A New Life (full video)

Case studies of four of my Alexander Technique pupils. A lady with a hip replacement who kept falling over now goes on walking holidays. A yoga teacher who came to me for lessons finds it "a development of what I understood yoga to be". A retired farmer's wife with severe osteoporosis needed family to look after her. She now looks after herself and her husband. An opera singer found her lessons helped her singing as well as her back. (She is still taking lessons from me to help her her sing better five years later). Plus a description of the Alexander Technique by Malcolm Williamson, head of the training school in Manchester.

Yes, this video was made in 2005, so it pre-dates the findings of the medical trial published in the British Medical Journal last year.

Nicely done endorsements. The UK BMJ magazine findings about A.T. helping lower back pain in a scientific trial weren't even mentioned.

I was attracted to Alexander Technique because I was fascinated by the awareness, insight and perception of it. At the time, I didn't know A.T. would also help me to stop doing a mystery limp from learning to walk oddly as a toddler. This was a long-standing problem from babyhood when I was trained to tense a part of my neck by a thoughtless medical procedure.
