What to expect in a lesson

Attend the lesson in loose, comfortable clothing.  We see ourselves as teachers (as opposed to therapists) who can help others to improve their sense of well-being by re-educating the way they use their bodies.  You will be asked about any specific health problems you may have.  The lesson will start with your teacher looking at how you stand and move.

 

         

A combination of gentle hand movements and spoken instructions help the client to release inappropriate tensions and encourage the natural reflexes to work more effectively.  This allows the client’s body to become better aligned and balanced. 

 

The role of a teacher is to empower the client to become aware of their own patterns of interference.  You will learn simple messages (‘directions’) to enable your body to help the natural mechanisms to function more freely.  Your teacher will work with you to re-educate your way of standing, walking, sitting, breathing and picking up objects.  As well as being educational, lessons should be fun and inspiring.
