"The Alexander Technique has been a life changing  experience for me and I have now incorporated the Alexander Technique into my daily life. Learning the Alexander Technique has helped restore and maintain my voice by being able to keep my vocal structure open with improved breath, voice and posture. Also, I believe that it has helped my overall health through uprightness, especially balance.

Laurel is a first rate teacher.  I have many years of higher education and continuing education so I’ve had the opportunity to have many teachers.  Laurel is a first rate professional who is knowledgeable and focused and who teaches in a patient  and respectful manner.  I am particularly struck by her ability to bring what seemed like an abstract concept to reality and practicality to make a difference in my health and well being in such a positive manner.   She is a caring, encouraging and motivating teacher. 

I have recommended the Alexander Technique and Laurel Podulke in particular to a number of people, including my sister. I would highly recommend it to anyone to improve overall well being  through movement, balance and posture."

"Laurel's enthusiasm for the Alexander Technique makes my lessons easy and enjoyable. Often, I leave with an elevated sense of ease, poise and a renewed inner sense that I have the ability to thrive despite any challenge life may offer. She is particularly gifted in finding language that is congruent with the Alexander Technique."

"I have recently started a running program. Laurel and the Alexander Technique have helped me tremendously in improving and maintaining my form. She has taught me to pay attention to my body in a way that I feel will help me prevent injuries in the future. I am so impressed with how quickly and easily she was able to look at the way that I run and give me useful feedback that I can use while in the act of running. She communicates the Alexander Technique so clearly both verbally and through the placement of her hands. Her subtle directions are immediately understood in my body. I now feel a stronger sense of alignment while I am running and if I feel a twinge in a joint or a muscle, I recognize it as something that can be addressed with awareness and redirection. "
