Stony Brook Congress 1986 – Interview with Marjory Barlow

Conversation with Marjory Barlow, the niece of F. M. Alexander she was one of the first to be trained to become a teacher. She talks about the principles and history of the Alexander Technique. Marjory Barlow was F. M. Alexander’s niece, she took lessons from him and trained with him to become a certified teacher in 1933. Married to Dr. Wilfred Barlow, a medical doctor who was also trained by FM, they ran one of the earliest training courses in London. Marjory was keen to ensure that F.M.’s message was not diluted, to continue to preserve the fundamentals of FM’s remarkable work. Marjory was always keen to point out that the real teaching of this technique is only imparted on a one to one basis.
