96: The "BEST" way to teach twisting movements!


Listen Later

The "BEST" way to teach twisting movements! 

What kind of rules have you been taught about the safest way to twist? What do you teach your students about the best way to rotate through the spine? Today we are taking a deep dive into these questions and I couldn’t be more excited!

Your fellow teacher and podcast listener Madison Houck joins us today to unpack this conversation, as it was inspired by a really interesting private lesson Madison and I had. 

In this episode you’ll hear:

  • how the spinal vertebrae relate and react to each other 
  • the single good reason to focus twisting movements in the thoracic spine
  • several specific twisting movements to try with your students
  • some ideas for cueing in a specific, but expansive way
  • why brining nuance into movement teaching is so challenging, and so important
