From scrutinizing what exactly the Alexander Technique is to offering guidance on more advanced elements, such as core postural support and psycho-physical unity, this book offers a holistic insight to the Alexander Technique for practitioners and artists.

It is difficult to explain the Alexander Technique without hands-on instruction by a qualified teacher. Written by expert Alexander Technique practitioner Peter Ribeaux, who has a wealth of pedagogical and practice experience spanning 45 years, this book steps into that space.

In doing so, it refuses to shy away from some of the most alienating elements of the practice (e.g. the arcane language often used), instead breaking them down to make them more easy to understand, while also setting out the most elementary aspects of Alexander Technique for someone who may not yet be familiar with its principles.

The author uses his own extensive experience of the Technique to offer tried-and-tested advice and posits that the Alexander Technique is not just about posture, but about choice and the control of reaction.

Overall, the book provides a wide scope of the field, from concepts to techniques, as well as an exploration of its application within many different domains.

Peter Ribeaux has been an Alexander Technique teacher for over 45 years. He has given workshops in Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Israel, Switzerland and the USA, and has taught the Alexander Technique in a number of different settings, ranging from the performance arts to the aerospace industry. Formerly a university lecturer in organisational psychology at Middlesex University, UK, he has also been a council member of STAT (the Society of Teacher of the Alexander Technique, UK) and is currently a member of the Moderators' Panel and the Training Course Committee at STAT.
