Keeping Energy and Engagement Up
Energy in a class is not something that happens to you. It is something you manage, shape, and occasionally rescue.
Every class has a rhythm. Arrival energy, when everything is new and guests are curious. Working energy, when people are absorbed in the task. And the dip, which comes somewhere in the middle for almost every class, when the initial novelty has worn off and the work starts to feel like work.
The dip is normal. What you do with it is the difference between a class that comes back from it with renewed energy and a class that stays flat until people drift out.
This section covers how to read the energy in your room, how to anticipate and navigate the mid-class slump, and how to use stories, questions, and your own presence to keep the class alive and moving without forcing it.
