness and beauty in a very special way. Every encounter was valuable for me. THANK YOU ."

"I've been taking AT lessons at ZAYT for a good month and I sometimes attend the open class on Friday mornings.
What does the Alexander Technique mean for me?
I feel a new quality of awareness within me as I learn new postures, new ways of walking, standing, sitting and lying down. The miracle of my body and its joints is revealed in me combined with a wonderful expansion and depth of perception inside and outside and a newly felt freedom and dignity in dealing with myself.
I love taking the time to pause and become aware of who I am. I enter into a mental communication with myself, my neck, spine, shoulders and hip joints, etc. In doing so, I observe myself and feel a subtle straightening within me, which I experience as part of the sincerity of life within me."
