Hi Sarah, please be aware that we all need to move our laptops etc around when we do "funny" movements (like rolling on one side etc). I haven't been able to fully execute it and to feel the benefit of some of the exercise. Also when the teacher talks a lot, the student is switching off. I missed the flow in the workout. For me it works the best if I can follow instructions without permanently looking at the screen.
Hi Brigit N, Thank you for your message. Yes. I fully understand that it is difficult to see the screen when moving in all directions. Generally, I try very hard to cue in a way that minimizes the students need to "see" the screen. With that intention, there is more verbal cueing. While its is useful to have enough verbal cues, I am in full agreement that too much talking can be distracting. Because this class included so much "out of the box" movement, it is very difficult to verbally cue well enough to avoid looking at the screen and also tricky to use the right amount of verbal cues. Perhaps you can look at the pieces that you were unsure of during class and, with a little practice, enjoy the flow! Additionally, I will keep your thoughts in mind next time I teach a class like this. Take good care:)
