Workshop At Your Office

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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 relaxing, very interesting.

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

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

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

A very clear and enriching introduction to the Alexander Technique!

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

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.

Interesting. Looking forward to handouts and tips.

Helpful to learn about how the body moves.

I enjoyed the ideas and experiential learning.

I liked the group dynamic and seeing other people move.

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!

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

It was interesting discovering about my body.

I found the workshop informative and enjoyable. I would like to learn more.

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

I enjoyed getting reconnected to the Alexander Technique.

Intriguing, I feel like I want to know 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.

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

A very interesting lesson, I am intrigued. Feel like I have only seen the tip of the iceberg and I want to learn more.

You explain things about the body in an understandable way.

Great! Really helped my back and I will practice!

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.

Very good. I liked it and appreciate the time and your attitude. You have really helped put it into practical terms.

The workshop left me wanting to learn more.

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.

Simultaneously challenging and yet absurdly simple.

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

Interesting and good for the stage.

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

Very useful and pleasing.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Love the fact that I raised my internal awareness of my body and how I live and act in it.

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

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

It was very interesting and informative. I learned to be more aware of the way I stand.

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

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

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.

Good overview, my introduction to the Alexander Technique. It’s a new way of thinking about how you move.

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

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

Very informative. A new way to move.

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

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.

Good pacing. Clear presentation of the concepts.

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

Interesting. A different way to think about holding my body.

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

This was a great introduction. I feel improvements already.

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

Very interesting concept. Leland is a very enthusiastic and great teacher.

This was an interesting, useful workshop. It got me thinking about how I used my body.

I liked the workshop and learned a lot. Interesting and practical.

I enjoyed it. I appreciate the subtlety and presence that this work requires. I really like the hands-on parts. Thank you so much for taking the time to work with us.

I thought it was interesting to see how small things we change in our posture or way to use our body can make a big difference in our selves.

Great. Reminding me why Alexander was so helpful at school. Already I can feel tension vanishing.

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

Wonderful! The immediate restoration of my body.

Enthusiastic and passionate presentation of the material.

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

I had absolutely no idea what to expect from this workshop. I would like to further investigate the Alexander Technique. The workshop gave a tine taste of what to expect. Thank you.

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.

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

Very helpful. This helps my lower back.

Very interesting workshop. I got a new idea about the movements I do with my body.

It was very informative – I feel a lot more open and at ease. I feel my energy going upward.

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.

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

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

It was a good reminder of how to use your body. The hand-on for each person allowed everyone to experience a new movement in the body.

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

Great workshop. Really helped me gain a better awareness of my body. I’ll be more conscious of my sitting and standing.

It was informative and generous. Thank you.

Great, positive, upbeat introduction to the Alexander Technique. It renewed my approach to movement.

Incredibly interesting. Great teacher.

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.

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

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

I really enjoyed it. I’m interested in seeing how it has changed the way I function in the real world outside of this class.

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.

Very insightful and informative introduction. Thank you!

Leland makes some basic principles of the Alexander Technique so clear that we experienced the results immediately.

Mind Opening! Really makes you aware of all the places that hold you hold tension.

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

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.

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.

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

Excellent opportunity – a door opened. Thank you.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Body coordination and balance is essential for conductors.

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

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

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

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

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

It was refreshing to experience your approach to this methodology.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Great introduction to the Alexander Technique.

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

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

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!!

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

Good for an introduction. Makes we want to study more.

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.

I enjoyed the experiential nature of the class. Alexander Technique seems best learned this way. I would like to learn more about incorporating it into my body mechanics.

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

Very interesting and original. Shows how helpful the Alexander Technique is.

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

It was great. I certainly feel lighter and got some good tips.

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!

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