Body Learning has been a steady bestseller since it was first published in 1981. This edition confirms its status as the classic work on the Alexander Technique.

The Alexander Technique is now recognized the world over as the most revolutionary and far-reaching method ever developed for maintaining the coordination and efficiency of the human body. It is not only a means of putting us in touch with our bodies, but also a way of deepening our perceptions and general well-being. Its effects on all aspects of living and learning are profound.

Body Learning provides a simple, clear answer to the question: "What is The Alexander Technique and how can it help me?" Michael J. Gelb provides inspiration and guidance to newcomers to the technique and conveys a full understanding of the complex mental and physical dynamics involved.

“The approach to learning and the techniques outlined in Body Learning transformed my life. Read and practice, and Michael Gelb’s profound message will transform yours.” Tony Buzan, author of The Mind Map Book
