The Sensual Body id divided into three parts: Prelude, Solowork, and Partnerwork. Prelude leads you into the practical sections of the book: Solowork, which contains exercises and techniques for you to do alone, and partnerwork, which consists of exercises for two people to do together. Whichever technique you choose to learn it's a good idea to read the introduction and prelude, where the theme of body awareness is introduced and where practical advice is given relevant to al the techniques.
