1 Action to Change Your Future

Free video

One breath, used on purpose: a deep inhalation, then an exhalation so slow it would not put out a candle. Alexander shows how that single pause settles the nervous system and puts a moment between what happens to you and what you do about it.

Ugly Exercise for a Young Face

Free video

It looks ridiculous, which is rather the point. Rotate the tongue slowly inside a closed mouth, pressing gently out against the cheeks — it wakes facial muscles that normally sleep and brings blood to the skin. Thirty seconds, anywhere, and nobody need watch.

The 5% You Actually Breathe With

Free video

Most people use a fraction of the breath available to them. Alexander shows where the rest of it is — low, slow and into the belly — and why the difference shows up in how calm you feel rather than how much air you moved.

Memory, Concentration, Coordination

Free video

A cross-body coordination drill you can do standing up, anywhere. It looks like a game and works like a test: the moment the pattern breaks is the moment the brain is being asked to do something new, which is the whole point of it.
