Professional Training

a transformative journey

Our Movement Medicine® Professional Training is a transformative journey in itself. It is geared towards supporting you to bring your Medicine through Movement Medicine and to inspire you to become an even deeper catalyst for positive change in the world. It is also a fast track to personal and spiritual growth since teaching this stuff is a very important part of learning it and holding space for others requires humility, artistry, integrity and great skill.

Why this training?

Movement Medicine is dedicated to helping as many people as possible in as many situations as possible to be who they are and give what they've got. It supports people to explore the profound connection between embodied movement, wellbeing, a non-dogmatic and direct connection to spirit and the artistry of being human. The Professional Training we offer is the culmination of our 35 years of teaching experience. Alongside that, the strength, efficacy and authenticity of our work has been recognised by elders from the Amazon to the Arctic.

“This summer I had two experiences (in different contexts) that brought home to me all the invaluable lessons I learned from you about co-creating safe space clarity about what’s on the tin meeting people where they’re at inviting them to take the next step from there integrity as a teacher adaptability and flexibility to divert from the plan if needed, but always in the context of what’s on the tin trust and rapport between teacher and students I noticed that fellow teachers and facilitators that I met this summer did not have the same confidence in those things as I do. For me these things are pretty much second nature and I know that that’s for a large part thanks to you!”

Teaching Movement Medicine isn't just a profession; it's a calling to be a beacon of positive change. It is for people who have the courage to lead and the clear intention to be of service and to live a creative life rooted in life-long learning.

“The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

Mahatma Gandhi

Who is the training for?

The Training is open to those people who want to either train to use Movement Medicine in its pure form or for those who wish to explore integrating Movement Medicine into other professions in which they are already trained. It is for people who have completed a Movement Medicine Apprenticeship Program in which you learn to apply the principles and practice of Movement Medicine to yourself, your relationships and your personal life. This prepares the ground for learning to hold space for others. 

Applicants for the Professional Training need to complete the Embodied Listening self-study course and be members of the Movement Medicine Study Hub. These adventures are open to you to begin now if you feel a call in this direction.

You can expect a high-intensity training in which you get to 'see under the bonnet' of how and why Movement Medicine works. You will be part of a diverse and committed circle of fellow trainees.
