'LIke other brilliant tehniques, Alexander is tremendously simple but difficult to practice well. With John Gay one can enrich one's experience enormously. HIs teaching has been of great help to me.'-Kenneth Branagh, star and director of film Henry V.

The Alexander Technique is a proven process of mind and body reeducation that reduces struess and muscle tension, and revitalizes those who practice it. Used by many actors, athletes, and dancers, the techniques can help anyone increase his or her energy and achieve a more dynamic presence.

Written by a veteran instructor of the Alexander Technique, this authentic and easy-to-follow guide allows everyone to learn the increasingly popular program, with clear instructions for each exercise, and dozens of helpful photographs that show correct and incorrect postions to use for the exercises and througout the day.

John Gray has taught the Alexander Techniques for more that twenty years. He lives in England.

Sounds like a throwaway subject, but without the proper posture the stage can be a grueling nights work. ( )
