Members of the public in Japan learn through their Alexander Technique lesson with Lucas Lorenzi who is a fully trained STAT certified teacher since 1985. Our series of twenty lessons over a number of five months is highly recommended and usually enough to obtain a basis of involvement and understanding which can be applied outside the lessons.
Theme is to improve our ability to work on ourselves. Alexander said, as we all know, 'if you want to do what I do, do what I did'. And the technique is the result of his observing himself in the mirror and giving directions. So, in order to refine these skills, we ourselves have to practice what he went through, using mirrors, and be prepared to give consideration to the verbal directions as described again and again in FM's books.
