Embodying Practice

'There is a simplicity in Michael's teaching. His work is clear, precise and consistent, the hallmark of a master-teacher. Merran Poplar, Alexander Teacher and Teacher Trainer 'This is the book we need to have! I recommend this book for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding and practice of the Alexander Technique. This valuable resource for Alexander teachers arises from Michael Stenning's extensive experience as a teacher trainer and skilled teacher practitioner of the Technique. Michael's thoughtful presentation of the Alexander Technique's principles, advantages, challenges and procedures offers a detailed guide to refine your personal practice and your teaching.' Dr Ann Shoebridge Alexander Technique Teacher, DPT Musicians' health and performance specialist The University of Melbourne 'Michael has distilled with great clarity what is required, not just to teach with more confidence, but to continue to improve as we expand our awareness with practiced discipline. This volume supports the transition from trainee to teacher, and the building of greater confidence than many have when they first qualify. It is also a reminder to all of us to stay alive to the endless growth inherent in an ongoing exploration of Alexander's legacy.' Dr. Michael Gleeson. Alexander Technique Teacher and Public Health researcher 'Michael Stenning invites the reader, whether pupil, trainee, teacher - and especially new teacher - to continue to work, to develop a lifelong practice of attending to the use of the self. You will receive reminders to inhibit and direct, page after page, and learn to trust that deepening your Alexander skills is the key to improving your use and effectiveness as a teacher.'Ruth Rootberg, Alexander Technique Teacher, Trainer, and author.
