Overview

The Alexander Technique is a tension-reducing, pain-relieving, posture-improving, awareness-raising, consciousness-expanding modality, but you can use it when you're bowling. You can use it while you're walking, or cooking, or washing your face. You can even use the Alexander Technique when you're strolling down the beach, shaving, and eating a banana. (Page 61).

I used the Alexander Technique to rid myself of neck pain, and “Lighten UP” shows how.




Description

You can judge this book by its cover. "Lighten UP" is a collection of 29 stories, jokes, and Alexander Technique lessons. It was written for people who are new to the Alexander Technique as well as those more practiced.

Lighten Up Reading Mark's book made me smile. I love the personal and humerous style in which he sets out the principles of the Alexander Technique. He has creatively layered them through each story and lesson. Like a spiral (or a musical composition) each idea is presented and revisited again with a little development. Anyone interested in a lighthearted, yet substantial look at the Alexander Technique will find this little book helpful. Barbara Kent, Alexander Teacher Read more
