Alexander Technique Books

The best source of information about the Alexander Technique is a good book, of which there is a wide choice.

We have selected a range of books  that we believe are accurate and informative, and have arranged them into suitable categories.

We hope in the future to have a separate section of Alexander Technique information in the form of articles and leaflets.

1. Introductory books
   For people who want to know more and who may be considering having lessons.

2. Further Study
   For committed pupils who want to develop their understanding of the Technique

3. Illustrated Books
   Books that use illustrations to give an impression of what the Technique is about. - Ideal gifts for people who wonder what you are up to. Some of these may look like DIY books, but sadly it is something that you just can't learn without an Alexander teacher

4. Specialist Applications
   For people who have had lessons and want to apply the Alexander Technique to their specialist field such as horse riding or music

5. Miscellaneous
   Books about Alexander, and the History and Origins of the  Technique

6. Related Topics
   Other books on relevant subjects

We only offer books that in our view are accurate and make a positive contribution to the Technique. We don't recommend teach yourself style books, as, despite what the authors of such books may claim, you cannot learn it from a book. Reading is seen as supplementary to lessons from a properly qualified teacher who has trained on an approved teacher training course requiring daily attendance over three years.
