The 47th Annual Alexander/Barstow Summer Institute - An Alexander Technique Summer Institute June 2020. This institute continues the tradition of intensive Alexander Technique workshops pioneered by Marjorie Barstow. The teachers of The Barstow Institute continue her pioneering work. Practical applications with new or familiar activities deepen the experience for each student. Whether sitting in a chair or playing the violin, going for a walk or singing a song, the result of clear direction and attention in activity is a rewarding one. Each day Alexander work is supplemented with Tai Chi in the early morning, and Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement in the afernoon. The Institute is held on the University of Nebraska Campus in Lincoln, Nebraska.

What is the FM Alexander Technique?
Some hints for working with the FM Alexander Technique - if you have had lessons, these hints will be a helpful reminder. If not, they may jog your thinking a little, and will let you know what I like to emphasize when I teach.
What makes the FM Alexander Technique unique?
Some ideas about how we are organized in perception and movement. - This may be a bit long, but it should help you begin to make sense of your experiences during lessons, and begin to understand how learning the Technique takes place.
Consciously Guided Observation - here is a process, that with patience and persistence, will help you discover how the principles of the FM Alexander Technique work in your activities. This takes a bit of time. I suggest you print it out, and work with it over a period of days. Or years, if you like it.
Body Mapping - This article guides you through a practical process for constructively applying an understanding of anatomy to improving how we move.
Thoughts on Learning and Teaching: - This article is aimed at teachers of the Technique or those training to be teachers. However the discussion of how I believe we learn the Technique may help anyone studying it to understand the processes they are going through in lessons and between them.
