Deep dives
Transition to Teaching Intensives
The speaker transitioned from group classes in Barcelona to teaching intensive workshops after realizing that group settings hindered individualized attention for students. They found it challenging to address the unique needs of participants who varied greatly in movement background and conditioning. The shift to teaching intensives allowed for a more tailored approach, enabling students to come with a foundational understanding of movement.
