Dr. Yvette Daoust MSTAT

Director, Barn Hill Alexander


 ... 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

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). *

Other experience

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.


Mme Daoust, enseignante professionnelle et délicate,
m'a simplement fait mieux comprendre
comment m'asseoir à l'ordinateur et au piano
de sorte que je me serve de moins d'énergie,
ce qui a vite atténué la tension au cou et aux épaules.
