Workshop At Your Office

Intriguing, I feel like I want to know more.

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.

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.

Incredibly interesting. Great teacher.

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

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.

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

A very clear and enriching introduction to the Alexander Technique!

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

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

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.

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!

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

Very insightful and informative introduction. Thank you!

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

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

I liked the group dynamic and seeing other people move.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Enthusiastic and passionate presentation of the material.

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

Excellent opportunity – a door opened. Thank you.

Very helpful. This helps my lower back.

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

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.

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

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

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

Simultaneously challenging and yet absurdly simple.

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Very informative. A new way to move.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 was interesting discovering about my body.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Body coordination and balance is essential for conductors.

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

Helpful to learn about how the body moves.

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

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.

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

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!!

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

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

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

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.

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

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

Great introduction to the Alexander Technique.

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

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

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

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

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

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

This was a great introduction. I feel improvements already.
