Contemporary Alexander SCHOOL & Alexander Alliance International

CAS is the only American branch of the Alexander Alliance International, which has been offering immersion-based teacher training through a contemporary pedagogy, in the lineage of Marjorie Barstow, since 1982. AAI currently offers trainings and workshops at all levels throughout the US, Europe and Asia, emphasizing the ability to teach the fundamental principles of Alexander’s Work to individuals and groups within the activities and situations of their real lives, which we call LIFEWORK.

All CAS Trainees can study at all AAI sister schools, worldwide.

Alexander Alliance International is an international alliance of sister schools, founded in 1982, with training programs in Zurich, Bournemouth, Einbeck, Buchholz, Portland(OR), Santa Fe, New York City, Dallas/Ft Worth, Kyoto, Osaka, Okayama.

We run independent* contemporary, non-residential training programs. We welcome all races, religions, sexes, gender identities, sexual orientations, body types, abilities, and ages.

*AAI has always been and continues to be independent of all political societies, as did F.M. Alexander and Marjorie L. Barstow. We carry, with goodwill and humility, their tradition of independence forward into the future.

A Holistic Perspective

At CAS, we offer opportunities for studying the quality of our being, through all of our ways of being - physical, emotional, mental, and energetic - because everyone has a unique way to access their wholeness.

In keeping with our holistic perspective, CAS offers a range of studies, categorized as Ways of Being, Knowing, and Teaching.
