Why Awareness Outperforms Finding the Perfect Cue | #346

In this episode, I wrap up my three-part mini-series on choreography and awareness by sharing why awareness-first teaching often creates deeper, more lasting change than even the most precise cues. I explain how students can follow instructions perfectly yet still brace, grip, or feel pain, and how awareness helps their bodies reorganize into movement that's lighter, clearer, and more efficient.

I explore how awareness improves neuromuscular coordination, reduces guarding, enhances mobility, and builds ease without extra effort. When we shift from simply correcting alignment to observing patterns and sensations, students not only move better—they feel better.
