Most Australian library networks will carry a range of books and videos on the Alexander Technique and many bookshops will be able to get specific books for you. Your teacher will be able to recommend basic titles but there are now many books covering different aspects and dimensions of the technique.

Alexander wrote four books and numerous articles between 1894 and 1950.  His entire writings are published in a volume called  “F. Mathias Alexander,  Articles and Lectures”, published by Mouritz,  UK.

Alexander’s writings are considered somewhat difficult by todays standards but serious students will derive invaluable knowledge from reading his works.  Especially recommended for serious students is the chapter called  “Evolution of a Technique”  in his third book,  “The Use of the Self”.  (1932)

Highly recommended basic books are:-

Michael Gelb’s  “Body Learning” 

Wilfred Barlow’s  “The Alexander Principle” 

Frank Pierce Jones’  “Freedom to Change”  (formerly Body Awareness in Action)

There are also a number of audio tapes available which can talk you through the various aspects and procedures of the Technique.

  The field of inquiry that explores the notion that self knowledge of our psycho-physical organisation (kinaesthetic awareness), and learning the process of inhibition and direction to develop that organisation, (as process rather than goal), may expand our consciousness to a continuous awareness of the fundamental interconnectedness with the larger environment/ecology of which we are a part.
