The Onlind Technique and the Primary Control Mechanism

Alexander technique involves being in the same room as someone and physically close to them. It switches on what alexander called the primary control, which is a term he got from an anatomist at some point. Most people come into a lesson in their outside, slumpy hunch mode. Alexander shows students this way of being, and then play with various things in that frame. The teacher's job is like, why are you doing any of that stuff? This is te least important thing you'll ever do.
