Tracy Hall • Physical Therapist • Chico, California

"With 18 years experience in the health care professions, I appreciate soundly researched and scientifically based approaches to rehabilitation.

David has a unique way of reiterating known fundamental laws, redefining erroneous concepts, and instructing the participants through a successful treatment program."

Lynn Barry • P.T.A., A.T.C., N.M.T. • Beverly Sports Medicine • Beverly, Massachusetts

Here are Quotations from the Yoga World:

"Application of these Teachings will take Yoga to new heights in the Western World. The DSL Method is profoundly sensical."
Lesli Hunter • Yoga Teacher & Student • Sedona, Arizona

"You did for me in 4 hours what physiotherapy couldn’t do in 4 years. And, you gave me the tools to continue working on my own."
Michelle Sands • Yoga Teacher • Montreal, Quebec

"While DSL's concept and execution of body work is nothing short of amazing, it is his approach to yoga that has been life altering for me. The subtle yet profound changes have reinvented not only my own practice, but the way I teach yoga as well. Of all the yoga techniques I've studied in the past 30 years, not only are David's methods what I've been searching for , but the feedback from my students is equally as positive. I'm excited about teaching yoga again."
Nan Araneo • Yoga Teacher • Rockport, MA

"DSL has taught in the last 3 teacher training programs I have run this year. [This was written in 2003. I am no longer teaching there. — DSL] I chose him for the Anatomy & Physiology part of our training because of his yoga background and orientation. I have observed him and participated in his classes in each one of those trainings and have the highest regard for his expertise and knowledge of the body and ways to approach asana. He brings an awareness of how injury occurs in the first place and what role yoga is able to play in healing the body. He brings a depth of knowledge that is unusual to find and a way of teaching that allows students regardless of background to understand and utilize the principles in their teaching of yoga. He is very respectful and pays particular attention to all levels of safety for his students. In my opinion, he definitely should be considered as having mastered the teaching of yoga ..."
Ruth Hartung • Director & Instructor • 7 Centers Yoga Arts • Sedona, AZ

"This is an essential course for anyone who is serious about teaching yoga. David presents the information in an interesting, insightful and amusing manner. I want to learn EVERYTHING DSL knows, that’s why I’m coming back for more!"
Lucy Farmbrough • Iyengar Style Yoga Teacher • London, England

"David Scott Lynn is a bodyworker extraordinaire. His knowledge of the structure of the body and the way the muscles cooperate with each other in their movement has prompted us to put him on our faculty as the anatomy professor in our Yoga Teacher Training Program. His work is state of the art and goes way beyond most traditional understanding of how the physical body operates. His patience and genius in working on me has changed my awareness of myself. His work is lasting and his selflessness is amazing."
Gary Majchrzak • Co-Director, 7 Centers Yoga Arts • Sedona, Arizona
[I am no longer teaching at 7 Centers — DSL]

"The workshop I attended with David was about anatomy and alignment of the spine combined with demonstrations of gentle yoga poses of a more healing and restorative nature. Poses like the cobra, half locust, gentle lying twists, tadasana, taking time to really sink into these simpler poses to experience their full benefits without rushing. ... David is a wonderful blend of clarity, humor, strength and compassion as a person and with respect to his teaching style. He has a way of keeping people's attention focused and on track. He's very interesting to listen to. ... David is excellent at working with people in groups and individually. In his workshop he would sometimes demonstrate a pose and then have the students try, providing insights on alignments and modifications based on the specific needs of individuals. He does not teach yoga on a 'one size fits all' basis. He understands a student's need for individualized instruction. He's very versatile and intuitive in this way. ... He creates a very safe physical, emotional and psychological environment. He's very professional and personable at the same time, nice blend of both. ... In addition, David is also an expert bodyworker and his understanding of anatomy and physiology is vast. He is creative with his own theories of bodywork and applies this understanding to the practice of yoga. ... He's very intelligent and well-read. He has many years of experience. I go to him for bodywork and he is in my opinion a true healer."
Jennifer Lynn Marcussen • Yoga Teacher • Omaha, Nebraaska

"I found that combining David’s bodywork with chiropractic adjustments gave me deep releases that I never experienced before. David’s teaching and understanding of the body in a practical yet yogic way, totally fills in the gaps I’ve always found between yoga, anatomy, common sense and practical living."
William Don Johnson • Yoga Teacher • Sedona, Arizona

Here are Quotations from the Massage & Bodywork World:

"David is a Master Bodyworker who continues to be invited back here over and over by clients who love his work! His yoga workshops help one to get into their body and experience the principles of how yoga and the body works."
Sandy Aquila • BodyMind Therapist & Director, Omaha Healing Arts Center • Omaha, Nebraska

"David is an important leader in the field of BodyWork."
From a Brochure of National Holistic Institute • Emeryville, California

"The students in Heartwood’s approved Massage program felt that The DSL Method [now known as DSL EdgeWork] was the most valuable work in Heartwood’s massage curriculum. Many students felt that David's work instilled a sense of competence in their ability to do massage & bodywork. It is an open ended system allowing and encouraging students to continually improve their work through active practitioner/client exchange. I have personally found that, based on feedback from clients, The DSL Method is on par with, if not superior to, the other major bodywork systems available today."
Rex Dippre • Massage Therapist • Director of Admissions, Heartwood Institute, 1989-1992 • Arcata, California

"Through my years of experience in clinical practice and taking over 100 seminars in bodywork, I have found The DSL Method to be the missing link toward a greater understanding of human physiology and chronic reflex pain patterns. I endorse and highly recommend taking a course in The DSL Method."
Kyle Wright, L.M.T. • Director of The Wright Center of NMT, Inc. and Southeastern School of Neuromuscular & Massage Therapy, Inc. • Jacksonville, Florida & Charlotte, N. Carolina

"My associates and I attended this DSL Workshop and want to share this new information with you. We have been using the Structural Balancing & Release Technique, and are thrilled with the results."
David Shue • L.M.T., N.M.T. • National Instructor of NMT for the Blind • Neuromuscular Therapy Center • Sarasota, Florida

"I’m writing to let you know I found your seminar very motivating and informative. I now know areas I can and will study further, your class gave me the incentive. I like the Edge concept ... it was really exciting to feel the muscle tension releases. I can't say enough about your work. I know this method will become known and used. It's got to because its just so very, very, helpful."
Susan Biercuk • Massage Therapist • Vermont

"David Scott Lynn is fast developing into one of the bright teachers in the field of bodywork. His knowledge and enthusiasm challenges the student to begin thinking and experiencing themselves and their clients in new ways."
Gene Arbetter • Massage Therapist • Chicago, Illinois

"I am really pleased, and truly amazed. The DSL Method is a revolutionary, exciting new addition to soft tissue bodywork and pain relief. A thorough, complete, in-depth system, it is the missing link to postural alignment and pain relief. I had worked on some of my clients for years with good results, yet The DSL Method, especially the abdominal wall technique, changes them incredibly in a very short time. The new techniques save my body from wear and tear with profound results for my clients."
Peter Howe, N.M.T. • Howe Pain Relief Center • Greenfield, Massachusetts

"David's emphasis on viewing posture as dynamic with the focus on the individual has increased my results. I would recommend the course to anyone who is looking for an understanding of the structural functioning of the body."
Ralph Stephens • L.M.T. , N.M.T. • Sports Massage Instructor • Iowa City, Iowa

"David Scott Lynn is addressing and challenging issues that are not being significantly approached in the field of Massage & BodyWork."
Dan Ulrich • L.M.T. • Cofounder of Suncoast School of Massage & Former Chairman of the Florida State Licensing Board • Tampa, Florida

"From a professional bodyworker’s point of view, David Scott Lynn’s work is exemplary. This is not a massage, it is [as much as possible] a pain free release done at the deep muscle level and a perfect complement to other forms of bodywork you may employ. I am completely devoted to his work and would stand in line on a rainy day behind the rest of you for one of his sessions."
Karen Spencer • Chinese Massage Therapist • Prescott, Arizona

The Following Quotes are from Clients:

"Since doing the BodyWork and Yoga with David, my posture has improved, I am taller, and back and neck pain from injuries can no longer gain a hold of me. David’s work has deeply and profoundly benefited me and my experience of life."
Louise Novell • Chino Valley, Arizona

"The DSL Method is revolutionizing and uniting the worlds of yoga and bodymind therapy. I have found that this original system is a practical way for both recipient and practitioner to maximize the benefits and minimize the potential injuries from both yoga and bodywork. Through the ongoing process of learning about my Edge, I have been able to expand my awareness and to bring the practice of meditation into daily life activities. At the deepest level The DSL Method represents significant advances in the work of emotional clearing, including opening the possibilities of healing through microgenetic moments."
Jenny Dysart • Lifetime Client & Yoga/BodyWork Student • Sedona, AZ

"David Scott Lynn's gift is extraordinary. Not only did his personal brand of body work restore me to physical balance and freed me of life-long chronic pain, he went on to instruct me in the art of yoga. Sensitively — and amazingly knowledgeably — David taught me how to help myself maintain and build upon all his solid achievements. David is a natural, and I'll be forever grateful that our paths crossed."
Marc J. Lane • Internationally Known Finance & Tax Attorney • Chicago, Illinois

"I am very thankful to David Scott Lynn for helping me find a form of stretching that I actually look forward to doing each morning. There is a great freedom in his unique type of therapeutic strtetching in which gravity becomes the healing force rather than effort. I can feel my spine stretching and my entire body feeling flexible and alive after these sessions, which augment David's highly effective body work."
Regina Campbell • PBS Producer/Host • Regina's Vegetarian Table

"A serious teenage bike injury, a fall off a hill at the Marlboro Music Festival in 1968, and a malignant melanoma on my left arm when I was 26 years old, have all contributed to a lifetime of physical concerns and pain management. Of the myriad of Doctors, Physical and Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Yoga and exercise instructors I have used, none have helped me as has David Scott Lynn. His treatments are both preventative and curative — his work holds. I am at least an inch taller than two years ago, and am enjoying strong, healthy, virtually pain free cello playing. David has an encyclopedic knowledge of anatomy, and more importantly, has extraordinary perceptions of the interrelatedness of muscles, nerves, fascia, emotions, and the mind. ... He has been an invaluable resource to the faculty and student body of the New England Conservatory of Music."
