learning from a book?...mm... probably pretty impossible really unfortunately what did you do to hurt yourself? to answer your question 'no' it should never be painful. unlike alot of 'no pain, no gain' activities/exercies, AT is more 'pain? no gai…

Yes, he'd been meditating for 20 years+ but had no idea how to combat back pain. I've seen videos on youtube of buddhists with truly dreadful posture which did make me wonder the effects of it on the body.

which interview was that? "moving meditation" is bareable, the "westerners" bit sounds like bit of dig! i did joke with a buddhist friend once that meditation is a 'poor man's alexander' which made him laugh. actually i did reco…

Looking back this thread, im pleased to say these problems are behind me. Ive read some other mind-body techniques see the energy the same as sexual energy. Does Alexander Technique teachers ever consider the energy they are working with is actually…

yeah, I do think the idea of a weekend course is a good one though. It would make it possible for alot people to keep their day jobs/original careers whilst doing the course. There is a PAAT one in Birmingham which is 4 years - every Thursday & …

I found Pilates really painful but AT brilliant so I stopped Pilates a long time ago- no intention ever to do again!

One more thing related to machines: What do AT teachers make of 'Electro Muscle Stimulators'- you know those pads that tone your body? they look very tempting but Ive never brought any!

There are devices/software called Biofeedback out there that do tell when things are going wrong. They measure EMG muscle tension, muscle release, blood pressure etc - kind of like lie detector test technology. I know a little about biofeedback bec…

Thanks for both of those very useful comments. Initally, when Nicholas said he had not come across this problem before I was abit surprised and disappointed. I had always assumed most men would noticed this feeling whilst learning the technique. Of…

Yes, sorry, just checked the dictionary and 'sagging' was not the right word. I was trying the tightness effects my muscles in general and lasts for awhile.
