The Art of Teaching
Finding balance as instructors (and as humans!) is an ongoing journey. Inspired by Genevieve Bedard’s Teacher’s Corner, here are a few tips on finding balance in your body and your life as 2024 begins.
– Plan Your Year – plan vacation time first, then your class schedule
– Be Authentic – draw students in with your true teaching and clothing styles
– Respect Your Limits – for your voice, your body, and your mind
Visit Genevieve’s Teacher’s Corner (linked above) for more details and the rest of her tips. Not a French-speaker? We have added a summary to the comment section so you can read along!
Health & Wellness
What’s on your winter reading list? This month we are sharing an interesting health & wellness article – How “Fascia Foods” Can Decrease Pain and Help You Feel Your Best. As Essentrics instructors, we know that slow, gentle, full-body movement plays a vital role in keeping our fascia healthy. Similarly, the way we nourish our bodies with food affects our fascia; an excerpt from the article explains: “Proper nutrients are the basis for building and protecting your fascia. This includes a balanced diet of healthy fats, minerals/vitamins, amino acids, high fiber, and collagen. …we start to lose collagen as we age, and collagen is a protein. Fascia foods are all about ‘feeding’ our tissues. It’s also about longevity and how to prevent a lot of these things where our bodies break down with joint health.”
Hope you enjoy this “fascia-nating” read!
