Lunging is bending with one knee instead of two.
Lunging is faster than bending both legs and it\’s also useful for reaching. Looking at the video I see that I unintentionally pull my head back a little as I reach. Oh well. Take a look at the lunge diagram at Tip 19, and another for pointing your spine.

I Just ordered your audio recording of the lying down exercise. It has already helped and I’ve only listened to it three times. I’m Getting a much clearer picture of what the Alexander Technique is all about. You put it in a way that anyone could understand. Yet you keep the instruction true to what it’s about and convey it with integrity . Thank you so much for your work. It’s worth the money!
