Up With GravitySM

This system, created by Alexander Technique teacher Robert Rickover, is a simple and effective way to use gravity in a way that helps your coordination. The Up With GravitySM website gives short, straight-forward lessons that you can follow in sequence so you can start learning this method for yourself without a teacher. I’ve found this system to be very complementary to the Alexander Technique, as well as very accessible to start applying on your own.
