Praise for Leland Vall

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!

Helpful to learn about how the body moves.

This class caused me to think differently about how I contract myself, how I tend to make myself smaller and how there is always a tendency to do that.

An eye-opening way to look at everyday movements.

A very clear and enriching introduction to the Alexander Technique!

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

I took private lessons from Leland and found him hugely helpful. He is a keen listener and is very responsive with practical solutions to one’s problems. I recommend him highly.

It was very helpful. As an actor I could could see using this on stage.

I thought it was amazing. Very informative and it really made a difference! It also helped me further realize my posture problems.

I took private lessons with Leland and found him to be knowledgeable, patient and able to communicate the Alexander message in various ways so that I could incorporate the information. In six sessions I learned how to use my body more economically and effectively.

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.

This was a great introduction. I feel improvements already.

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

My classes with Leland were amazing and really changed my life!  I wasn’t able to take many classes, but the revelations I got from Leland’s classes made me conscious of how I use my body. I recommend him wholeheartedly!

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.

I’ve studied with Leland for many years and though my back problems cleared up fairly soon, I hope to continue for many more for the body benefits and for the sheer delight of it. Try his short, transparent Alexander Tips. His website has a wealth of clear ideas and useful links.

The workshop was very enlightening – the idea of not relating your body to the objects around you was very new to me. I have a lot of neck and shoulder tension and I and I felt it release a lot during the workshop. Thank you!

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

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