Lacey, I love how you sneak in the “techno” – I think a song like Last Train to Lhasa really does help people focus (although I think of BdG more as electronic/world, not techno).

So glad you enjoyed it. Wait until the actual audio PROfile comes out – it will give you even more material to use.

I used this last night – I even made a poster for it. My class was loving to hate it. They were fussing most of the time, but at the end I got ALOT of “that sure was a fun class!”

Fun? Yeah, I always try to make my classes fun. But that was what you call a “sufferfest” for sure! I was having a hard time trying to do what I was telling them and talk at the same time!

I used “Last Train to Lhasa” during the big red and yellow part in the middle with lots of Prodigy and Chemical Brothers tunes before and after. Usually my class doesn’t like “techno” music, even though I regularly sneak it in. But they weren’t paying one bit of attention to what music was being played last night. Almost every single head was looking down and focusing Big Time. I had no chit chat (and that is usually a problem with me because in my class everybody knows everybody….)
We had such a great class.

Thanks for posting, Jennifer!

“Hey, maybe we should team teach somewhere!!” That would be an honour for me. I will keep that dream alive.

I keep thinking about the riders in your classes and how lucky they are! They always have the very first “taste” of your teaching, even before the ICI/PRO members. Hmmmm, I envy them.

I am preparing for few stages of TDF which I will teach in Jan, before leaving on my 6-wk trip back to my homeland-VN and visit Thailand in Feb. Right now, I am reading alot of your posts and watching Youtube clips to build some inspiration from within in order to coach…I wish I know how to use some PowerPoint presentation like you do, any suggestions or tips for me, please? I am OK with doing posters and pictures.

Or does anybody know how to save Youtube clips? Please help!

Ride on!

As usual Le you make me smile!
I’ve used those cues in the past in various ways, but on Friday when I taught this Energia Magica class, the words (very similar to what you wrote) just flowed without conscious thought, from somewhere inside of me. I think it was partially inspiration from the music. I wanted to “capture” what I had said so on my drive home I tried to recall everything and record it onto my iPhone (just downloaded a new Voice Recorder App just for this purpose!)

Oh my spelling after re-read my comment! Please ignore it, readers. I was so excited to write to Jennifer and gotta get to work…
One more thought to you Jennifer: the similarity of our coaching today remind me of one closing I use in my yoga class: “I honour the place in your heart where the universe dwells, the place of lights–energy, truth, love, and peace. Whenever you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me; WE ARE ONE” How true it is, right?
Namaste,
Le

Hi Jennifer,
I don’t believe it but it happened! Without reading your post first, this morning I taught your Resistance Re-Loading profile and one of my cuing in the 3-minute STC was: “Life is energy and the energy is exchanging between you and everything around you. So breath in the energy of the the mountain, the earth, the sun, and breath out in return your energy to them. FEEL IT and just climb!”
And now you post make me feel I am really on the right track after being on this path for the last 10 years and many more! Thank you.
Requiem for A Dream is lifting my spirit to the highest. WOW!
Salute,
Le
