For AT teachers and trainees

The Alexander Technique: bodywork or 'consciousness work'?

The Alexander Technique is a powerful method for bringing about profound physical and psychological change. By teaching how to be more conscious, and how to pause and reconsider before acting, it empowers us to take charge of our lives; to drop mental and physical habits and become our authentic selves.

Why does the world think it's about posture, movement and body mechanics?

What was FM teaching?

There is a missmatch between what FM Alexander wrote about and therefore, presumably, what he was teaching, and what the current Alexander world is writing about and teaching. Would we all have busy practices if we approached the work differently?

'Globally Organised'. Freeing his neck didn't solve FM's voice problem.

In my opinion, as a profession we have become too focussed on freeing necks, and not enough on the thing that did solve FM's problem.
