Ebook: The Alexander Principle: How to Use Your Body Without Stress

THE "Alexander Principle" is an exploration into the Alexander Technique (AT) by its foremost teacher, Wilfred Barlow, who studied with F.M. Alexander, the technique's originator. AT is the study and practical application of biomechanics in order to decrease stress, eliminate strain, and increase the body's natural flexibility. In this, his second book on AT, Barlow delves further into the philosophy behind Alexander's ideas and explains their connections to the application of the technique. AT does not easily reduce to simply a series of movements or postures, according to Barlow; the true benefits of AT are derived only from understanding the human body itself, as well as Alexander's unique observations and conclusions.
