Customer Reviews

Not bad
Not bad, but it's not so clear in its communication, and the production values are not great (poor picture quality). I found that "Alexander Technique: First Lesson [1998]" (the one with William Hurt) was rather a lot better.

Very useful introduction
I found this DVD a very useful introduction to Alexander Technique. It has certainly encouraged me to learn more about the topic. It is definitely only an introduction but would be useful for anyone to at least try at the difference the method can make instantly. I have not had a headache since watching it which is pretty miraculous!

Not so good
Not such a good DVD - production very poor, sound and picture quality in places is really amateur like. The material itself is okay as a VERY basic introduction to the Alexander technique. If you are looking for anything more best look elsewhere or you will most likely be dissapointed with this title.
