Students perform very simple tasks per the teachers instructions. Unlike many calisthenics classes, movements may be very little and can done by all different levels of fitness. The objective is to connect the minds and the body by noticing the body movements.

The second type is called the functional integration. This can be private lessons where the teacher makes the student body moves. This method is often used to help people overcome certain motion, which could result from an injury that happened in the past. The movements are subtle, but can be meant to teach the person how to easily.
