Kothbiro by Ayub Ogada

Coaching Notes:

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: Internal
Purpose: To practice the ability to focus the attention inward and tune in to the needs of the body.

Guidelines for Personal Song:
This is an opportunity for your participants to do the movements they need to do for their individual body. This is not guided. You just tell them:
This song is for you. It’s a chance for you to tune into your body and do what you need for you. You can do what you would like to this song.
You can dance it, stretch, meditate, massage or whatever your body needs right now. This is not the time to leave, this is not the end of the class.
This is a very important part of the groove experience and time for you to take care of you! So do what you need for you and your body.
You can also say. “Whatever you choose to do, infuse it with your breath and your attention.”
One song is sufficient unless you are facilitating a “therapeutic Groove”, then you may want to use 2 songs.

**********************************

Pre-Teach: No
Focus: Internal to begin with, moving into the external focus if you choose to bring them into a circle after a while.
Purpose: To have time and space to bring the awareness back after the meditation.

Bring back after stillness
Waking our participants up after they rest in stillness is an important component of the overall experience that should not be overlooked.
We have tons of delicious options on The Groove Academy Online Resources that provide a gentle, relaxing and inspiring wake up.
Be sure to use what we suggest as we’ve found that these song selections work really well.
Pay attention to how you wake your participants up and be sure to give them time to stretch, gently roll their ankles and wrists, or simply lay on one side of the body and come to a seated position nice and slow.
