Whether we’re working with ATM® lessons, FI® lessons, or a blend of the two, we have the greatest ability to connect with a client and make a difference to them when the lesson addresses their unique needs.
Skills addressed in the five online sessions include:
Interviewing your student
Observing movement, both in person and online
Transitioning into the lesson: Choosing the best material
Adapting to changing circumstances during the lesson
Concluding the lesson to consolidate learning
Individualizing Lessons: Focus on ATM sessions is presented as a series. No partial registration will be considered. On the whole, live participation is required. That said, we know life can be bumpy. Recordings will be provided for those who miss a session. We will recommend practice (like, homework) between sessions.
