Recent scientific research concerning head orientation and posture in vertebrates indicates that there is a preferred head orientation which animals maintain through a variety of behaviours. Research in the neurophysiology of balance, posture and locomotion is of comparatively recent origin, but so far as it has gone it tends to confirm Alexander’s empirical findings and should lead ultimately to an under standing and acceptance of his Technique.

To make a real difference in how we breathe, we must produce the natural conditions upon which breathing depends, and learn how to coordinate the outflow of air—otherwise known as a controlled exhalation—in relation to this total system.

I noticed with growing amazement, that Alexander Method provides very striking improvements in such diverse things as high blood pressure, breathing, depth of sleep, overall cheerfulness, mental alertness, resilience against outside pressures, and also in such refined skills as the playing of a stringed musical instrument.
