Workshop At Your Office

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Good pacing. Clear presentation of the concepts.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Excellent opportunity – a door opened. Thank you.

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

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 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.

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

It was refreshing to experience your approach to this methodology.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Simultaneously challenging and yet absurdly simple.

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.

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.

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

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.

Interesting and good for the stage.

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

Great! Really helped my back and I will practice!

This was a great introduction. I feel improvements already.

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.

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

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

Very helpful. This helps my lower back.

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

Very relaxing, very interesting.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

A very clear and enriching introduction to the Alexander Technique!

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Enthusiastic and passionate presentation of the material.

Very useful and pleasing.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

I enjoyed getting reconnected to the Alexander Technique.

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

Wonderful! The immediate restoration of my body.

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

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

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

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

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

It was informative and generous. Thank you.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Body coordination and balance is essential for conductors.

Incredibly interesting. Great teacher.

Helpful to learn about how the body moves.

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

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

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

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

Great introduction to the Alexander Technique.

Very informative. A new way to move.

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

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

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

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

I enjoyed the ideas and experiential learning.

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

The workshop left me wanting to learn more.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

Intriguing, I feel like I want to know more.

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

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

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

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

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.

It was interesting discovering about my body.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

I liked the group dynamic and seeing other people move.

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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!

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.

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

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

You explain things about the body in an understandable way.

Very insightful and informative introduction. Thank you!

Interesting. Looking forward to handouts and tips.

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