The Aston Paradigm is an evolution of realizations by Judith Aston about the nature of human existence. It includes perceptions about our bodies' natural form and function, our processes of learning and self expression, and our interaction with the physical properties of the planet and our environment. Key to the paradigm is the recognition that the human body is an asymmetrical structure, that its motion and form take on three-dimensional asymmetrical spiral patterns and that each human body is unique.

Ergonomics:
this aspect of Aston-Patterning® is designed to help clients examine environmental factors (seating conditions, shoes, etc.) that may be compromising body structure and usage. Once these factors have been identified, the practitioner can suggest ways of either changing body usage to improve the situation and/or modifying objects to make them more "body-friendly". The Aston-Line® offers ready-made products to modify a wide variety of seating.
