Edward Maisel, Director of the American Fitness Research and consultant to the President's Council on Physical Fitness, also found lessons in the Alexander Technique extremely effective. In his book, The Resurrection of the Body, he described the benefits of these lessons:

"There are an overall flexibility and tonic ease of movement, greater freedom in the action of the eyes, less tension in the jaws, more relaxation in the tongue and throat, and deeper breathing because of the effect of the new alignment on the diaphragm. There are also a sense of weightlessness and a diminution of the effort previously thought necessary to move one's limbs. Activity is now more free and flowing - no longer jerky and heavy with strain."
