Book Description

February 13, 1996
What is the Alexander Technique? Could it help me? How does it work? Is it expensive? Where do I find a teacher? The Alexander Technique is a natural postural and breathing technique devised by an Australian actor called FM Alexander in the 1800s. It can be used in an effective way to ease stress-related disorders and in rehabilitation after illness. This guide to the Alexander Technique concentrates on the method itself, seen from the student's viewpoint. In a straightforward way, it answers all your questions about the Technique and provides background information on its development.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best introductory books on the Technique!, August 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Alexander Technique (Paperback)
Chris Stevens has put together a clear, straightforward, non-'New Agey' introduction to the Alexander Technique. The ONLY introductory book of comparable value is Michael Gelb's 'Body Learning.'

Some readers may be frustrated that the book does not follow the usual self-help, do-it-yourself formulas. This is inevitable, as the Alexander Technique has no place in those categories.

This review is from: Alexander Technique (Paperback)
Chris Stevens might know a lot about the Alexander technique, but you'll have a hard time gleaning anything from this book!
