We recorded this one live with our 300-hour trainees right after a full week of deep diving into anatomy, and it had us thinking:
“Okay… I know stuff now… so how do I actually make my teaching better?”
In this episode, we unpack the gap between knowing anatomy and being able to teach a strong, effective class.
We talk about:
– why over-cueing and rigidity often come from too much anatomy focus
– the trap of trying to prove you know what you’re talking about
– when anatomy actually matters (and when you can let it go)
– how to use your knowledge within “peak pose” classes
– how to translate what you know into a clear, intelligent class
Then we get into what it actually looks like to use anatomy well—how it informs your sequencing, supports your intention, and creates a strong through-line from start to finish.
Lots of real examples, plenty of sequencing talk, and some really great questions from the room.
