Frequently Asked Questions October 20, 2008

Q: What is a definitive description of the Alexander Technique?
A: The Alexander Technique is:

• A lifelong exploration into the territory covering the description we have given ourselves as a species – that of human beings. Something, unfortunately that we rarely are.
• Learning to live quietly and without conflict inside the structure we inhabit. Interrupting stereotyped response patterns.
• Gaining clarity of the direction of our being.
• Acquiring the ability to learn from the inside.
• Awareness and presentness and realising our narrowing of both.
• Raising to consciousness that our intention will shape everything – and realising that clarity of intention is of paramount importance – not just its accuracy, but also its appropriateness.
• Named after Frederick Matthias Alexander – who often referred to the Technique
  as The Work.
• Whatever you understand it to be at this point in time!
