ATM lessons usually take about 40-60 minutes. Most classes are held comfortably on a mat on the floor. You usually lie on your back, side or stomach, but there are also lessons that you do while sitting and standing on the floor or in a chair.​

Each Feldenkrais ATM (Functional Integration) class offers a coherent set of movements that target a specific function, such as walking, standing, sitting, reaching. These movements come together like a puzzle and affect different parts of the body in a holistic way. The moves you discover in a lesson can sometimes be easy and sometimes more challenging. Whatever the case, the movements are broken down into small, manageable steps and you are guided through these steps, without the pressure to be particularly successful at anything. In fact, you don't even need to do the movements correctly to benefit because the focus of ATM lessons is; "take care of yourself" is the process. Improving your ability to take care of yourself can benefit you in every area of your life.

Another notable feature of the method is that you are not told or shown how to do a move correctly. My role is to verbally guide you through the various steps in a lesson, constantly adapting the instructions. Thus, no praise or correction is given to anyone while ensuring everyone is moving towards the intended progress.Students often tend to close their eyes to better focus on their inner world of sensations and block out visual distractions. That way, they can continue their learning experience at their own pace.
