Learning it gives you a totally new experience of yourself, difficult to describe. Having a lesson, you are guided by gentle, understanding hands, perhaps just standing or sitting in a chair. The teacher explains how to cooperate, and you start to find opportunities to stop and be self-aware and ever more at ease within your body and your mind as well. Learning the Technique is often described as re-education and self-development, with therapeutic effects.

Recent research

Results of a sizeable study on low back pain and the Alexander Technique was reported in the British Medical Journal of August 2008. The study showed that taking Alexander Technique lessons from a qualified teacher has long term benefits for people suffering low back pain. Relief from pain was felt after only 6 lessons, when daily walking exercise was practised. More lasting benefits were experienced in the group receiving 24 lessons.
