So I can teach you exactly where to put your hands, how to stand, the directionality and choreography of it all, but without other elements — you’ll prob still have absolutely no idea how to read and respond to what a student’s body (nervous system /story) is telling you.
This is why I teach energetic anatomy alongside physical anatomy, nervous system literacy & trauma informed containers.
because consent is a bigger than asking “are hands-on assists okay?” before class.
bc we gotta have regulation before expansion.
bc most postures need organization, not depth.
bc the quality of the container matters just as much as the quality of the technique.
In my trainings we ask :
are they bracing?
holding their breath?
feeling seen by your touch or quietly tolerating it?
does their nervous system even have capacity for more input right now?
am I helping energy move through the body or adding another place for it to get stuck?
Did their body actually ask for more depth… or did your ego decide the posture wasn’t finished yet?
Touch is a language & I’d my favorite thing is to help other teachers become fluent
Follow along if that sounds like tea
