Between the Lines
Between the Lines explores what great movement teaching is really made of.
Using aerial arts as the starting point, we dive into the often-overlooked factors that shape learning: fear, confidence, motor learning, coaching, nervous system science, movement quality, communication, trust, and the culture we create in our classrooms.
Whether you're an aerial instructor, movement coach, or simply fascinated by how people learn complex skills, this podcast goes beyond tricks and technique to uncover what actually helps students thrive.
Hosted by aerial educator Sara Kaiser.

The Retention Problem - what makes beginners stay or leave?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode we explore the common experience of the beginner student and some of the biggest reasons that contribute to their decision to continue or call it quits.
We explore how studios can organize to create an outstanding beginner experience and inspire students to keep coming back - without rushing foundations and skipping to fancy tricks.
The retention problem is a very layered thing, and we need many different pieces to be in place for it to happen. From what kind of student you attract to how you create psychological safety and belonging, retention requires intention.
