Edinburgh Alexander Training School (EATS)

Lydia Cresswell, MSTAT

I graduated from EATS in 2024 and am now setting up my Alexander teaching practice in Sheffield. I originally came from a background of bodywork and education separately. Through the Technique’s ability to bring a learning approach to ourselves as a thinking and feeling body, I can see the fullness it has brought my life. I am excited to share this enriching and positive skill with others!

Eleni Konstantinidou BMus, MSTAT

I graduated from EATS in 2023 and am now teaching individuals and groups in Edinburgh. I am a pianist and music teacher, and I first came across the Alexander Technique in Greece. I was convinced it was the best way to achieve my musical and teaching goals, and I moved to Edinburgh in 2020 to train at EATS. I am particularly excited about how learning the Technique can help overcome expressive limitations, leading to a freer, easier way of performing, being, and connecting with others. 

Cath Roberts, BA, MSTAT

I graduated from EATS in 2022 and am teaching in Aberdeenshire. I first stumbled across the Alexander Technique in 1989 at Art School (GSA) when a fellow student felt compelled to tell me about it (I had my ‘STOP’ word painting on show). She put me in Alexander’s ‘position of mechanical advantage’. I found it intriguing…important and seemed to instantly show up the unnecessary holding I was doing. I was hooked. She also added…’ye know you could teach this’. I never forgot those words but didn’t have the boldness to enrol until many years later. I now realise that, like every other teacher and student of this intelligent, practical, and preventative technique, I am on an Alexander ‘journey’.
