Al is one of the best. Not only doe he have a solid knowledge base of Feldenkrais, he has a deep wisdom that comes only from year of practice. He has helped me immensely, and he clearly has a strong love for what he does, which is palpable when he is practicing. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

Working with Al has been my first real experience with the Feldenkrais method and it has been transformative. From the first session, I felt great improvement and relief from pain. While physical therapy and other methods have helped, nothing has come close to the sustained relief and encouragement Ive found with Al and Feldenkrais. Als knowledge, guidance and insight have been remarkable and given me hope for long term healing, to allow my own body to remember how to heal. If you can download some of his audio sessions, too, they are awesome. His voice, centeredness and tempo have a healing effect just listening to them. Al has given me a great gift and I highly recommend him to anyone seeking out a skilled Feldenkrais practitioner.

Al is an incredible Feldenkrais practitioner and teacher. I was amazed how effective the classes were in reducing pain, improving strength and movement. I highly recommend this class for anyone who has had a stroke or as an adjunct for anyone undergoing physical therapy.

This was my first experience with Feldenkrais, Al was sooo informative and made me feel comfortable during the entire lesson. When I got home and walked around I could feel a big difference in the way I felt hard to explain except the word ✨magical ✨ fits perfectly. I felt lighter, focused, happy, relaxed all sorts of positive feelings. I highly recommend, Thank you Al Wadleigh you’re incredible! 😊

Al is kind, gentle, encouraging and his Feldenkrais lessons have improved my posture and greatly decreased the pain in my back. I have tried many other techniques in search of pain relief. Al has made the most long-lasting difference for me. I recommend him very highly both on a one-to-one level and a weekly class he teaches which is invigorating and relaxing at the same time. Al is amazing.

Al Wadleighs private sessions and classes have been a tremendous help to ease my pain. His skillful touch has released deep muscle tension in my ribs, shoulder and along my spine. His classes bring consciousness on how people hold and move their bodies and are so effective that I find myself changing postural habits that create more ease in how I walk, sit and stand. Als services are a rare find come highly recommended!

Al is amazingly good at guiding you into states of ease, clarity, comfort, and freedom of movement that may have been constrained by years of habitual patterns. His methods are therapeutic and effective. You can feel the difference and it feels good.

Al is a Feldenkrais master. His approach is skilled, intuitive, graceful and gentle. The sessions relieved pain and tightness from a difficult shoulder injury when numerous other modalities did not.

Al Wadleigh I want to thank you for the Feldenkrais lesson the other day. I could have acknowledged you the same day; however, I wanted to sit with the experience & mindfully express my thoughts. As we discussed, there was an absolute lightness to being in my body that Ive never felt before (& by never, I mean for as long as I can recall which spans a few decades). This is significant since Ive always related to my spine as the main cable for the nervous system which is dynamic yet, structurally weak. That said, I havent relied on my backbone for anything else which did nothing but put undo stress on the rest of my body & produce a feeling of nothing but heaviness. This is extraordinary as there is a corrolation to my emotional body. I could go further into this & wont other than to say, there are some incredibly exciting insights. So, just .. wow! Whats more, Ive been introduced to Feldenkrais practitioners in the past & for one reason or another, we never aligned; yet, again, I havent observed the appreciation for or the understanding of the method or its evolution in the others as I do in you. Your technique & skillset is the embodiment of Feldenkrais which is truly subtle, non-force ...working with what is & gently influencing synergistic function. I am definitely pleased & equally inspired.

Al Wadleigh is a phenomenal Feldenkrais practitioner. Through his lessons I have experienced a dramatic decrease in chronic pain, greater mobility, and a resiliency which allows for quicker recovery time after injury.

READ THIS REVIEW 1ST!I must tell you a bit about how I came to Al and Feldenkrais. After a bootched hip surgery, 8 months of physical therapy, months of acupuncture, NOTHING had helped me. I asked the acupuncturist what else I might try to help myself. She suggested Al and Feldenkrais Lessons. When I took my 1st lesson with Al, I told him that I knew nothing about Feldenkrais, but that I was desperate and willing to try anything. Because of all the other therapys that I had gone through, I was expecting little to no help. I arrived with a pain level of 10, using a walker. I left on my own two feet, and my pain had diminished to BELOW a level 1. To say that I was surprised would be an understatement! Because of Al’s tremendous skill and expertise “I owe Al my life” ....that is not an overstatement of what his skill as a Feldenkrais pactitioner/teacher has done for me. My pain deminished almost to normal quickly...it took time to learn again almost all of my body’s ablilities in movement. Imagine that you no longer remember how to bend over or get up from a chair or off the ground. That you didn’t know how to move your head from right to left or up and down. I had used my body as a tool for years and really had no idea how limited my movements were. To “rebuild” all of my movement took time and Al’ guidance and knowledge. After every lesson I had new information and abilities. I can do ANYTHING I want now. I could go on and on. I kow that if you are lucky enought to find Al at Longont Feldenkrais, your life will begin again, in ways that you can not imagine.Thank You Al for more than I can say. Miriam HolleyAfterword ( a conclusion)Al moved to Madrid, New Mexico recently, I wondered how I would do without my lessons? Al reassured me that I had learned what I needed to know and how to keep myself fit. I am here to report that he was right. I am doing great. When anyone learns again the movements that might be lost because of injury, time or over use. You can learn those movements again with Feldenkrais lessons. If you are in Madrid New Mexico or near by and need help....please call Al. He can help you be whole again!Al I just wanted you to know I am well.Thank you again for everything you do for others......You are just the greatest!Miriam Holley
