once or twice a month, one of us writes something. about the practice, the room, the cues we use and don’t. about why a class works the way it does. nobody is paid for these. we publish them when they’re ready.
every body that walks in carries a different velocity. the slowest first class is rarely the wrong first class — it is almost always the right one. a note on why we still teach arriving the way we did the day we opened.
what continuous flow does to the room, and why too many transitions become punctuation. notes on building moving sequences after seven years of teaching.
an honest look at instructor language. when do we cue from the spine? when from the breath? when do we stop talking entirely?
why we built resting into the schedule and why it has more demand than we expected. a piece on the difference between restoration and avoidance.
how to teach alignment without making the room feel surveilled. notes on language, on touch, and on what to do when a student's body asks for something different than the cue.
a brief note on what this class has become. a thank-you to its regulars. and an admission that we'll always keep two seats open for new students.
