Level Up: Using Touch

While tactile cueing — the use of touch — is an often underutilized resource, it has the potential to be a highly potent tool in our kit. In this 4 hour in-studio workshop, re:form shares strategies for using our sense of touch with intelligence and respect for our student’s autonomy.

Level Up: Using Language

One of our most effective resources as teachers is language. Effectively communicating the mechanics or quality of a movement can facilitate a student’s connection to their movement practice in new and exciting ways, while thoughtless language can have the exact opposite effect, excluding students and undermining their relationship to their practice. We believe that language matters, and that students should expect a higher level of commitment from their movement instructors to precision, anatomical accuracy, and respect.
