What’s the Best Way to Teach Yoga? Visual, Verbal, & Kinesthetic Cueing
Manage episode 328734944 series 2994713
Yoga teacher Jenni Rawlings and Exercise Science professor Travis Pollen discuss verbal, visual, and kinesthetic cueing in yoga and movement teaching. Using the tool of movement science, they examine what scientific evidence suggests about how these various teaching tools can best be utilized in a yoga/movement setting to optimize learning.
Points of discussion include:
- Is it true that there are 3 types of learners: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic? Or is this a neuromyth?
- Is teaching yoga or movement without demonstrating (or minimizing demonstrating) a superior method?
- Is there a difference in attitudes about verbal cueing vs. physical demonstrating in the yoga world vs. the strength and conditioning world?
- What are mirror neurons?
- What does observational motor learning research suggest about the value of physical demonstrations?
- Is sensory information processed in the brain in an isolated or integrated manner?
- What are some common examples of visual, auditory, and kinesthetic modes of teaching we might see in classroom settings and yoga/movement settings?
- …And much more!
Enjoy this engaging and eye-opening discussion for yoga, movement, and fitness geeks!
