Smart Yoga: Apply the Alexander Technique to Enhance Your Practice, Prevent Injury, and Increase Body Awareness

This book was exactly what I hoped it would be. I was curious about Alexander Technique but had no prior introduction to it. I am a dedicated yoga student who hopes to do teacher training in the near future. I learned a great deal from this book and found it accessible, clear, and easy to read. I read much of it slowly to really test out incorporating the suggestions into my own practice, and I feel sure that my practice has grown and changed thanks to this book and hopefully will continue to do so as I revisit my notes. I hope I can continue to learn about the Alexander Technique and Alexander yoga. I even hope I can find a way to do lessons with an Alexander Technique teacher eventually. I wish a workshop or training in Alexander yoga were happening somewhere local to me, but I don't believe this fusion is happening near me in the States. Finally, I was especially grateful for the tips and directions in the book for yogis with hypermobile joints. Not all yoga books address those of us with joint laxity, but ideally they should because there are many of us in the yoga community. Thanks so much for this teaching, Mr. Moore!

A new take on yoga combined with Alexander Technique. I've read a few books on AT and this one clarified what exactly it is better than others I've read. I think it would be helpful for all AT and/or Yoga practitioners.

This is a great book for taking yoga in a direction that combines the concepts from the Alexander Technique with yoga practice. This book is very well written and may be singularly unique in the concepts it covers.

I won this book in a Goodreads giveaway. I love yoga and have not done much of it lately due to some health restrictions. This book gave me work arounds and other poses that I can do with my restrictions. Looking forward to using this book to help me get better and better in my poses. Love it and would recommend for anyone, enjoy!

Delightful companion combining Alexander Technique and Yoga, offering a safe way to enjoying the huge benefits of learning both.Beautifully illustrated and clearly written explanations.Compiled with wisdom and experience, David Moore generously shares his life's work.

A great book, very clear description of the Alexander Technique and its application to yoga.
