Excellent introduction to Alexander's Technique!,
By Taiji 218 (The Frozen North) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Illustrated Elements of Alexander Technique (The Illustrated Elements Of!) (Paperback)
This is the best overall introduction to the Alexander Technique that I've come across--and I've read my fair share of AT books. While it's a bit wordy, in part that can be explained by the fact that it was originally written in England. I personally find most books written in England are much wordier than books written in the United States, and they tend to have a peculiarly bland quality about them that sometimes can make them difficult to read. This book has some of those features, but if I were you and wanting to learn about the Alexander Technique, I wouldn't let the writing get in the way of my education. And there is enough informational meat in this book that it is worth overlooking the occasionally bland writing style.There are numerous everyday applications of the Technique illustrated throughout the book, and much of the underlying physiology is also addressed. A beginner can take up this book, use it and go a long way towards using the Technique in everyday life. Pretty good for an instructional book!
