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. (19951012)

Only Michael Gelb's "Body Learning" comes close as a basic introductory text on the Technique. Clear, straightforward, and not twisted into pop-psych, pop-health or pop-fitness cliches to satisfy the publisher. If you are having lessons, or considering studying the Technique, you should buy this book.

One of the best introductory books on the Technique!

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.

Chris Stevens might know a lot about the Alexander technique, but you'll have a hard time gleaning anything from this book!
