Testimonials


“I’ve been teaching movement for 20 years. Yet Elaine’s understanding of the body is so deep, so subtle, that one simple instruction from her opens up entirely new worlds for me and my students.”

—Lori Saltzman, Moving Center School



“As soon as I started work with Elaine I felt immediate, dramatic, and positive postural improvement.”

—John Mini, Acupuncturist


Elaine Belle is a gifted Alexander teacher and bodyworker. I have had sessions with her for ten years, and my usage keeps improving. This week’s lesson was about the tilt of my lower back while using my upper back and arms. The habit of contracting my shoulders and neck is unwinding while my low back is becoming stronger. I have more fun in my body now. What a gift!

—Pamela
