Having accepted my poor posture along with consequent little ailments as part of my own given make-up, it never occurred to me that most of my problems were self-inflicted - let alone, that I could change. Thus, when I started having lessons in the F. M. Alexander Technique, all I was hoping for was some help with my lower back pain. To my surprise, I found a key to discovering new horizons. Not only did the pain disappear - together with my frequent stress-related headaches - but the technique also enables me to think and react differently, creating a completely fresh outlook on my life.

Intrigued by the magic of it all, I embarked on a three-year, full-time training course at The Constructive Teaching Centre in London, the world's largest training centre for
teachers of the F. M. Alexander Technique. Its director, the late Walter Carrington was trained by F. M. Alexander himself and worked many years as his main assistant, subsequently taking over the school after Alexander's death.
