Description

You know that song that brings you to tears? The one that gives you goosebumps—or makes you feel like you could rise from the ashes and run through a wall?

That power comes from something called prosody—a songwriting principle that aligns music and meaning to create emotional impact.

And here's the thing: prosody isn't just for musicians. It's a tool you can use in your classes to make every movement, music choice, coaching moment, and transition work together to tell one cohesive, powerful story.

In this episode of Off The Mic, Shay breaks down how to use prosody in class design to deepen your impact, connect with clients on an emotional level, and become known for how you make people feel.

If you're ready to go beyond "a good playlist and a hard workout" and step into true experience design—this one's for you.
