Luke Ford writes: I am just realizing how much stronger I am today than when I started my Alexander Technique teacher training program in January 2009.
When I started the program, which lasts for three hours every day (36 weeks a year), I had great doubts about my ability to do it. Just the thought of the 20-minute commute each way scared me. I would have to be operating at a high level while driving my car or I would get into trouble.
So the first few weeks of the program, I took an energy drink (Five Hour Energy) almost every morning to pep me up.
