Volume III: Working on Yourself
Aging with Poise
by Ruth Rootberg
Fourteen Alexander Technique teachers, trained in the UK and the USA, speak with Ruth Rootberg about what “working on yourself” means, how they learned it, and how they teach it.
“Ruth Rootberg has done it again!. This book opens a window into the thoughts and experiences of fourteen senior teachers of the Alexander Technique. It is rich in insights and a fascinating peek into how the principles of the Technique are used and taught as reflected through the eyes of those who have been growing with them over time. This book is a treasure for our community, and an enlightening resource for Alexander Technique students and those who might be interested in this life-giving work.”

Each conversation is anchored by a thought-provoking central question: How do these dedicated educators engage in their own personal development? Through these enlightening dialogues, Ruth uncovers a wealth of insights into the ongoing journey with the Technique and its transformative impact on both teaching and daily life—insights that offer valuable lessons for us all.
