Bend your knees even for bending hardly at all.

Leland Vall Alexander Technique Tip 37

This is the third tip in a row on bending. For reaching all the way to the floor or only to a table, in the Alexander Technique it’s always the same.  Remain standing over your feet and bend at the hips, knees and ankles. Avoid bending at the waist or upper back. The back is strongest and feels the best when you maintain its full length. Check out the previous Tip, and the one before that.
