2026 Summer Workshop

Summer Workshop at Sinclair Studio & Cottage Retreat in Muskoka

The Sinclair Studio Summer Workshop is a 7-day Alexander Technique intensive designed for new and experienced students, as well as those considering teacher training. The workshop combines 3.5 days at Sinclair Studio with 3.5 days in Muskoka (final day of both have morning class only), exploring core principles of the Technique and their application to daily activities, work, movement, music, sport, voice, and dance; restoring ease, flexibility, and expressiveness while reducing tension and effort.

Led by Susan Sinclair and Sakiko Ishitsubo, the intensive emphasizes hands-on skill development and teaching in activity. The Muskoka portion includes outdoor experiences such as paddleboarding, swimming, and kayaking, providing an immersive retreat that deepens the integration of the Alexander Technique into real-world movement.

Participants may attend the full 7-day workshop or choose split options for the Studio portion or the Muskoka portion with lodging.
