Coaching Mat

Last night I was doing an intermediate class, headed towards doing a few of the intermediate exercises and pressing the flow. One student lamented that we hadn't done Jackknife yet. And then she mentioned other exercises that she would hate to leave out.

So I shifted what I intended to do, and worked on execution rather than flow. Everything went grand.

Afterwards, another student said she hadn't gotten all the names yet, and she was still working on just learning the exercises.

What I learned was, that it's ok to take your time learning and doing the exercises just for their own sake. The flow can come later.

Yes, that is good advice. Teaching is a give and take. Who gives and who takes can change.
