Alexander Technique with Leland V.

I started going for Alexander sessions with Leland Vall after a very serious illness that had left me unable to walk for some time. I was able to walk with before I started the lessons but I was having quite a bit of difficulty. My wife, who was quite concerned about the condition I was still in, found Leland and suggested I go for a lesson to try it out. I have been so pleased that I have been going almost weekly for several years and I am vastly better on my feet than I was when I started. I have learned a lot about balance and posture that I think has really helped me. In addition to the normal lessons I have discussed, when it has occurred, any mobility issue such as having fallen. Leland has done an analysis with me of why it might have happened and helped my avoid future falls, which I think has been very successful. I also discussed with Leland how difficult it was for me to get up after an fall and he showed me how to get up from the ground unassisted. I haven’t fallen recently but am now able to get on the ground to get something from under the bed or whatever and get back up with no problem. I have been enormously happy with the outcome of the lessons and Leland is great. I really have the mobility back that I had before my illness and I am enormously happy with Leland’s lessons and the role they have played in that.

Leland has been training me in the Alexander technique for the past few years. His lessons have enabled me to feel less tension in my neck and shoulders and my breathing feels less constricted. His lessons have always left me feeling better - lighter, somehow taller. And less tense. I can't recommend Leland highly enough! He is an excellent instructor of the Alexander technique.

Leland has done a great job of training me in the Alexander technique. Working with him over the course of several years has allowed me to achieve a better sense of posture and ease within my body. He has given me tools to use throughout my daily life which have helped me deal with chronic neck and back pain. I no longer go to a chiropractor as often as i did in the past. Leland is a dedicated imaginative instructor who I recommend without hesitation.
