How does Alexanders work differ from other mind-body disciplines?
Many somatic practices are adept at showing clients what is wrong with their use, but provide only temporary relief, or short-term “fixes.” It is much easier to show someone what they are doing wrong than to teach them how to do it right. Alexander’s work gives students a practical method of consciously inhibiting patterns of poor “use,” allowing the student to continually improve their posture and coordination on their own.
