Aha Atlas Video Newsletter | Issue 9 | Voice (Free Edition)
December 2021
Voice
Welcome to the ninth issue of the Aha Atlas Newsletter! We’re talking about your voice this month – how to warm it up, how to use it, and how to take care of it. Join Talese for a special experience in the Move Section. She’s leading you through an audio-only class that will help you feel grounded and powerful. Plus, check out the Chill section to see how we plan to wrap up the year.
Lastly, try upgrading your subscription this month. With the Member Edition, you’ll get full access to videos and member perks.
Learn
Let’s explore a teaching concept.
Can you think of someone who has a voice you could listen to for hours? It might be a singer, a podcaster, an actor, or a friend. It’s common to cringe at the sound of your own voice, but it’s an important part of your Pilates classes and sessions. Polish up your vocal delivery in this video with Talese. You’ll see your clients sparkle!
Move
Move with us in this mini-class (10-20 minutes).
Did you know that people used to do workouts that were recorded on vinyl records? The instructor’s voice guided you through the class, and many times the record sleeve had a page of images showing the exercises in the class. We hope you enjoy simplifying your sensory stimuli (there’s an enunciation warm-up!) during this audio-only mini class with Talese.
Props: None, just you and your mat!
Aha Members perk — Sign up for the Member Edition to get images of each exercise included in the class.
Grow

Do you often forget to breathe when you’re teaching? Us too! Well, it turns out that breathing well while teaching is super important. You’ll find out why in this video, and you’ll practice how to incorporate it into your teaching routine.
Chill
Come chill with us.
Space
Find a quiet space for yourself, by going for a walk, drawing a bath, or just closing your eyes. Reflect over this past year. What’s one thing you’re grateful for, and one thing you want to let go?
