I'm guessing most people think of the Alexander Technique as a form of Body Work. But what F.M.Alexander wrote about more than anything else was thinking! The way you think influences your posture more than anything else (injuries and congenital considerations aside).
Now, obviously there are physical aspects to consider when it comes to posture, but I purposely wanted to stay away from that in this video as it tends to produce a mindset that encourages more interference of your poise.
Once you've watched the video and have a sense of the mindset we're after, you could add a little more detail in understanding the way your head balances on your spine, which you can read about here, but don't let that knowledge change the quality of your thinking!
