In this episode of Alexander Technique Made Easy, Nick Chapman explores a talk given by Frank Pierce Jones — one of the most rigorous scientific researchers of the Alexander Technique — at Indiana University's School of Music. Jones spent decades studying how the technique affects posture, coordination, and movement, and this episode unpacks his ideas for a modern audience: what "poise" really means, why habitual tension undermines performance, and how Alexander's principles apply to musicians, speakers, and anyone working with their body under pressure. Whether you're new to the Alexander Technique or already study it, this episode offers a clear, research-grounded entry point into Jones's thinking.
