Work with a coach or practitioner long enough to learn something real

Three sessions teaches you nothing. Three months teaches you technique.

One-off sessions are demonstrations. Real coaching is corrections repeated until the pattern changes, which takes weeks.

Budget for a block rather than a taster, and tell the coach the outcome you want rather than asking for a workout.

The goal is to leave able to do it without them.
