Your Assignment:

Things to Focus On

1.) Focus on how the breath connects to the client’s core musculature. Without this key awareness of the breath, it can make these structures hard to understand, and even harder to feel.
2.) Practice pillowing up your client to set them up for success. Chances are they will not walk in off the street with perfect alignment. When you help to set them into good posture and ease within the body, activating the proper musculature become easier.
3.) Learn to switch gears! There is a ton of information in this work, so if you sense your client is getting frustrated or not understanding, try something different. You can always move to another exercise working on the same theme. This change of scenery for you and the client could be just what the doctor ordered, and will shed new light onto what was previously confusing.

1 Personal Practice Hour:

Think about the Core Activation concepts we’ve focused on in the last Observation Video and Session Video as well as the Things to Focus On above. Do a practice hour with these concepts in mind.

2 Student Teaching Hours:

Now, plan two teaching sessions based on these same concepts. Teach these sessions to a friend or family member. Incorporate some of the verbal and hands-on cueing you’ve seen in the videos. Try to make them your own.

Always treat these Teaching Hours the same as if you were in a studio teaching a paying client.
