Book: Topics in the Alexander Technique, The Up within the Curve by Rivka Cohen (2008)

The Up within the Curve describes Rivka Cohen's practical application of the Alexander Technique. It is based on her many years of teaching which is founded on the principles and teachings of F.M. Alexander and Patrick Macdonald. This book is intended primarily as a useful tool for Teachers of the Alexander Technique; it will also be of interest to people who have experienced the technique and generally by others who would welcome an insightful perspective of the Alexander Technique provided by an internationally-renowned leader in this field.

Shmuel Nelken: Rika's notes, an outcome of many years of experience, are very close to her practical work and are reflecting it. They can be very useful and can be read again and again as a whole or in parts. I warmly recommend them to all those who are interested in Alexander's work. [Shmuel Nelken is a Master Teacher, founder and Director of ISTAT and of The Jerusalem School for the Alexander Technique.]
