Traditionally lessons are
taught one on one. The teacher works with the student to observe
neuro-muscular
habits in simple movements such as sitting, standing and walking.
As the students skill level increases in applying the principals,
other activities relevant to the students life are introduced.
Table
work is also part of each lesson.
This is something that students can learn to do for themselves between
lessons. It is deeply relaxing and assists in reorganizing the bodies
basic
postural mechanisms by increasing the habitual resting length of
postural
muscle groups.
The
lesson is both stimulating and
relaxing. A process of growth and learning is stimulated at both the
mental
and physical levels and tension and stress patterns, often habituated
and
below our conscious awareness, are released leading to a feeling of
well
being and often, an alleviation of any painful symptoms.
The
standard lesson time is 50 minutes
with bookings on the hour. Variations can be negotiated for couples,
parents
with children, pensioners or anyone whose needs are different.
