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.

In this episode, ASO team members Erica Donnison and Dr Anikó Ball return to a key theme from their earlier conversation on the Alexander Technique applied to dentistry. Joined by ASO team member and Head of Training at the Edinburgh Alexander Training School, Dr Julia Woodman, the discussion focuses on learning styles, training contexts, and how Alexander Technique teaching can be adapted to meet the needs of different learners and professionals.

In this episode, Dr Anikó Ball, dentist and Alexander Technique teacher, discusses the Alexander Technique applied to dentistry. The conversation explores common physical challenges in dental practice, the importance of working with the whole dental team to support sustainable change, and how Alexander Technique principles can help practitioners remain effective and comfortable over the long term. Anikó also reflects on past research and introduces a new project she is about to be involved with.
