Learning with Yvette Daoust
![]() Tailor-made Alexander teaching
At Barn Hill Alexander, lessons are one to one: you get my complete attention and you can learn in privacy. Each lesson includes a quiet time lying on a table while I put hands on and encourage you to release. My teaching room is peaceful and overlooks my garden. What you learn at Barn Hill Alexander The technique helps you to:
The Alexander pause that refreshes We all tend to overcomplicate life. If we pause, we can choose. It might be a choice to move more simply when getting into or out of a chair for example, or walking, or opening a heavy door. In a lesson you look at such ordinary movements afresh. It might also be a choice to stay calm and quiet in the face of stress. Practising quiet in your movements can be a good path to finding emotional quiet. Using your energy more efficiently As well as gradually lessening stiffness or pain, Alexander lessons can be energising: when you waste less energy tensing up, you have more to spend on your loved ones, on your work, on what you value most in life.

A pupil says
it is no exaggeration to say my lessons with yvette have been life-changing. i have become much more centred in myself physically and emotionally. life has become more enjoyable. I have a lighter freer more pleasurable experience of day to day living. my relationship with my body has become better and using the technique means I can now do more and enjoy what I am doing in a way I never thought possible. the lessons have in a gentle way deepened my relationships, giving me a deep sense of peace and enabling me more and more to appreciate the joy of living.
