A prospective student recently asked me an important question.  I'm adding it and my answer to this blog.

Q: Do the lessons involve any "homework" or practice at home between sessions? If so, how much time would be involved beyond the actual lessons?

A: The idea of lessons is that we explore how your thinking can positively affect the way you use your body in your daily activities.  It is then up to you to actually use your new thinking in your daily activities.

The more you practice this, the faster you'll change.  For beginning students, I typically recommend making one activity per day your "Alexander laboratory."  For instance, you may decide to practice your Alexander thinking while brushing your teeth....or picking up your coffee cup....or when walking to work. 

Gradually, you will begin to apply the thinking to more and more activities, until it becomes a part of how you do things.

A famous Alexander teacher (Walter Carrington) once said about Alexander students that "the active participation that is required is not muscular activity, but is the active participation of thought and awareness." 

This is what I will want you to practice between lessons.
