The Alexander Technique is a simple and practical way for improving ease and freedom of movement and for releasing harmful tension in your body. It teaches the use of the appropriate amount of effort for a particular activity. It can be applied to all your daily activities; standing, sitting, walking, driving and playing a musical instrument are among the many things you can learn to do more easily.
"Robert Rickover has deftly combined the popular and the serious. Popular in this case means easily accessible information written in an easy-to-read style, and serious means that the information is solid and well-researched. "The book is a guide - a guided tour if you like - from the beginning years of the Technique to its present, with a look into its possible future, a guide through the workings of a lesson, and a resource book for those who want to find an Alexander Teacher. "As the world of the Alexander Technique continues its rapid expansion, the need for a book of this kind has become evident. Fortunately for all of us, Robert Rickover has taken the time to write it." - Frank Ottiwell, Director of the Alexander Training Institute of San Francisco
