Private Lessons and Workshops
PRIVATE LESSONS
Individual lessons are the ideal way to learn about habits that cause tension, stiffness and pain. Weekly reinforcement is the best way to change ingrained ways, cultivated over many years. During an individual lesson, we look at how sitting, standing, reaching, walking, lifting, and bending can be easier and lighter. There are no exercises; rather the new, more balanced way becomes part of you as old habits are replaced by better ways of moving. Part of each lesson you lie down, fully clothed, on a padded table. You lay with your head supported and your knees bent. Lying down takes full advantage of gravity, the teacher's guidance, and is very relaxing.
Learning these new ways of thinking and moving vary greatly in length from a few weeks to several months, depending on the force and length of one's habits and other factors. Most people learn incrementally as they continue each week. They notice less pain and greater ease as the process continues. The student decides when to stop lessons, usually when the stiffness or pain abates.
