Over the years I have been a diligent Awareness Through Movement (ATM) teacher. Oh my god! I’ve been taching ATM’s for more than a decade now! I got certified to teach group classes in 2010!!!
I taught in many odd places all over the city, taught small and big groups, and sometimes only one or two people if they were willing to try.
I experimented with a variety of formats. I shortened lessons, tied them into others, lengthened them when working with speciallized students. I went online during covid and began merging my different learning strategies together.
You can not teach a lesson unless you get it! I didn’t always get it. But I can’t explain how humbled I am by all the bodies that trusted the process and gave these odd classes of mine a try…now, I can say I get it.
I am indebted to everyone that every attended a class with me. Those that loved my style and learnt from me, those that hated it and got angry with me, the ones that corrected me, the ones that pushed me, the ones that laughed and sniggered, the ones that were in awe of the effect of the lessons.
I am an avid learner. And the more I worked with different people the more I learned about myself. ANd then, as clarity began to be more present in me, I began to see it in other people’s movements.
You teach what you need to learn, they say! ABSOLUTELY!
