Show Notes:
Here are the two articles I referenced: 

1. Improving Students’ Learning With Effective Learning Techniques: Promising Directions From Cognitive and Educational Psychology
2. The ceramics story about people tasked with making 100 pots versus the group tasked with making one pot is from David Bayles and Ted Orland's book: Art & Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking. It's not a study, but it does resonate with how we develop as Pilates teachers.
