I have been taking lessons for about three months,these last few days, as I like on the floor releasing my neck, etc., I have begun to shake violently, what SEEMS like tension discharging, but I don't really know. So my experiment has been to just let it happen, and the shaking which started in my legs now happens in my hips, upper back and sometimes all together, It's quite bizarre and I just want to know if anyone has experienced anything similar or has some advice until I see my teaecher next week? Meanwhile, I look like I am getting shock treatment.
My thighs used to tremble whilst my teacher had me on the table, she made very subtle "hand" suggestions and my knees responded by a combination of resistance and trembling.
She asked why my legs trembled and I said something that indicated that my level of control of my legs was simply too crude to follow her subtle movements and suggestions.( People sometimes show a similar thing when they try and thread a needle but feel they lack the fine level of precision and control required, it can feel quite frustrating).
My teacher then asked me why was I trying to control my legs when she had asked me to leave them alone and not to help her !!!!!
It took an instant to absorb this information but actually a little while to put it into practise, when I did the trembling stopped.
Your reply reminded me of something that I do. I'm not sure whether this is related to Tony's situation, but I think it's related to my other trembling (See below). I'll put it out there anyway: Whenever someone touches me, I have some sort startle response, more than most people seem to have.

I used to feel a lesser version of the same thing, and just last week started having a stronger shaking than ever before. I'm not sure whether it's so bad as yours, but maybe it just feels less extreme to me because I'm used to it. I've noticed that it occurs more when I'm cold (at least); probably it's related to stress somehow. (Actually, I think pretty much everything is.) I'm interested to learn what your teacher says about it.
By the way, I've been taking lessons for about six months.

The shaking is quite common. I've had it. I think it's probably to do with you letting go of a habit that's been "in charge" for a long time. For a short while there are two habits trying to control the same part of you, and that can result in shaking.
My opinion only. If you're worried, I think it would be fine to call your teacher between lessons.
