 Ronit Corry, Alexander Technique for Animals
Ronit uses her skills with The Alexander Technique to work with animals. She influences the noisy nervous system of the animal with her quieter nervous system. Animals respond particularly well as they do not think, but simply respond.
Ronit has helped nervous and scared animals to calm down and stiff elderly animals in pain, especially hip pain, to move more freely, looking and acting younger. 
"Initially I came to be able to play piano without my shoulders and arms hurting. But it's not just for my piano playing, it's for my whole well-being!"

With Dog
The Alexander Technique Applied to Animals
"My dog Lilly had a pretty dramatic change after your work with her. Her tail usually hangs tight to her body then curves to her left like a letter "J". Today is the first time I ever remember her moving with her tail up off her body and in alignment with spine out to the tip, swinging naturally side to side. I believe we are on the right track. Thank you Ronit!" Maggie, La Conchita, CA |
"Ronit's work is exceptional, go for it!"
"I've got some medical history, and good posture has been a challenge. Ronit did a free Alexander technique class as a local gym many years ago, and I remember how I felt like I was almost floating after the work. It left a good impression, but alas, time has passed. Now, after my medical challenges, I went to her, and she did a lot of things that I wasn't expecting, releasing old stresses and bad habits from trying too hard in the wrong way. After some hands on work, we did some walking exercises, and the feeling like I was under sail returned, and it seems to be taking. Just one session! I'll definitely do more... Ronit's work is exceptional, go for it!" Da'oud T., Santa Barbara, CA |
"Thank you Alexander and thank you Ronit."
"The Alexander Technique is absolutely the best. And, Ronit Corry is a fabulous teacher of the technique. She is sensitive, subtle, intuitive and, without a doubt, an expert of the highest quality. For more than twenty years Ronit has been my Alexander teacher and has helped me in so many ways. I stand straighter, move more fluidly, have better energy and I am ever so grateful. If you are or can bring yourself to be a patient person in our overly-speeded world, Ronit and the Alexander Technique can the best and most empowering gift you could ever give yourself. This may sound like a rave review, when actually and blessedly it is my own experience. I am on my way to Ronit for another special and profound lesson right now. Thank you Alexander and thank you Ronit." Steven E., Santa Barbara, CA |
