What exercise have you had difficulty with? How can you improve?
    When working on the Alexander techniques and the different exercises used in it, I have found most of them doable. Still, I find difficulty with  the exercise where we are laying on the ground in the Alexander position and we have to lift our pelvic upwards, so that our back arches in the air. This part is easy, but when we have to come back down to basic position, by rolling our back one vertebra at a time, making it a one smooth movement for the back to hit the floor once again. I find it very difficult to do this, since I am not apparently able to differentiate my vertebra's from each other and so, instead my back hits the floor like a straight plank. It will probably help if I start to focus more on the flexibility of my back, doing exercises like the spinal roll and try yoga in general to further better my flexibility.
