Workshop At Your Office

The workshop left me wanting to learn more.

The introductory information about the Alexander Technique, especially pointing the spine and releasing the head were extremely useful.

Good workshop, helpful language to think about how to be in my body and to be more aware of where and when I tense my shoulders and neck.

Very useful. I feel more comfortable in my body. Interesting technique.

I liked the group dynamic and seeing other people move.

A very good workshop. Explanations were clear and questions were answered.

Great workshop, really helped me gain a better awareness of my body.

The workshop was very informative. I want to learn more.

Very useful and pleasing.

I though the workshop really shows a person how to really open up. I feel lighter and less tense already.

I thought it was very interesting. It probably could have been a half hour longer.

Thank you! Very informative. I feel like I already have a tool to use to start improving my posture.

Informative. The class made me more aware of small, everyday movement.

It was very good. I would like to take a longer class in the future.

It was informative and generous. Thank you.

I thought it was enlightening. I realized how subtle it can be to move correctly, easier, and more efficiently as opposed to closing in and fighting against the body’s natural way of moving gracefully.

You are a bundle of energy, as a teacher! How great is that! You are clear and concise and give good info in a short time. Thanks!

Very helpful. This helps my lower back.

I will never think of a chair in the same way!

It was refreshing to experience your approach to this methodology.

Enlightening and relaxing; made me feel peaceful and more physically self-aware.

This was really informative helpful with getting me to relax more.

Simultaneously challenging and yet absurdly simple.

I thought the workshop was fun and enlightening. I appreciated your sense of humor and attention to each one of us. Definitely sparked curiosity and desire to engage with my body in a different way.

I am very interested in this and would definitely like to have a more in-depth experience.

Enjoyed it! Standing in the chair. This may change my life.

Helpful to learn about how the body moves.

It was a much needed reminder to use the full length of my body. As a trapeze/movement artist, I tend to constantly focus on the tightening of my muscles to power through moves.

Very relaxing, very interesting.

I learned about becoming more aware of my body (head, back, legs, and feet).

Excellent! It was great to get back into the Alexander Technique.

Helpful in understanding what the Alexander Technique is for and for coordination of movement.

Incredibly interesting. Great teacher.

Great class. Makes me more aware of how I use my body every day.

I was intrigued and uncertain when you started. The process of going up helps me to better understand how to accomplish standing from a sitting position. I will use what you taught. Thanks for a great class.

Intriguing, I feel like I want to know more.

Great. Enlightening. I felt like I lengthened even while watching.

Excellent! You clarified a lot for me. Very clear thinking.

Very informative. A new way to move.

A little confusing but I think I get it. More on purpose, not by habit.

This was a great introduction. I feel improvements already.

Interesting class. I learned a method about the body I did not know. Great class.

You explain things about the body in an understandable way.

Enthusiastic and passionate presentation of the material.

Good pacing. Clear presentation of the concepts.

Gave me a lot of food for thought. I’m excited to learn more!

A good insightful introduction. Easy to understand. You immediately see how our bodies are constantly pulling us out of shape. It’s good to see there is a way to pull back.

Excellent opportunity – a door opened. Thank you.

Very valuable and thought provoking. Body awareness and gentle practice.

Gained a greater awareness of how I use my body and how I can free it more.

It will take a while to absorb what you demonstrated and explained. Thank you. It was very different from other body classes.

Very informative. Made me re-aware of how to use my body.

I thought you covered the subject very well and I saw improvement in all the participants. Posture and neck freedom!

Interesting. Looking forward to handouts and tips.

I liked the overview and the idea of how little energy is required. Opened my voice.

It was great to begin to learn about the Alexander Technique.

I have a bad back and I want to learn better posture.

It made me more aware of my movement and gave me something to think about.

First of all, thanks for your generosity and talents. I loved it. I feel invigorated and freer in my own body. More awake and alive.

I found it to be very interesting. Just the act of getting out of a chair became effortless and taught me that I didn’t need to use so much of my body.

Very helpful to understand the mindset of the Alexander Technique. It’s the first time it has made sense: Go up to go down or forward.

As an LMT it teaches me, reminds me to use my body more efficiently and think of it as one whole unit rather than separate parts. For my clients I now want to create space for them, elongate them, and release their hips so they’ll engage their legs and feet better.

Great class! Thanks, it was a completely new concept for me.

A very interesting introduction to the Alexander Technique, a different way of thinking about movement.

Excellent. I have been reading your weekly tips, but the class really helped me to understand the philosophy behind the Alexander Technique.

A very different approach from everything I’ve been exposed to before.

I found it enlightening and empowering. I like the idea of becoming aware of new things that I wasn’t aware of before, the option of making a new choice.

Came in to singularly obtain a lesson to help with my herniated discs in my neck…came out with a lesson that benefits my entire body. Thank you.

Very informative and interesting experience. Positive information to realize the stress we put on our bodies.

I enjoyed getting reconnected to the Alexander Technique.

Fun and informative. Thank you Leland. A great introduction to the Alexander Technique.

I loved it! I always wanted to learn about the Alexander Technique. You taught it well.

I didn’t realize how much pain, pressure and tension I felt in my body. I feel enlightened.

Very good. Very interesting and different way of thinking and moving. A little more demos on what exactly we should do differently, like what you taught my friend on the table. Each person is so unique.

I very much liked the visual examples that you gave, such as the comparison of the finger and the spine. That gave me a better understanding of what I need to and how. Thank you!!

Interesting and good for the stage.

I found a really light and easy way to stand. It made me re-think the idea of posture

This demonstration was very helpful for me. It helped me realize many things.

I found it helpful and interesting. I think the clarification about the use of my legs will help my running.

Great! Really helped my back and I will practice. Thanks.

Thanks – very interesting and informative. Thanks for the overview and demonstration.

Very good. It made me realize that I could do things to improve my posture and health.

Very enlightening about the body. Look at my body and the ground in a whole new light.

Challenging for the mind. I like Leland’s teaching style, he’s direct, no babying. I didn’t think a group class would be helpful but it definitely was.

It made me realize lots of ways I am using my body incorrectly. I strongly recommend studying Alexander with Leland. He has come up with great analogies to describe Alexander Technique concepts.

Body coordination and balance is essential for conductors.

Excellent. Thank you. Very interesting, thought provoking new ideas.

Having studied dance for a few years, the Alexander Technique taught me a new healthy way of moving the body.

Very informative. It’s a different way of thinking about my body and how I move.

Very informative. I am interested in learning more and applying it.

It was very enlightening and thought provoking. I felt lighter.

The concept of just doing 1 thing is a good way to feel better. I wonder about muscle clenching and how to use Alexander post injury.

Great! Really helped my back and I will practice!

Great class. I’ll continue to spread the word. Idea of taking up space – Wow!

It was very eye opening and Leland did great job in making me realize what my bad habits are. I leaned a few valuable tips and I am going to be more aware of how I sit, stand, walk and tighten my neck. Thanks Leland!

Effective in sensitizing me to alternate ways of thinking about the way our bodies should move.

Incredibly relaxing. Makes you more aware and appreciative of the incredible human instrument.

You look like you practice what you preach. Your shoulders are relaxed and you have a resonant voice.

A very clear and enriching introduction to the Alexander Technique!

Leland helped me to understand how to use my spine. During the walking he guided me and I felt much lighter and taller. I really liked feeling taller and more confident.

It was interesting discovering about my body.

I like the interactive way of teaching. I got a good general idea of the Alexander Technique.

It’s great. Thank you Leland. I’ll definitely think about getting more classes.

Made more aware I have to relearn how to use my body.

Very helpful to understand the of the Alexander Technique. It’s the first time it has made sense.

This workshop was filled with tons of helpful and useful information to help exist.

Very interesting to learn I have new choices in how I use my head and body and finding my space, being less task oriented, being more of me rather than being what I can do.

I thought it was good and could probably benefit from private instruction.

This was a useful introduction to thinking about standing, sitting and head position.

It was a wonderful introduction to the Alexander Technique and is immediately applicable to my practice as a musician and for my overall body awareness. I learned a lot regarding distinguishing spine vs. head vs. arms vs. legs.

Great introduction to the Alexander Technique.

I have learned something about the use of my legs and how that relates to posture. I also feel less tension in my neck. Thank you.

This can help the body function so much better and relieve tension.

It was very gentle and natural. Useful for everybody in today’s world.

Interesting Theories! This could be used for not just everyday routine, but also in martial art applications against opponents and in health applications.

This was very good. I feel more aware of my body.

Great class! Thanks. It was a completely new concept for me.

Wonderful! The immediate restoration of my body.

This workshop was very informative. I just wish it could have been longer! My awareness was opened to things I do every day and never pay attention to

Very dynamic. A good introduction; not too complex to be impossible to understand. Made me want to continue.

As a bodyworker and a teacher, I am always interested in encouraging students to use their bodies efficiently while practicing massage therapy. This workshop should be taught to all bodyworkers in all modalities.
