The Passive Hang - Episode 19 - Thomas Emerson, Praksis, pt 2 -Teaching and the Practitioner

First follow up episode! Received heaps of good feedback from our first episode, and Thomas and I continued our conversation via e-mail, and thought it would be a great idea to discuss some of our questions on the podcast.

 

This episode is one for all the movement practitioners out there who are also coaching, or are looking to coach.

 

The 3 questions we had leading into this were - 

1. “How do you balance consistency of work with variety? … I feel motivated to introduce new movements, new work into the mix. But I'm aware that it's important to keep consistent. Maybe as a coach, I also have to stop my impetus to "move forward" by introducing too much, too quickly?"

 

2.  "How do you approach programming, from a movement perspective? I'm familiar with strength and mobility programming principles, but when considering outside that scope, and considering putting it "altogether" - I'm relatively clueless.”

 

3. “How does one start introducing someone to a behaviour toward an "open practice - where movement practice may not be confined to a structured training session?”

 

We covered a lot of ground and went on a lot of relevant tangents. Tune in to listen.
