from The Joanne Avison Podcast · host Joanne Avison
This episode is inspired by important questions we’re very often asked by movement teachers about cueing and language.So... What exactly do we all mean by the word Stretch? Or Stabilise? Or Strengthen? Or Stiffen? Is Stress always a bad thing, or can it actually be a good thing sometimes? We explore each word and its implications, as well as how we can use them wisely….or not so wisely!!Again and again, we hear these 5 ‘S words’ come up, regardless of the particular modality a teacher is using, whether it is Pilates, or Yoga or 5 Rhythms, or Dance or Personal Training or Martial Arts - whatever you may teach. It’s crucial to consider these words carefully in order to enhance how the practice, whatever it is, makes sense to the person you are teaching. And of course, Cueing, Seeing, and Guiding clients well requires us to use a language THEY understand….this is not so much a formula as a discussion about the ingredients!!Hopefully there’s some important food for thought here for you, to enhance the delicious movements you already create for the people you work with…Enjoy!MORE INFOVisit https://myofascialmagic.com/homeFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/myofascial_magicGET IN TOUCHEmail us on [email protected] or DM us on InstagramYOU CAN ALSO WATCH THIS EPISODE ON THE JOANNE AVISON YOUTUBE CHANNEL!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFz7SM_4q7tQpdgEtjooAQgPodcast and video produced and edited by Megan Bay Dorman SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTERSimply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective’ and pop in your details.
