Check it out! A brand-new Westie Workout is waiting for you in the Recordings Library! This one is 100% in counterbalance, with lots of follow-along exercises to music designed to help you strengthen your core and maintain your pitch while coordinating leg movements and regulating your leash.! 

Also check out a great new conditioning video Coach Gabriel made specifically to target your shoulders because this joint can be vulnerable while you are trying to anchor and stretch with partners who are not as "swing-literate".  Look for this new video in the Conditioning training track.

Your May theme-of-the-month is LIVE and ready for Momentum members who have completed EPH!

This means that if you have already spent 3 weeks implementing your practice plans and have returned to Refining stage to reflect and adjust them with the additional advice, you can start Anchor Shaping.

We do not recommend doing Anchor Shaping at the same time as Effective Practice Habits - EPH should be completed first. For more details on this, please review the Orientation coaching call from Sunday, May 2 on the Coaching Calls page.

We had an an awesome Orientation coaching call on Sunday that answered so many questions that you had about the themes and stages, practice pods, feedback, and starting your first theme, Effective Practice Habits! Be sure to watch the recording on the Coaching Calls page.

One major question (which we detail on the call) what about when to move on to other themes this month. Just to be really clear:

Effective Practice Habits is its own theme (in the Mental Game training track) that should not be combined with other themes. Be sure to complete EPH properly first for the next few weeks before charging ahead and tackling other themes, including this month's Anchor Shaping theme. In the meantime, take your time to get settled in and review drills you have been saving from the DDP. 

Check it out! A sweaty new Westie Workout #9 was posted yesterday: Non-Stop Blues Grooves! Check it out in the Library.

And Coach Gabriel has also released a new conditioning video: Stabilize Your Hips for Better Pitch. Check it out in the Conditioning training track.

Hot off the press! Look in the Library under "Recordings" to find the Blues Grooves workshop we just taught today.

Enjoy!

Have you noticed (in the themes and DDP) some underlined words have little pop-up definitions when you hover your mouse over them? That's a new feature we're trying out to see if you like it! 

We're hoping this integrated glossary will help make it even easier to understand new words and terms and make your Swing Literacy experience even smoother. 

Clicking on the pop-up will take you to a new searchable Glossary page. Got any words or terms you would like to see us add here? Send us an email with your requests.

Enjoy!
