RingsideReady

Needing a pause

Take this slowly, stay balanced, and ask your coach when something feels unclear.

what to do

  • Step to the side of the floor and catch your breath.
  • Tell the coach if you feel unwell rather than just dizzy from effort.
  • Rejoin when you are ready.

what not to do

  • Do not push through feeling faint or sick.
  • Do not leave the room without telling anyone.

why it matters

Taking a breather is completely normal in a first class. Pushing through feeling unwell is not.

quick rule

Step out at the side, tell the coach, rejoin.
