Why We Practise in Modules
Because good practice gets more interesting when you don’t start from scratch every week.
Why not drop-ins?
There’s nothing wrong with drop-in classes. They work beautifully for plenty of people.
I simply teach differently.
At SWY, classes are organised into progressive modules that build from week to week. Rather than arriving to something completely new every time, you’ll revisit movements, transitions and ideas often enough to become familiar with them — and then start noticing more.
The first time, you might just be figuring out where your feet go.
A few weeks later, you might notice your breath, your balance, where you’re rushing, what feels stronger, or what suddenly makes much more sense.
That’s where repetition becomes useful.
Repetition helps people learn.
Most of us don’t learn a new skill by doing it once.
Familiarity gives you room to pay attention to more than simply following instructions. Movements become less unfamiliar, transitions become easier to navigate, and there’s more space to explore strength, range, control and choice.
It’s not about mastering poses.
It’s about knowing something well enough that you can actually start practising it.
Progression, not novelty.
I haven’t chosen this model because it’s different. I’ve chosen it because, after nearly three decades of practice and years of teaching, I genuinely believe it’s a better way to learn.
Each module gives us time to introduce ideas, return to them, build on them and see what happens.
Some students join for one module. Others practise across the year. Either way, you’re not expected to remember everything or get anything “right” the first time.
You get another go.
And another.
That’s rather the point.
