If you have poor bodily awareness, how can you “tell” if you are really performing the micromovement?

You are performing micromovements as long as you’re intentionally trying to perform them. The effect (how much you can actually control the muscles or sense the position) will vary. Your ability to sense, control, and adapt improves with practice.
An additional layer of complexity is simultaneity. While you focus on one micromovement, it’s easy to forget about all the other ones you already started. The ability to perform micromovements simultaneously also improves over time, and there’s usually a clear moment when it just clicks and suddenly becomes easy, like learning to juggle.
But don’t overthink it at this early stage. We’ll spend a great deal of time working on micromovements during the in-person sessions!

The only thing I’d add to @asia “s comment is around the framing of “poor body awareness.” We always like to think of it as low body awareness, or more precisely, the level of body awareness one is actually at right now. This presupposes that even when awareness feels low, it’s still a specific level of awareness—a starting point.
We’re working toward higher resolution around how to sense signals from your body, and how you sense your body in space—leading to awareness-based outcomes.
