I know about Alexander technique - I took lessons for about 9 months. It is brilliant - A+ is an understatement.
I had always had a bad back! As long as I could remember I'd get headaches etc. I'd been going to a chiropractor from ages 19-41. That's when i started alexander technique. The reason I started was cos I figured I must be doing something wrong to still need to go to the chiro after all these years. I must be doing something wrong between adjustments. So I looked up on the net and found a teacher in my local area. Saw him twice weekly for the first 2 weeks then weekly for the next 8 months.
I reckon you need to actually have one-on-one instruction. It was an hour each time of him sitting me down, then standing me up, then sitting me down again, then a bit of me lying on a table and him moving my limbs around.
I never "learnt" anything I could tell you, but over the time my body learnt how to do this properly on its own.
I went to the chiro once about 3 months in, just cos I hadn't been for ages. They checked me and said I was better than I'd ever been. I haven't been to the chiro since. My back has been great. Wish i'd done it years ago. I'd recommend it at whatever price - the results are permanent from what I can tell 3 years later. I've already saved the money I'd have spent on chiro's in the 3 years. Oh - and there was no religion involved.
Go for it!
joy to you
Hazel
