About this title

Synopsis

Between lessons many students ask their teachers, "How can I practice?" The purpose of Guided Lessons is to assist your exploration of the Alexander Technique both with and without a teacher present. It provides simple activities for you to practice pausing, noticing, inhibiting, directing, and allowing. The guiding words in each lesson will help you avoid falling back into your habitual ways.
