Issue 3: Verbal Cueing
June 2021
Welcome to the third issue of the Aha Atlas Newsletter! This month, we’re talking about verbal cueing. So you’ll know what to say, how much to say, and when you can stop talking. Get sweaty in the mini class with Talese as you listen to her verbal cues. Then join Kai-Ting for some ways to take care of that money-maker voice of yours.
Learn
Let’s explore a teaching concept.
We created a verbal cueing recipe to craft a Pilates session that will leave everyone feeling satisfied. Talese makes it easy as 1, 2, 3 in this video. Bon appetit!

Move
Move with us in this mini-class (10-20 minutes).
Get ready to improve your balance & stability in this mat class. Roll out your mat and keep a hand towel nearby ‘cause it’s about to get sweaty!
To challenge your brain, see if you can recognize the 3 layers of our verbal cueing recipe as Talese guides you through the workout.

As Pilates teachers, we talk a lot. If you’re teaching a full schedule of group classes, that can mean public speaking for 5+ hours a day. So what are we doing to take care of those vocal muscles? Check out this video for 3 fun ways to take care of your voice.
