In this 63rd newsletter, Erica Donnison speaks with AT teacher Rossella Buono about how she integrates Alexander Technique and smart yoga in her work. Rossella reflects on her training with David Moore, her path into AT, and how these two approaches can inform one another in practice, alongside broader questions of how AT principles may be understood and applied across related disciplines.

In this episode, ASO speaks with Federico Pendenza, PhD, researcher and educator at the University of York, about his recent study exploring how the Alexander Technique is understood by students in UK higher education music settings. Drawing on a qualitative survey of 133 students across universities, conservatoires, and an independent institution, the conversation examines how students define AT, what shapes their engagement with it, and the benefits and challenges they describe. Federico also reflects on what these findings may suggest for communicating and integrating AT within music training.
