"Don't force the posture" pure gold!

Clothier's book was the very first one I read after the 'Oh just look at CM and do everything he does!' advice. I've had a real soft spot for her ever since, and this just reinforces it. Brilliant :)

And I love the phrase 'relationship centred training' :D

She's lovely :D

Her video about counter conditioning is still one of my favourites. Must read her book soon!

That was incredible. So simple, but it needed to be said!

I definitely get the part on posture. The first few classes Opal and I took last year, I was leaning forward, constantly on the alert, and Opal was always standing, maybe sitting or laying down but only if I cued it...whereas the last couple classes, I kicked back in the chair and Opal plopped down on the mat next to me. Very important stuff, but not something most people think of!
