Workshop At Your Office

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

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 helpful. This helps my lower back.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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

It was interesting discovering about my body.

Incredibly interesting. Great teacher.

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

I liked the group dynamic and seeing other people move.

Enthusiastic and passionate presentation of the material.

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

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.

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.

You explain things about the body in an understandable way.

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

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.

A very clear and enriching introduction to the Alexander Technique!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Great introduction to the Alexander Technique.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Excellent opportunity – a door opened. Thank you.

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

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Simultaneously challenging and yet absurdly simple.

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

It was informative and generous. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Very useful and pleasing.

Helpful to learn about how the body moves.

The workshop left me wanting to learn more.

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

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

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

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

Good for an introduction. Makes we want to study 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.

Interesting and good for the stage.

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

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

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

I enjoyed the ideas and experiential learning.

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

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

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

Very informative. A new way to move.

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

It was refreshing to experience your approach to this methodology.

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.

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

Body coordination and balance is essential for conductors.

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

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