"Singing feels more enjoyable and effortless!"
"I've been experimenting with releasing back tension and the techniques I learned in our lessons and I'm finding that my voice resonates and vibrates a lot fuller (especially in the lower range where I've been practicing) when my body is free enough to vibrate. Singing also feels more enjoyable and effortless when all the techniques line up in sync. :)"

 Ronit Corry, Alexander Technique for Animals
Ronit uses Alexander Technique skills to work with animals. She influences the noisier nervous system of the animal with her quieter nervous system. Animals react 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. "I was blown away"
"I first took a class with Ronit a couple of years ago, and I was blown away by the depth and usefulness of what I learned in just a couple of hours."

"Ronit's work is exceptional, go for it!"
"I have some medical history, and good posture has been a challenge. Ronit did a free Alexander technique class at 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!"

"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., Goleta, CA
