One-on-one lessons where the fully clothed student lies on a table, similar to a massage table. The practitioner uses gentle touch to help the person feel their internal habits, release excess effort, and find internal connections that facilitate easier movement.

Taught in a group setting, students follow the verbal instructions of the teacher. ATMs help you feel relationships in your body and facilitate better, easier use of yourself. Classes are often taught lying on the floor, and sometimes sitting or standing.
