What do I wear to a lesson?
Loose comfortable clothing is recommended, but if you are coming from work, you may come as you are.
How many lessons do I need to take to learn this technique?
One or two lessons are recommended to determine
whether this technique would be beneficial to you. A course of several lessons
or classes (six or more) is recommended to get a basic understanding of what is
involved. Some people are satisfied with this amount and can use the principles
on their own in a basic way. Other people study for several months or years.
The length of your study would depend on your learning style, your physical capacities, your needs and your interest.
How often do I have lessons?
Taking a lesson or class
once a week is recommended. However, people who are in chronic pain may benefit from attending twice a week.
How much does it cost?
Lessons are usually $80 per hour and $40 per half hour. Some reduced rates available. See CLASSES & RATES for more details.
Should I take a private or a group lesson?
Some people learn more comfortably in a private
setting when other people are not watching them. You will receive more hands-on
time when you are alone. However, some people learn quite well when they watch
other people and it can be a
lot of fun to share questions and experiences with other people who share your interests. Classes are less expensive.
Is it safe to exercise after a lesson?
Since you will have just experienced something new in
your body which needs to be integrated into your awareness, your body will be a
bit vulnerable for a while. Jano recommends that you do not perform any
strenuous exercise, especially
lifting weights, or moving too fast to pay attention to yourself for a few hours immediately following a lesson.
Will my pain go away?
Some pain is caused by habits of misuse or injuries
that can heal. That pain may be relieved with learning to move differently. That
will depend on your self awareness, your learning style, your age, personal
history and other factors. Some pain is caused by unrelated medical conditions that cannot be addressed by this technique.
What should I bring to a lesson?
You may bring any tools, instruments or exercise equipment that you would like help with using.
