Product Description

Review

"Fantastic, great pictures, a very informative practical book. This goes on our reading list for BA and MA students."Chris Palmer, Head of Voice and Speech at GSA School of Acting and Musical Theatre"I have had Alexander lessons throughout my career, found them invaluable and recommended them to countless other singers. Congratulations to Carolyn Nicholls, who has distilled her many years of teaching into this lucid, down to earth and entertaining book; it will work well for newcomers and devotees alike (singers and normal folk!), whether as introduction to or reminder of this marvellous technique."Dame Emma Kirkby, Soprano"The author has managed successfully to distil many yearsA ' experience teaching and practising the Alexander Technique into this highly readable and well illustrated book. I warmly recommend this accessible volume."Professor Basant K. Puri


Product Description

Developed over a period of 100 years the Alexander Technique has helped people to successfully manage a wide variety of conditions, including back pain, stress, anxiety, ME, and asthma. The Alexander Technique is not a therapy or an exercise program. It is an in-depth study of how human reaction, co-ordination and movement play a part in everything we do. It has enhanced the performance of athletes, actors, singers and musicians. "Body, Breath and Being" explores the Alexander Technique through the experiences of those who have studied it and benefited from it. These include: A keen amateur sportsman who was 'reborn' after being resigned to a lifetime of pain; a photographer who overcame a debilitating back problem that was interfering with his professional work; a pregnant woman who used the technique to relieve indigestion and handle her changing posture; and, a musician who managed an asthmatic problem that was affecting her playing."Body, Breath and Being": Is ideal for both beginner and expert; includes over 100 full colour photographs and diagrams; provides practical experiments in every chapter; and, includes a CD of detailed instructions and advice. This book offers a new view of the way we use our bodies and the consequences not only on our health, but also our approach to life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally readable, extremely enlightening, 23 Sep 2008
By Paul T "PT" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I am new to Alexander Technique but have been interested in it for some time now. This book is written so conversantly and is appealing at so many levels. I am now convinced to take up AT especially with the current buzz arising from the researches and articles published by the British Medical Journal about the benefits of learning AT. The cover of the book looks great!! Who is she?

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to try the AT for themselves at home, the instructions are clear and interesting, it has the added benefit of an audio CD included.
