A brief outline.\nCreated by F.M. Alexander (1869-1953) a Tasmanian born Australian actor, who lost his voice. Alexander set out to discover how to regain a healthy functioning of his voice and in doing so found many patterns of “misuse” within himself, and many overall habits he had to prevent. The technique he created has been taught since the 1890s. It is now taught in most countries in the world either in one to one lessons, or in workshops.\nThe principles he came to use and teach were:\n \nUNITY: All human activity is part mental and part physical. Everything within the human being works together as a whole, mind, body, spirit.\nUSE AFFECTS FUNCTIONING: That the way we use ourselves affects the way we function.\nPREVENTION: Prevention in the sense of not doing or non doing is fundamental to the technique.Consciously waiting, thinking, avoiding previous habits, learning new ways by—-\nDIRECTION: A reasoned plan to gain an end, (e.g a yoga pose,) a step by step approach to gain a satisfactory result while attending to one’s action throughout.\nPeople come to Alexander Technique for many different reasons, e.g. singers, actors, sports people, yoga people, after injury, after operations, with postural problems.\nPupils are taught to become aware of personal habits in the way they use themselves in daily life especially when strain and tension are involved, the power of these habits, learning how to release these patterns and replace them by an easy “use”of appropriate muscles for whatever task is at hand.\nBy bringing to conscious level that which has been unconscious and habitual and learning to change faulty patterns, so that ease, balanced strength, co-ordination, and a dynamic poise in movement result.\nThe teacher uses skilled hands to release tension, to guide a pupil through movements in a new way leading to a CONSCIOUS CONSTRUCTIVE CONTROL of the total self, bringing to a conscious level that which has been unconscious and habitual.\n
