FAMO Tactile Cueing
The power of touch in tactile cueing is profound. In body-minded movement training, a well-placed hand can convey information that words alone cannot fully express. It provides direct mechanical and sensory feedback and guides awareness, together enhancing movement coordination (proprioception), deepening the sensations an exercise elicits (interoception), and creating a connection to the external world (exteroception).
About the Course
Learning this hands-on skill also strengthens helps you sharpen your intention—what you teach and why you touch—and your confidence—how you touch. Additionally, it fosters a sense of trust and connection between teacher and mover.
