8 week - 35 hour Course
Mindful Movement Level 1 Training is for experienced instructors and coaches of movement via a highly interactive learning course that immerses you into a new approach of teaching. You will have the opportunity to learn and practice new instruction techniques within your discipline and discover unique approaches to moving you’ve never thought of before. This training will enhance your self-awareness in surprising ways.
The cornerstone of Level 1 introduces the necessity of body safety and proposes the means of achieving it in any movement practice.
Each week consists of one hour of independent study that introduces the weekly content consisting of interactive activities, readings, reflections and tutorials; a live online group session (2 hours per week) where you will meet with the trainers to learn and practice the weekly content; and a one hour live Pod session in smaller groups where you will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned into your movement practice. You should expect to devote four hours per week for the entire course.
