Well it’s been ages since I last wrote a post… for the last 3 months I’ve been refitting my bathroom, and would never have believed how time consuming tiling the entire room would be – so that’s why people just tile a bit around the bath – you live and learn 
For the first couple of months I was doing that 40+ hours a week, plus full time work, so didn’t really have any time for the technique. Initially I noticed a few bad habits such as really tensing my hamstrings while bending down, and seemed to be able to reduce that once I’d noticed it.
After a couple of months I had a week’s holiday in the sun and then went back to lying semi-supine for a n hour every day for a couple of weeks, and really noticed I could release a lot of tension. If you haven’t done it for a while it seems to be easier to release that way… it also goes to show how tension builds up unconsciously even if you’re aware that you might be doing it.
Might have another lesson soon, I found in the last lessson I had having the teacher point out at the point when you start doing something wrong was really useful, I guess that’s the benefit of the teacher…
Anyway, will have a think and write another post soon. Going to work some more with the stuff on http://posturereleaseimagery.org, I’ve found over the last couple of days that the image of separate segments of the body to be quite helpful in getting higher quality movement…
