F. M. Alexander and the
Psycho-Physical Basis of Learning
What we take in from teachers and how well we can teach others depends on our psycho-physical state.
Tommy Thompson explores what happens when you make changes in the primary source, (i.e., attentional recognition) versus making changes in what is reflected in the body (i.e. kinesthetic recognition).
