F.M. Alexander		What happens in an Alexander lesson? The principles of F.M. Alexander are taught by means of everyday movements, for example standing up and sitting down, with careful muscle relaxation in between. You will learn to improve your co-ordination and to get rid of harmful habits.
			Famous students and supporters John Dewey (1859-1952), American philospher: "Many persons have pointed out the strain which has come upon human nature in the change from a stage of animal savagery to present civilisation. No one, it seems to me, has grasped the meaning, dangers, and possibilities of this change more lucidly and completely than Mr Alexander." (Preface to Man's Supreme Inheritance, Mouritz, London 1996, XXV) Frank Pierce Jones (1905 - 1975), American philologist: "The Alexander Technique opens a window onto the little-known area between stimulus and response and gives you the self-knowleedge you need in order to change the pattern of your response - or, if you choose, not to make it at all." (Freedom to Change, Mouritz, London 1997) Nicolaas Tinbergen (1907-1988), Dutch ethologist, Nobel Price for medicine 1973: "...we already notice, with growing amazement, very striking improvements in such diverse things as high blood pressure, breathing, depth of sleep, overall cheerfulness and mental alertness, resilience against outside pressures, and also in such a refined skill as playing a stringed instrument." (Ethology and Stress Diseases. Nobel Oration. Science, 185, pp 20-27)
