Dr. Yvette Daoust MSTAT, Director Barn Hill Alexander
I
began learning the Alexander technique over twenty years ago, and have been
teaching it since 1995 at Barn Hill Alexander. I also taught the
technique at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office for ten years. I trained as a teacher with the late Walter Carrington, one of the first teachers trained by F.M. Alexander, and am a teaching member of the Society of Teachers of the Alexander Technique (STAT). I am also registered with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC). I first came to London from Canada to do postgraduate work in
literature at the University of London. After being awarded my PhD I
worked for some years for the British Council, teaching English in the
Sultanate of Oman, and later travelling to Algeria, Germany, Morocco,
South Africa, Sudan and Tunisia. I enjoy gardening, music, films,
theatre and teaching. épaules.

Yvette is a fine teacher for even the most physically unaware; she just
gently gets on with things - a slight repositioning of the head here, a
verbal suggestion there - till you slowly manage to apply the general
approach for yourself.

Alexander teaching
STAT is the
oldest and largest professional body of Alexander teachers worldwide, founded in 1958 to maintain and improve professional
standards. Teaching members complete a three-year full-time
training course, are fully insured, and are bound by the Society's Code
of Professional Conduct. The CNHC is a new umbrella body broadly regulating complementary healthcare practitioners.
