5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for anyone seeking self improvement, October 1, 2004
This review is from: The Alexander Technique Workbook: Your Personal System for Health, Poise and Fitness (Paperback)
A real eye opener. I read this book thinking it had something to do with posture as I suffer with backache from sitting in front of a computer all day. I was wrong. This is about a new way of living your life by releasing the tensions, both physical and mental that we have accumulated throughout our lives. The amazing thing is that you don't have to do anything, rather learn to undo. This book is also very easy to read, in a nice relaxed style, which makes it easy to understand and put into practice.
