“Dan’s knowledge of Buddhism, the body, the Alexander Technique, as well as knowing himself deeply makes him a wonderful guide for anyone in their own personal journey toward freedom from suffering.”

I am an expert at ‘not getting better.’
After developing a nerve condition in my mid-20s, I struggled to hold a pen, type a sentence, and was out of work for years. I tried, unsuccessfully, to act like I was not afraid and that the pain didn’t bother me. I began to heal – body and mind – when I threw out who I thought I should be and used the upheaval to discover who I really was.
My turning point came when, with the training of meditation and the Alexander Technique, I decided that the scope of healing would need to include my whole self and not just my aching arms. I have helped thousands of people discover natural well-being and strength through retreats, workshops, Alexander Technique sessions, and my writings. My mission is to sow kindness, openness, and throw shade on shame.
I use humor and storytelling to share my message with groups everywhere. I am happy to report that I’m now able to toss my daughters in the air and play guitar (with poor rhythm). I live in Westchester and regularly teach in NYC and the Hudson Valley. I was awarded a Fulbright scholarship and I’m the author of the forthcoming book, Don’t Get Better.
“I came across Dan's teaching after over a year of desperately trying to cure low back pain. I thought I had to find a way to fix the pain (which was proving impossible) but I saw in working with Dan that what my nervous system and body needed was more space, relaxation, compassion to be able to do its own healing.
To this day, the teachings I learned from Dan have been some of the most beneficial in caring for chronic back pain I experience. He is a very skillful and authentic teacher and I recommend any one with chronic pain (physical or emotional) to work with him.”
