Student Testimonials
“Leah Zhang is one of the most gifted young teachers I’ve seen in my 25 years as an actor and professor. Being her student has been a revelation and a joy. Leah can do what only the very best can. She spots the problem with uncanny intuition about you as an individual. She gives you the precise tools you need to self-improve. And she does it all with the sure and kindly touch of a master.” *Ron Marasco, Ph.D. -- Professor of Theatre at LMU, and author of Notes to an Actor.
"I started the Alexander technique because I'm interested in body and healing work. The Alexander technique applies to all our movements. I feel more comfortable and relaxed while walking, sitting at my computer, driving, cooking and climbing stairs. Instead of feeling as though I am wearing my body out with daily use, I feel that with awareness brought about by the Alexander technique, I am using my body to its best advantage." *Gail Tomura
