The Funny Thing About Yoga

The Art of Cueing 

Episode No. 20

Happy Pride Y’all! Giana and Bradshaw begin this episode with some banter about pride and quickly dive into a discussion on Cueing, which could be expanded on in future episodes. Cueing preferences can be seen as subjective since different students learn differently, and this will inform what time of teacher a certain type of learner is drawn to. With this in mind, Giana and Bradshaw share what has been working for them as teachers and what they prefer as students- from being direct, cueing to what you see, using inclusive language, and teaching to varying levels of students. There is so much to reflect on and digest in this episode and listeners are encourage to take what resonates and leave the rest. Of course they also share silly stories and make you laugh along the way. Please rate, review and subscribe to the podcast AND help share the love by spreading the word ! We appreciate you :)
