I bought this for my grandma who's interested in the technique, she said the book was not geared towards doing exercises on your own to learn more. Disappointing...

Missy Vineyard's books is a very welcome and much needed addition to the Alexander Technique literature. It is accessible, easy to read, insightful, and presents the Alexander Technique in an accurate manner.

I particularly enjoy the case studies and how the are threaded throughout the book. I am also a teacher of the Alexander Technique (in NYC) and very much enjoyed Missy's discussion and reporting on the process her students have had during their AT study.

A keen and thoughtful reader will learn a great deal about how the Technique is taught and what their own process might be like during a course of lessons. The many benefits that will come their way through their study are clearly stated in this book.

This is a wonderful book for everyone at level of the Alexander Technique study.

Very dry read by R. Ciranna

I thought I would be able to learn the Alexander Technique from this book - given the title, or that it would at least give me a good overview of the Alexander technique, but it is sooo dry and boring. It does not have much in the way of good examples or practice techniques and I didn't feel I got a good understanding of the technique either. I know the Alexander technique is suppose to be done with a teacher - but not everyone lives near an Alexander teacher. I would not recommend this book. I did find the book "Guided Lessons for Students of the Alexander Technique" has the "practice" - but you would still have to find a good book on the theory of the Alexander Technique.

Best book on Alexander that I've read by T. Bushell

This book clarified key concepts like Inhibition and Direction in a way that no other book (and to some degree, my Alexander teacher) ever could.

In addition, there's a lot of practical advice on applying AT to sports, music and other performing arts, and daily life. It's already helped my guitar playing.

Buy it - you won't be sorry.
