Read all about it
The nature of the Alexander Technique is very practical and hands on, but many people find it helpful to read about it as well as having lessons. Apparently, Alexander insisted pupils read his books! A lot has been written about the Technique since Alexander’s death. Below is a list of books written by the man himself and a few from the extensive number written by others. Most can be ordered from good bookshops or are available from Amazon on the net.
