- An Alexander lesson involves the use of the teacher's hands guiding you in simple movements, such
as getting in and out of a chair. As the mental approach is changed, movement becomes lighter and easier; and all skills and activities benefit.
The lesson lasts about 40-minutes and involves F.M Alexander's procedures of "chair work" and "table work". Brian also adds the distinctive Dart Procedures (i.e., human evolutionary patterns of action), and "application work" whereby
an Alexander student can apply Alexander principles to activities ranging from the everyday/mundane to the professional to the avocational. A student's "homework" is to apply the Alexander Technique to all activities of life. Jointly with the Alexander teacher, you decide how many weekly lessons to undertake. - Free Advice
