If you were to watch one of my in-person workshops, you would see that everyone is doing the exercise at their own pace. This is a big part of my teaching methodology.

I like to close my eyes and listen. At times I go too fast without the input from the instructors voice.

Thanks for the feedback. That’s the first I’ve heard of this. I’ll experiment a bit.

Thanks for the feedback! And I was responding to a question someone just asked me…a few days ago. 🙂

It gives a friendly, more personal, and less structured feel to what you have to tell us – like you’re responding to a question someone just asked you. The beautiful scenery is a nice bonus, too!

Great commentary. But the moving camera makes me queasy. Sorry, but I have noticed this with some other people’s YouTube videos. I’m not a videographer, but I imagine the camera needs to move very slowly. Just giving you feedback. Once that spinning sensation starts in my head, it isn’t pleasant.

It satisfies excessive intellectual curiosity while you’re giving the lesson as well as providing some scenic beauty to enjoy.

I like this format very much! Especially for when you are on this adventurous journey.
It seems like a win, win, win to me. We get to see the scenery of where you are at the moment and learn something new at the same time and you get in a few extra steps.
I always appreciate you and all that you do for us.
