For me, the Alexander Technique is a set of principles that can be used to change your thinking in any activity or task or situation. 

The Alexander Technique is traditionally known as 'body work'. It is usually taught in person using touch to realign and adjust the client's body and give them an experience of lightness and effortless movement.

However, I studied Alexander Technique at the Southbank Alexander Technique Centre run by Peter Nobes because his approach is unique. He teaches the Alexander Technique as consciousness work, not body work. He brings about change to a student's thinking, movement and state of mind by teaching them to expand their awareness. Within this new state of expanded awareness comes the opportunity to make new choices and decisions. 

I've developed my own approach to the Alexander Technique by combining elements of Peter's work and the traditional view of the technique.
