For that class, Rob provided a series of Awareness Through Movement lessons on reducing anxiety, increasing voice production and developing effective presentation posture. Students are delighted with the classes. I like these exercises. They make me feel bright and relaxed. There are immediate benefits in the classroom.
Students feel more alert, more ready to learn.
There are also specific literacy-related results as well. For example, one student reported that after doing a lesson on improving the movement of the eyes, she found her reading improved significantly. More general benefits include reducing or alleviating pain and discomfort that develops with sitting. A student with back and shoulder problems said he developed increased flexibility and was able to sit more comfortably for the day-long classes. The benefits go beyond the classroom.
