During a lesson the teacher guides the student – with hands and verbal feedback – on a journey of observation and increased awareness of their use and functioning. The student practices familiar movement activities, as simple as sitting, standing and walking.

After the student absorbs the principles of the Technique, they can apply them to any activity, from singing to playing an instrument, from using a computer to cooking, and so on.

A typical lesson lasts 45 minutes to one hour, exploring movement through specific procedures, and usually usually ends with the restorative and calming experience of the table work.

The lessons help us hone three important skills:

Awareness - Sensory appreciation
Recognition of our unconscious process, awareness of habitual patterns of use

A Pause before Action (Inhibition)
Allowing something new and authentic to arise; the key to preventing automatic,
undesirable habits and behavior; reestablishing a complete responsibility for oneself

Direction
The thinking process that enables the student to orient their body in space as they move.
Changing the concept of "position." Find the fluidity of movement the human body was
designed for.
