We are compiling a glossary of terms I use when discussing and teaching these techniques. Here’s our growing list, please add to it as you hear or think of new terms.

We will be using a special wordpress plugin to help us turn these into terms that have descriptions or explanations; some may also have clickable hyperlinks leading to images or videos.
