"Sensory appreciation conditions conception – you can't know a thing by an instrument that is wrong."
F. M. Alexander

These teaching aphorisms from Alexander's lessons provide succinct insights into the working of the Alexander Technique. These concise and sharp observations capture the spirit of the Alexander Technique: the appeal to awareness and reason as a way of life. Readers familiar with the Technique will discover much of interest – especially concerning the influence which habit and feeling have on human behaviour.              

The beautiful, meditative illustrations were created by the artist Birgit Meyer-Woycke, who has studied the Alexander Technique for many years.
