Alexander Technique in Everyday Activity: Improve How You Sit, Stand, Walk, Work and Run
Description:
Product Description
Your long-term health and well-being are profoundly affected by how you use your body in everyday activities such as walking, sitting (at work or at leisure), bending, using and moving objects. This groundbreaking book analyses a sequence of basic human movements that all able-bodied people in any society perform. You will learn both how to better perform everyday activities including standing, walking, sitting, running, bending, breathing and lying down - and the reasons why most of us do these 'badly'.
This book will be just as invaluable to those that are quite new to the technique as to experienced Alexander teachers.
Review
Alexander Technique in Everyday Activity is an excellent book. It's always difficult to write engagingly about something that has to be felt and lived for true understanding, but Séan Carey has managed it. I find myself regularly dipping into it for a refresher of everything I learned from him many years ago

The well-organized index and...images throughout the book make it easy for teachers to use the book as a resource for themselves and their students. Whether you are a teacher or student, taking the time to understand and explore...this book will prove to be time well spent.
