one-day intensive workshop
An Instructor Intensive
Becoming the instructor people remember: a one-day workshop for movement professionals ready to elevate the way they teach.
Held monthly · next session Sunday, September 27, 2026
the philosophy
Teacher trainings are everywhere. What's harder to find — and what actually determines whether students come back — is the ability to hold a room. To teach with presence, communicate with precision, and build a class with real intention behind it.
This is a one-day workshop built around the thing Maya is known for: commanding the room. You'll leave with sharper cueing, a stronger teaching voice, and a class sequence you built with intention — plus real, live feedback on your own teaching, in front of a small group of peers doing the same work.
the four pillars
Confidence, voice, and the ability to command attention and read a room the moment you walk in.
Advanced cueing — saying less, saying the right thing, and creating real connection with every student.
Thinking like a coach — sequencing, building classes with intention, instead of stringing together random exercises.
Teaching in real time, coached in real time — the part of the day people remember most.
what you'll work on
Students decide within the first few minutes whether they'll be returning to your class. Confidence, voice, and commanding attention. Reading the room, managing energy, and creating trust immediately — leading instead of performing.
Advanced cueing — saying less, saying the right thing. External vs. internal cues, imagery, and creating real connection.
Why sequencing matters. Thinking like a coach, building classes intentionally, and understanding movement objectives — not random programming.
the part you'll remember
This is where it comes together. In small breakout sessions on Zoom, each participant teaches — live, on camera — and Maya coaches you in real time.
Everyone learns from watching, not just from doing. You'll walk away having taught, been coached, and watched other instructors get coached too — a compressed year of feedback in a single afternoon.
the day
Saturday, August 22, 2026 · 9:00 AM – 3:30 PM
What separates memorable instructors from forgettable ones. The four pillars of exceptional teaching, and setting intentions for the day.
Students decide within the first few minutes whether they'll be returning to your class. Confidence, voice, commanding attention, reading the room, managing energy, creating trust immediately, leading instead of performing. Everyone teaches an intro + start of class, with feedback.
Advanced cueing, saying less, saying the right thing, external vs. internal cues, imagery, creating connection. Cueing drills and partner coaching. Everyone teaches a section, with feedback.
Why sequencing matters, thinking like a coach, building classes intentionally, understanding movement objectives, avoiding random programming. Build a sequence together.
Participants teach. Maya coaches in real time. Everyone learns from watching.
A personal growth prescription for every participant, and live Q&A to close out the day.

It's personal, specific, and built entirely around where you are as a teacher right now — something no group session alone can give you.
