Default Can you teach mind/body/muscle connection?

After being out of lifting for such a long time, relatively speaking, I'm focusing on really good form. My mind/body/muscle connection is still there and as I was doing my bent over rows I was wondering.... is this something you can teach?
I've "trained" quite a few people and always tried explaining it but was never really successful, so I wonder: can you teach this, is it something that some people have and others don't or is it simply learned as years of lifting "teach" you?

I know that when doing bent over rows I was fully able to focus directly on my lats and really get the stretch and contraction just right, but so many people you see in the gyms are simply going through the motions it just looks sloppy and you can tell they aren't getting the full benefit of the workout.

Discuss.
