Another look at inhibition
I wrote this in response to the question: “What is it about developing one's coordination that precludes every activity, save inhibition, to bring about a change in one's manner of use?” I don't know if I answered the question; but I was certainly clearer, afterwards, in my own mind, on the subject of inhibition.

What did Alexander discover - and why is it important?
This is an attempt to put into lay language what can sometimes seem overly complex.

Inhibition and the dangers of verbal ordering
If giving orders is linked to the good use experienced during lessons, in real life it is almost always linked to poor use. This is because we are seldom prompted to give orders in daily life other than during 'bad' moments. Is there a danger here?

My Dad's back
In later life, my father suffered badly from asthma. I went with him to what we both assumed was a competent osteopath. What ensued surprised us both.

An unusual lesson
I once visited Noam Renen, a 'renegade' Alexander Teacher. This is an account of my experiences.

Alexander men and women
I wrote this in 2001. I still feel much the same.

Releasing
People often decry 'releasing' as not being a proper part of Alexander work. This attempts to explain why I disagree.

Working with difficulty.
I gave lessons over a period of several months to someone who was seriously disabled. This is an account of our progress.
