Where should I be feeling this ?

What do your workouts feel like?

As a teacher who still takes regular classes, one of the things I value most is handing over the responsibility of looking to another teacher I trust.

For that hour, I don't have to search for the thread. Someone else holds it. They guide me, keep me focused on the theme of the class, and help me discover what my body needs from that day's practice, out of this incredible repertoire of exercises.

Don't you love that?

Don't you love being lulled into movement, then being asked to pause: not to interrupt the flow, but to look more deeply, connect more strongly, and find something you might otherwise have missed?

But what happens when you move on your own?

What's your inner narrative?

Does an exercise feel different from one day to the next? And if it does, do you make space for that? Do you acknowledge those differences and adjust your cues accordingly?

If you zoom out ..

Looking at your movement from a bird's-eye view, what are the cues you've collected over the years that consistently work for you? The ones you return to because they unlock something in your body.

Can each exercise have its own identity card? A collection of sensations, images, connections and intentions that make that exercise what it is in your body.

And then...

Do you ever challenge that identity?

I think this is one of the most important things, especially as teachers: staying open-minded. Not arriving with a predetermined feeling to recreate. Not memorising a sensation and chasing it every time, but letting the class reveal itself.

Letting today's body teach today's lesson.

I love those moments when I think I've found the feeling, only to lose it a few weeks later. Because losing it often means I've found something deeper. It reminds me that movement isn't fixed, that my understanding can keep evolving, and that the possibilities are endless.
