Give ‘Em a Break
By: Steve Ridley
Allow a few minutes during class to sit with your students and invite TCC related discussion. This can provide balance to the ‘work periods’ of moving through forms together.
Your students will value the opportunity to sit and talk with you as a person, who happens to be a teacher. TCC in the broad sense, is not restricted to the practice of 19 movement patterns, but is an ongoing way of living, which includes relating naturally with others. No need to be “all business” when sharing the joy revealing practice of TCC.

The freer we are
in ourselves
The more we can help
free others.

Extraordinary teachers have worked extra hard to allow something above the ordinary to manifest through them.
