In this episode I'm reading from a piece I wrote in 2019. It's about shattering some of the myths and misconceptions about intuition so it can become as normal to you and breathing in and out. If you've been listening to this podcast, you're probably starting to get it by now that I really, really, really want you to have a strong connection to your intuition. Basically, that means I will do anything legal to help make that possible. So let's shine some daylight on one of the biggest myths and misconceptions about intuition: that it is rare.And of the things that you are going to have to accept if you want to have a great relationship with your intuition is that you are a product of the culture which seeks to marginalize it. This means if we're lucky enough to experience our intuition at all, by the time we realize what's happening our intuition has had to wade through layers and layers of muck just to get our attention.Join us as we go deep into how to do that dive!Thank you as always to Coby the wizardess cobygray@gmail.com my socials: IGFBtranscript of this piece on my websiteThanks for listening!
When we talk about what it means to "engage" in yoga class, what do we actually mean? Do our students understand? How do we want them to be moving? And is engagement something we should all be teaching? Today, we explore the concept of engagement and the nuances of teaching it, including the importance of the language we choose, the assumptions we make, and some of the influences of our personal experiences and learning on our teaching and cueing.

Welcome to another episode of The Pilates Lounge, hosted by Katie Crane! This week, we're diving into a powerful and often overlooked topic: how the words we use as instructors can either heal or harm. Katie unpacks the profound impact of language in the Pilates space —especially when it comes to trauma-informed teaching. From shocking examples of inappropriate cueing to practical tips on positive instruction, this episode is a must-listen for any instructor who wants to create a safe, empowering space for their clients. What You'll Learn in Today's Episode The Hidden Harm in Everyday Cues Psychological Insights That Matter Trauma-Informed & Empowering Cueing Techniques Katie's Perspective on Instructor Responsibility Takeaway from the Episode Words aren't just instructions—they're experiences. As instructors, we have the opportunity (and responsibility) to choose language that heals, empowers, and reconnects clients to their bodies. Your words matter more than you think.
Our big human brains have evolved to become very efficient predicting machines (Hawkins, 2004). They are constantly accessing multiple data sources in order to give us a sense of what will happen next. Most of this is done at levels below our conscious awareness. For example, baseball players are able to run to the right spot to catch balls in the outfield because they can predict where it's going to come down. Their big human brains instantly process a variety of information related to the sound of the bat hitting the ball as well as the height, speed, and angle of trajectory. The same prediction process is used in language comprehension and reading (Gavard & Ziegler, 2022; Lupyan & Clark). Here, our prediction machine uses semantic, syntactic, and phonological information to make micro-predictions about words and meaning during the process of reading (Goodman, 1967; Laroche & Decon, 2019). Very much like baseball players catching pop flies, this enables us to efficiently and effectively create meaning with the print before us.

For episode 206 of De Facto Leaders, I share a Q & A session where I discuss Reading Recovery and cueing strategies for decoding, and I make some recommendations for additional information that will give you more information on this topic.I also share what you can do if you're in a district that uses Fountas and Pinnell reading levels, which often don't give detailed or consistent information about a kid's language skills. You'll also hear commentary on the Matthew Effect and vocabulary development. Finally, I discuss the role of executive dysfunction and mental health, a guide I created that dives into this topic further, and what clinicians can do to support executive functioning in schools.This Q & A session was done in the member's group for Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that helps SLPs build a system for language therapy.

Cueing is a hot topic at the moment, but today's guest, Lena Kalchenko, has been talking about this for a long time now. She focused on simplicity and connection in cueing over precise alignment, and she has good reason for doing so. At the core of Lena's philosophy is an internalized experience and self-discovery We cover: Why removing complexity from cueing enhances accessibility Do you need to make every class as accessible as you can? Why students and teachers benefit from simple cues rather than focused alignment. AND MORE! I love Lena's matter-of-fact, perspective way of discussing cueing and how ultimately it's all about the expression of movement, connection and play rather than an overly serious aligned, "perfect" practice.

In this episode of the Pacey Performance Podcast, Rob speaks to Anthony Donskov about reflexive eccentrics. Reflexive eccentric training is gaining recognition for its role in improving athletic performance and reducing injury risk. In this episode, Anthony breaks down the principles, programming, and practical applications of this training method, emphasizing the importance of stiffness, speed, and strategic progressions in athlete development. Anthony discusses how reflexive eccentrics involve rapid eccentric contractions that enhance force absorption and control. This method is especially relevant for high-level athletes, as it trains deceleration, stability, and explosive reacceleration—all key for sports like hockey. He highlights the importance of clear external cues, such as “grabbing the floor” or “being stiff,” to help athletes optimize landing mechanics and movement efficiency. The conversation also covers programming considerations, including off-season vs. in-season adaptations, how to balance heavy lifting with reflexive movements, and reducing muscle soreness while maximizing explosiveness. Anthony outlines a three-day cycle of training that incorporates heavy lifts, submaximal speed work, and strategic plyometrics. He stresses the need for individualized assessments, using player cards and radar graphs to track progress and adjust training accordingly. Despite the challenges in measuring reflexive eccentric adaptations, improvements in jump height, net impulse, and rate of force development suggest their effectiveness. He concludes by emphasizing the importance of structured strength, recovery, and flexibility in athlete programming, advocating for tissue remodeling and long-duration isometrics to reduce stiffness and chronic injury risk. This episode is packed with practical insights for coaches and practitioners looking to integrate reflexive eccentrics into their performance programs. Main talking points: • Reflexive eccentrics enhance speed, stiffness, and reacceleration • Rapid eccentric contractions improve force absorption and control • Training should be tailored to athlete experience levels • Clear external cues optimize movement efficiency and stiffness • Off-season training should focus on stiffness and strength • A three-day cycle balances heavy lifts and speed work • Reflexive eccentrics reduce muscle soreness and improve explosiveness • Tissue remodeling and isometrics help prevent chronic injuries

Enjoy this replay of this favorite two-part episode!In part one of my interview with Dr. Edythe Strand. A renowned speech pathologist and former professor at Mayo College, Dr. Strand has led groundbreaking research on developmental, acquired, and progressive apraxia of speech.Dr. Strand explains that apraxia is not a medical diagnosis but a label for a speech-sound disorder impacting the movements required to produce speech. Unlike other speech disorders, apraxia affects programming and planning movements, leading to awkward transitions, distorted sounds, and inconsistency. Therapy focuses on movement, not just sound production. Using Dynamic Temporal and Tactile Cueing (DTTC), clinicians emphasize the physical gestures that create sounds rather than isolated phonemes.Dynamic assessments are crucial for evaluating Apraxia. Dr. Strand's own Dynamic Evaluation of Motor-Speech Skill (DEMS) provides insight into a child's preferred cueing and severity of their disorder. This method contrasts with traditional static assessments, which rely on single responses to stimuli.In part two of this interview, Dr. Strand delves deeper into DTTC, a treatment she developed for children with severe apraxia. Unlike typical therapies, DTTC involves a hierarchy of cues to teach motor speech skills. Dr. Strand highlights the importance of functional, fundamental words in therapy for children with severe Apraxia, particularly those with autism.Dr. Strand's passion for helping children communicate shines through her work, blending research and practice to improve lives.

We talk about how he came to live in Sweden, what happened when he first saw live stand-up comedy in the Liffey, and how a lot of what he has done since has been to impress the ten-year-old lad growing up in Thurles in a very different Ireland to the one we know today.
In today's episode from Big City Readers, I'm diving deep into one of the most debated topics in early literacy: the 3 cueing strategy and how it may be affecting your child's ability to learn to read. If your child is struggling with blending sounds or progressing in reading, it's essential to know whether they've been taught using the right strategies—and if those strategies are being used consistently.We'll explore key reasons why your child might be having a hard time, including: Are they using effective, research-backed reading methods? How does working memory play a role in learning to read? Why following directions is an important step in the process.I'll also explain why the 3 cueing system has been banned in many places and how its reliance on context and guessing can cause issues for children learning to read.Plus, I'll share more about my upcoming workshop for parents, where I'll provide tips, activities, and support to ensure your child is learning to read the right way. And stay tuned as I talk about what I've been reading lately and how it ties into the science of reading.What You'll Learn in This Episode: What is 3 Cueing: An explanation of the 3 cueing system (meaning, structure, and visual cues) and why it's no longer recommended by many experts. Why It's Problematic: The drawbacks of 3 cueing and how it can lead to children guessing words rather than truly decoding them. Working Memory & Reading: How your child's working memory impacts their ability to blend sounds, retain information, and follow directions while reading.

In this episode, I dive into the vital role of face-to-face mentoring in the Pilates industry. I'm concerned about the potential dilution of our practice and the pressing need for exceptional guidance. Through my visits to various Pilates studios, I've noticed troubling trends like incorrect cueing and a lack of understanding of the finer details in movements. It's crucial to honor the traditions of Pilates and maintain high standards in our instruction. I encourage studio owners to take on the role of mentors and create spaces that foster growth, ensuring the future of our industry. Takeaways: Face-to-face mentoring is essential for Pilates instructors to refine their skills and truly grasp complex movements. The Pilates industry is at risk of being watered down, making it all the more important to uphold the standards of high-quality instruction. Incorrect cueing, such as telling clients to draw their belly button to their spine, can negatively impact movement and pelvic floor health. Online certifications should complement face-to-face learning, not replace it. Studio owners have the opportunity to become mentors and create environments that ensure the longevity and integrity of the Pilates industry. Mentoring is more than just a way to pass on knowledge—it's a critical tool for preserving the integrity and depth of the Pilates practice. By stepping up as mentors and fostering face-to-face learning, we can ensure that future generations of instructors uphold the high standards that define our industry.

This episode is inspired by important questions we're very often asked by movement teachers about cueing and language.So... What exactly do we all mean by the word Stretch? Or Stabilise? Or Strengthen? Or Stiffen? Is Stress always a bad thing, or can it actually be a good thing sometimes? We explore each word and its implications, as well as how we can use them wisely….or not so wisely!!Again and again, we hear these 5 ‘S words' come up, regardless of the particular modality a teacher is using, whether it is Pilates, or Yoga or 5 Rhythms, or Dance or Personal Training or Martial Arts - whatever you may teach. It's crucial to consider these words carefully in order to enhance how the practice, whatever it is, makes sense to the person you are teaching. And of course, Cueing, Seeing, and Guiding clients well requires us to use a language THEY understand….this is not so much a formula as a discussion about the ingredients!!Hopefully there's some important food for thought here for you, to enhance the delicious movements you already create for the people you work with…Enjoy!MORE INFOVisit https://myofascialmagic.com/homeFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/myofascial_magicGET IN TOUCHEmail us on info@myofascialmagic.com or DM us on InstagramYOU CAN ALSO WATCH THIS EPISODE ON THE JOANNE AVISON YOUTUBE CHANNEL!https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFz7SM_4q7tQpdgEtjooAQgPodcast and video produced and edited by Megan Bay Dorman SIGN UP TO THE JOANNE AVISON NEWSLETTER Simply scroll down to ‘Join Our Collective' and pop in your details.

In this episode, Katie Crane delves into the essence of effective communication and cueing in Pilates. Katie Crane underscores the importance of comprehending the brain-body synergy for precise cueing. She elaborates on the homunculus concept, illustrating how the brain processes sensory and motor inputs. Fascial lines play a pivotal role in cueing, with cues from feet to head enhancing movement quality. Through diverse Pilates exercise examples, Katie stresses the significance of acknowledging clients' sensory experiences. To enrich clients' exercise execution, it emphasizes the importance of tactile, visual, and auditory cueing in Pilates instruction. It emphasizes the importance of using resonant language and imagery tailored to each client, fostering a welcoming and inclusive learning environment. Key Takeaways: Effective cueing in Pilates requires an understanding of how the brain and body work together. The homunculus is a representation of how the brain processes sensory and motor information. Cueing from the feet to the head can improve movement and engage the entire body. Considering the sensory experience of clients is important in cueing and communication. Tactile cueing plays a significant role in Pilates instruction, but it should be used appropriately and with the client's consent. Cueing the most distal body parts, such as the hands and feet, can help improve overall movement and body alignment. Visual cues, such as using mirrors or props, can enhance the client's spatial understanding and improve their performance. Auditory cues, including tone of voice and music selection, can create a positive and engaging atmosphere in the studio. Using language and imagery that is relatable to the client's interests and experiences can enhance their understanding and motivation. Creating an inclusive and comfortable environment is essential for effective communication and client progress in Pilates. Ready to transform your Pilates teaching with effective cueing techniques?

In this episode, Byron is back to talk about making smooth transitions in yoga sequences, focusing on the importance of breathing and pacing. He explains how techniques like ujjayi breath can help connect movement and breath. Byron suggests that teachers use their voice effectively, starting classes with an introduction to ujjayi breath. While sometimes challenging poses are included, Byron emphasizes the importance of moving smoothly between poses rather than just focusing on hard ones. He gives examples of tricky transitions, stressing the need to stay balanced and coordinated. Byron also talks about the importance of giving clear instructions during transitions to keep students focused. Byron mentions that different teachers have their own way of giving instructions, but using basic steps can help everyone follow along. Overall, the goal is to create a stable and welcoming environment for all students during yoga practice. Finally, Byron explains the different parts of the breathing cycle to help deepen the connection with the practice. Listen to the full episode for more details.

What's the one simple movement that can transform your running form almost overnight? Tune into this episode of the RunRX Podcast and find out!Timestamps of big takeawaysThe One Movement Question (00:00:55 - 00:03:15)[00:25] Coach Caroline asks "what's the one exercise I should do?"[01:26] Coach Valerie says the "ball of foot hop" is the foundation of running biomechanics, but people underestimate how challenging that isTeaching One Running Action [03:15] The RunRX method focuses on teaching the "pull" action when running. It's simple but not easy - requires at least a month of dedicated practice. Trying to speed up process by doing more doesn't work[06:04] When we're teaching the standard of movement in running, we're trying to instill “pose, fall, pull” into you, and the pull is the only real action you have to do.Connecting our Drills to Running [07:09] No one movement can make you stronger. That's why we teach you how to move and work with your whole body[08:18] Some people fear joining our practice because they think they won't be running for a month. That's not true.
