How-to Sessions

How-to

How-to sessions run parallel to the CL. These are daily sessions with teachers who have deep knowledge on specific topics.

How-to is a new event type at the Congress.

In these two-hour sessions you will be able to explore
a wide range of areas where the Alexander Technique can be applied and learn how-to talk to specific audiences.

Think eyesight, marketing, working with companies, working online and many more.

This is the list of all How-to sessions that have been confirmed so far.
