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.

Listener Question: Gaps in Foundations & Nonlinear Pedagogy
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Today we consider a question from listener Rachel Lamb (@rlamb_leg) who observed that many studios have a trick-focused curriculum with significant gaps in the foundations.
We explore how this is a common pattern, when nonlinear pedagogy can workand when it introduces risk and limitations for students.
We talk about what it means to really devote ourselves to the craft of teaching and rising to the challenge of becoming an expert, not just guessing our way through.
