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. Most people learn incrementally as they continue each week. They notice less pain and greater ease as the process continues. You decide when to stop lessons.
Many students decide to stop when the pain abates and they resume normal activities.
Please inquire about sliding scale if you need it. I teach both in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the Grass Valley area. Some people like the group setting because they get to meet me in a relaxed, fun environment while learning about the Technique. The group workshops have a maximum attendance of 6 people. I offer both single event workshops and three-session workshops in both the Bay Area and Grass Valley locations.
