Here Marjorie talks about a fundamental aspect of the Alexander Technique - conscious control - and how to use it. She was in her 90s and suffering from osteoporosis. Workshop participants came from all over the world to study with her.

I love the wisdom of older folks. It sure is time to stop being a "dummy". Retrain the mind, retrain the body. Ease into it.

"You want complete ease before you get it." She is wonderful. She takes away the eagerness without telling you.

I like how she says "move your head away from your body in such a way that the rest of your body will follow" - I was expecting her to say "forward and up" - but she made it clearer to me with the other phrase.

Best explanation of conscious control, and its pitfalls, I've ever seen! This woman is amazing.
