Testimonials
Kelly Philip Kinkle
I’m pleased to say my condition has improved considerably.
- “I’ve suffered chronic pain due to a herniated disk in my lower back for more than one year. I went to a chiropractor as well as an orthopedist, but still never really got rid of the pain. Finally, I grew tired of taking so much prescribed medicine and physical therapy, and started looking for an alternative.
- Online research led me to The Alexander Technique, so I decided to visit Aoki-san’s studio for a trial lesson. I was very impressed with how he explained that by altering my posture, movements, and speech to more natural positions, I could ease or eventually eliminate my back pain.
- After finishing the 12 lesson course, I’m pleased to say my condition has improved considerably. What I liked most is how Aoki-san would listen to what had been troubling me since the previous lesson, then spend that class in a very practical way, finding solutions to what had triggered painful spasms. I learned how to correctly carry and use my body during everyday tasks, such as: sitting in a chair or on the floor, walking (sometimes with a backpack or baggage), standing on the subway, riding a bicycle, typing on a keyboard, driving a car…even speaking!
- I can highly recommend MIWAZA Lesson to anyone who suffers from chronic aches and pains.”

Paul’s teaching methods are remarkably simple, clear and effective.
- “Paul’s teaching methods are remarkably simple, clear and effective. I enjoyed how he describes how we can use our support, the support structures of our bodies in a more advantageous way, than we do usually do in our familiar patterns. I found myself connecting with the floor through my feet. This is the foundation for the rest of my body. He illustrated clearly that I am a 3 dimensional expanding and contracting structure, and that if I hold tension, especially in my abdominal muscles, this interferes with my breathing in a very obvious way. I experienced this, in a little walking exercise and found that I was able to release a sense of contraction in my abdominal muscles and my breathe deepened. It felt great. I was also able to sense how if I contracted in the abdomen, this would lead to a downward contraction in my torso and pull my head back and down. This way of working indirectly, through the abdominal muscles to release my neck was new to me.
- Paul also observed that I habitually expend excess energy and undermine my support in my habitual walk. He showed me how I was bending my knees on the heel strike and the flat foot phase of my walk. I learned that by having my knees engages a more extended tone during these phases led me to having more contact with the floor, right up through my entire structure and it was also more mechanically advantageous.
- All of the above in about 20 minutes.
- I think Paul has a profound understanding of how the body works as a whole and a great talent in the field of Alexander technique teaching. It is rare to come across someone who can articulate ideas so clearly that learning is quick and effortless. I think he has the potential to help many, many people with posture, mechanical back pain issues, or anyone who feels that they are holding bodily tension. I would highly recommend him as a teacher.”
