The man whose name lives on in the Alexander Technique explains the method himself. Alexander describes how unconscious habits of posture and reaction shape daily life, and how conscious control can be patiently reestablished, with the case stories that made his work famous among actors, musicians, and thinkers. You will discover the original arguments behind a practice still taught worldwide, in the author's own exacting voice. Heritage from the source. Press play and notice how you are sitting.
