Thanks for very useful and helpful postings.

Peg is right that it is almost impossible to learn properly from books alone but I do have one book which I can recommend strongly as an introduction to what it is all about.

It is called "The Complete Illustrated Guide To Alexander Technique"
by Glynn Macdonald - ISBN 1-86204-225-X. Published by Element Books Ltd in UK and USA in 1998.

A glossy book easily digested with masses of information. The case histories are particularly informative.

Happy reading.
