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 the Alexander Technique 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.
