Steps to Transformation

In 1960, two years after a life-altering accident, Anne began an intensive study of the Alexander Technique – a journey that would profoundly reshape her life. This deeply personal account serves as both a memoir and a vital call to maintain the core principles and practice of the Technique.

Through her own remarkable recovery, Anne demonstrates how this work does more than restore physical equilibrium; it helps to create a heightened awareness of the world around us. Steps to Transformation reveals the profound benefit and immense joy of working with the Technique.

This book is an invaluable vehicle for developing a better understanding of the Alexander Technique for teachers, trainees and, of course, pupils. Anne is the teacher to whom Angela and I have returned over the years; she is faithful, honest, and true to F M Alexander’s principles.

“Love, love, love your book – can’t tell you how much I enjoyed it. Probably the best written of any book in the Alexander world.

Very clear and gets the message through. I think it’s something a brand new person on a desert island could learn from, and an experienced person could learn new things. I did.”

“I would like to let you know that I had the most amazing flight while reading your book. Japan usually takes around 14 hours which is quite demanding but I kept reading your book and I didn’t get tired.”
