Origin

This image is of F.M. Alexander (1869-1955), originator of what came to be known as Alexander Technique, working with one of his students.

I am always struck by how present this student is. She is upright yet not rigidly so. Calm, alert, curious, engaged, receptive.

She’s doing something apparently ‘normal’ - sitting, yet what’s actually happening is that she is not sitting in her ‘normal’ way.

Guided by the freeing principles of AT, with the encouragement of Alexander’s hands, she is exploring a new way of being, moment by moment. 

Just like this student, anyone engaging with AT can learn how to meet the stimuli of life in a non-habitual way, undoing years of unconscious patterning.

(Oh and check out the spats).
