Thank you for bringing the Alexander Technique up. I had read a great deal about it and picked up a manual. I read the manual several times but still wasn't sure of my understanding of the material. I did some research and found a teacher nearby, contacted her and arranged for some lessons. Well, after 6 months of AT lessons the material in the manual makes perfect sense.
I would encourage all of my colleagues to think about AT lessons. My teacher is a professional dancer so she understands the needs (and psychology) of performers.
I found that besides better posture, I breathe much easier, am more relaxed and have much more energy.
Here are a few websites for those who are interested.

Thanks again for bringing up AT.
