Engel is a writer, artist and reviewer. A handbook is available for her students & she has written many introductory A.T. articles, see her work at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Technique
Starting study in 1977, Franis Engel then trained at the San Francisco ACT certified teacher training course of Frank Ottiwell & Giora Pinkas for half of the required 1600 hours; she then continued study with Marj Barstow in trade for writing about Marj's approach. Engel has been teaching since 1985, specializing in simplification of A.T. for conceptual learners using the "activity" model teaching approach pioneered by Marj Barstow.
