The insightful movement teacher cues the in intention, not the contraction.

Cuing a movement intention ignites an array of brain associations which can include direction, amplitude, quality, forcefulness, and timing among many other possibilities.

It facilitates a global integrated neuromuscular response to that intention, creating a nuanced, complete movement.

Cuing a muscle contraction seems a little lame in comparison, doesn’t it?
