Ted speaks about the body’s own sense of itself, what Sherrington dubbed “proprioception.” This includes not only the familiar sense of the body in space and joints moving, but also the constant feedback processes happening at an almost completely unconscious level. He guides the class through several exercises, during which we use supported positions (like […]

Ted introduces the subject of developmental movement, placing it within the context of Sensorimotor Awareness. Lots of practical work.

Ted speak about the crucial importance of the facial muscles, how they are related to mood, vocal function, and the postural system as a whole. Ted leads the class through a long series of exercises geared toward “brightening the face,” or encouraging the facial muscles to release and regain natural tone.

Ted gives a talk about the relationship between the function of the voice and the balance of the head. One of the earliest things that FM Alexander noticed about his hoarseness was that he could mitigate it somewhat by preventing himself from “pulling back” his head while he vocalized. Why should this be the case? […]

Ted gives an hour-long class exploring the arms and shoulder girdle. Ted speaks about how the arms and shoulders are related to the postural system, how we tend to use them in a way that disrupts the natural function of the postural system, and how to bring about release and restored natural function using our […]

A comprehensive course of study on how to heighten kinesthetic awareness and control of the body in action. Dr. Dimon demonstrates that understanding specific bodily systems enables us to identify how we interfere with them and become more aware in the process.

What is the whispered "ah," and why do we practice it? This procedure is explained in detail in Breathing & The Voice. The "how-to" manual provides background information and step-by-step exercises that build on each other to make this procedure accessible to students at every skill level. Anyone interested in freeing up the breathing mechanism will find this useful.

This text is a basic course in learning how to use your hands to teach the Alexander Technique. The manual includes detailed explanations of procedures and how to practice and execute them in preparation for working with students. These include basic positions of mechanical advantage, using the hands like feet, the “hands on the back of the chair” procedure, placing hands on the student, and specific teaching procedures.

Drawing from research in the fields of evolution, neuroscience, and physiology, Ted Dimon's revolutionary model provides a new paradigm for understanding psychophysical functioning and how it can be applied to child development, performance, and living holistically.
