Lately, my students have been asking to use a prop I've never used—it is, in fact, a prop that I don't even know the proper name for. I'll try to describe it. You know those thing-a-ma-jigs that hang down from the wall that look like a cross between a trapeze and and pulley? It's got handles and Velcro . . . I think it's used for inversions for students that don't have the strength to hold themselves.
Anyway, its become a question in class that I have to admit I dread: "Can we use the wall this week?"
"Why, yes, of course we can," I reply. "But not that wall—not today."
I'm not pretending I know something I don't—I've admitted this freely. But I understand their curiosity, and I even share in it. So I've asked a senior teacher to give me a demo—and if I really get it, I might include it in a future class. Maybe.
