Release Technique would more accurately be described as an anti-technique, as the fundamental principle of it, is to use the body's natural channels of moving and functioning to access dance movement - as opposed to other formal dance techniques that encourage some degree, at least, of distortion of the body's natural alignments or 'normal' mechanics.

Release Technique focuses on a lack of tension, and utilises breath and momentum to facilitate movement, rather than brute force or other artificial techniques.
