AT Motion Alexander Technique with Belinda Mello - New York, New York

Courtney W.

I've done many years of various acting training and I must say, this class sits at the very top of my list of the necessary tools that actors need. Belinda's knowledge and expertise with the Alexander Technique and overall the connection between the body and the words we get to live out on stage/in front of the camera has never been clearer to me than from the revelations I've had from taking her class. She listens, to both your questions and the physicality of your space, and does an excellent job of explaining what doesn't always come naturally for the actor. Even if you're not an actor, I would say this class is absolutely necessary - from being connected with breathwork and just how your body moves/operates in your day-to-day. I highly recommend Belinda's class!

Working with Belinda has completely revolutionized my understanding of stage presence and energy. Her classes provide concrete, action-oriented tools that immediately produce results. The sound of my own voice is now much easier for me (and my students, I'm sure) to listen to, especially now that my work has transitioned online. Above all, I highly recommend taking any opportunity to seek out individual coaching from Belinda.

My experience with Belinda has been incredible! She has helped me in so many ways to understand, feel, and experience new and exciting things with my body. I learn something from her every time I see her! She is so positive and always wants the best for you! She cares so much about what you want to get out of her classes. She even has great insight and tips on how to do somethings at home! I would recommend her to anyone!
Thanks for everything Belinda! I know I'll be seeing you soon again!

Belinda is a gift to artists. The qualities you see in her are the ones I associate with the best teachers, you know the ones, those ones who we carry with us for life. She cares, genuinely; and she takes the time and pays attention in a specific way in order to adapt to each of us as her students on a deeply personal level. Her passion and her curiosity and just pure love she has for artists, for art in general, and for the growth of our artistry in the classroom is infectious and inspiring--you could say that she embodies it like she wants us to embody our expression through our work in Alexander. She's also just a lot of fun to learn from, we have a great time in there!

Belinda helps you find the ability to heal yourself. She is encouraging. engaging, and enthusiastic. The environment is calm and relaxing.

I came to Belinda with back and neck issues and because she helped me realize that I have the power to make myself feel better, I feel like a new man. For someone looking for more than just an alternative to more traditional forms of physical healthcare, this is a great place to start.

I recommend spending time with Belinda and at her studio and studying Alexander Technique! My lessons with Belinda in NYC have meant the world to me in any work place due to an increased ability to live and move with ease. Knowledge is power when it comes to the use your physical instrument (as an actor); and your body as a human being in any setting. Sending my love and looking forward to more Alexander Technique!

Belinda intuitively adapts to her students. She started out with me - a complete Alexander novice, by emphasizing how
breath, support, mobility and volume are intertwined so I would become more conscious of each. She also gives her students specific and concrete tools to address their needs. The simple yet powerful primary curve exercise helps me a lot to ground myself before a scene or an audition - I just breathe more easily afterwards. I highly recommended her for both private sessions and her on-going class.
