Ted Dimon, Ed.D, is an educator, philosopher, psychologist, and author who has dedicated his life to the study of mind and body and our unique human capacity for conscious development. He is a leading theorist in the field of psychophysical education, which focuses on the study of mind and body in action as an educational discipline. He is founder and Director of The Dimon Institute in New York City, an organization dedicated to training educators, and to researching and studying the human being and its evolving conscious systems. Ted is Adjunct Professor of Clinical Psychology and Education at Columbia Teachers College.

Ted’s areas of expertise include the psychology of attention, the study of the body in action, the mastery of skill, anatomical function and design, the study of stress, the vocal and respiratory systems, and comparative evolution. He is a leading expert and scholar on the work of F. Matthias Alexander, a pioneer in the study of habit, musculoskeletal function, and the control of action. 

Ted’s published works include The Undivided Self; Anatomy of the Moving Body; The Body in Motion: Its Evolution and Design; Anatomy of the Voice; Your Body, Your Voice; Breathing and the Voice; The Elements of Skill; A New Model of Man’s Conscious Development; Neurodynamics: The Art of Mindfulness in Action; and The Use of the Hands in Teaching. His upcoming works include a comprehensive text on functional anatomy and the human anatomical systems that builds on The Body in Motion; a book dealing with the issue of prevention and health; and a personal narrative account of his training and his study of attention.

Ted has written an online course entitled The Body in Action, which explains the fundamental elements of the Alexander Technique using the personal narrative of F. Matthias Alexander as its guiding structure. The course is intended as a freely available resource, and is presented as a website.
