LESSONS
WHAT DOES A TEACHER DO?
During the lesson your teacher will be observing your posture and movement patterns. He will also supplement the visual information in a very important way by using his hands, gently placing them on your neck, shoulders, back and so on. The teacher is using his hands in order to get more refined information about your patterns of breathing and moving.
To help him with this, he will probably ask you to perform some simple movements - perhaps walking, or standing up or sitting down in a chair - while his hands are kept in easy contact with your body.
At the same time that the teacher's hands are gathering information, they will also be conveying information to you. The teacher's hands will gently guide your body to encourage a release of restrictive muscular tension.
HOW LONG ARE LESSONS & HOW MANY WILL I NEED?
A lesson usually lasts about fifty minutes. It will probably take a few lessons for you and your teacher to get an idea of how quickly you will make progress. As with learning other new skills, a lot depends on how far you want to take it. The majority of students come for a few months, taking between twenty and forty lessons during that period and then, perhaps, come back for refresher lessons, or groups of lessons, from time to time.
​
At the start, pupils are usually urged to come for lessons fairly frequently, perhaps two or three times a week if that's at all possible. This is because the new approach to movement, and to thinking about movement, which they are learning, is a bit unfamiliar at first and may need a little extra help to become established. Later on in the process, pupils often find they can continue to progress quite well with lessons spaced a week or more apart.
