Alexander Technique

Alexander Technique changed everything. At a time when I was addicted to work, it taught me how to stop.

David Young — Alexander Technique

During my university music degree I had attended a few group sessions which intrigued me, but there were too many other exciting things to explore. Much later my dear friend and art collaborator Margaret Cameron introduced me to Jane Refshauge. She put me on the table for about 20 minutes, and the effect resonated for six months. It still took me another two years to make an appointment. Then I was on my way.

Five years later, having quit my job, I visited the Alexander-Technik-Schule Berlin, and immediately enrolled in the three-year training programme under Jörg Aßhoff. I am registered with ATVD in Germany and AUSTAT in Australia.

In Berlin, Paleopoli or Melbourne, I work one-on-one, tailoring a programme to accompany each person’s Alexander Technique journey. I periodically offer workshops and retreats. If something here resonates, contact me.

Over the years I have made several audio series drawing on Alexander Technique, meditation and art — short practices for listening to at home, in your own time.

I now find myself understanding stillness and movement, alignment and flow in new ways.

Esther, arts manager & writer

It was a surprise to me that such an easily explainable set of principles could be so beneficial and provide an ongoing and ever-deepening exploration.

Daniel, theatre director

Above all, David’s approach is whole and empowering: gently guiding me towards finding my own resources within me.

Cassie, textile & web designer

I was facing extreme work-related insomnia and after each session I had a good night’s sleep.

David’s Alexander practice has assisted me to return to my inner sanctuary. These sessions have encouraged me to realign.
