Page "Alexander technique" Paragraph 6

Because of a change in balance, actions such as sitting, squatting, lunging or walking are often selected by the teacher.

Other actions may be selected by the student, tailored to their interests or work activities such as hobbies, computer use, lifting, driving or performance in acting, sports, speech or music.

Alexander teachers often use themselves as examples.

They demonstrate, explain, and analyze a student's moment to moment responses as well as using mirrors, video feedback or classmate observations.

Guided modeling with light hand contact is the primary tool for detecting and guiding the way past unnecessary effort.

Suggestions for improvements are often student-specific.
