Book Reviews of How to Learn the Alexander Technique: A Manual for Students/G6517
Book Review: An Excellent Student Resource
Summary: 4 Stars
To learn the Alexander technique, you need a teacher. You CANNOT learn it from a book. The technique involves communication of a kinesthetic sense from the teacher to the student through hands-on learning. With that said, this book is a valuable resource to a serious student who already has, or would like to find a teacher. The sections on body-mapping are particularly useful, and can be applied even if one is not studying the Alexander technique.
Body mapping is a practice predicated on the concept that we have concepts of our bodies, body maps, that do not accurately reflect our anatomy. Consequently, when we try to move, we often try to move in ways that we are not constructed to move. By changing our maps of our bodies to accurately reflect our anatomy, we can move and exist in the world with much greater efficiency and ease.
