What is ISMETA?
ISMETA, the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association, is a not-for-profit organization. It maintains a professional registry of qualified practitioners and ensures that Somatic Movement Training Programs uphold high standards of education and practice. Its vision is to transform ourselves and the world through conscious movement.
Movingness Somatic Teacher Training (360 h)
The long somatic teacher training is an amazing inner adventure! Here you’ll meet your body in a kind and intimate way. The slow movements in Movingness open the door to a direct experience of yourself. It can be a joyful and liberating meeting! You can find space within yourself – and hold space for your students.
Somatic Strength Teacher Training (40 h)
Strength training doesn't have to be huffing and puffing. You can also build strength with a peaceful somatic approach. In this program, you’ll learn how to stay deeply connected with your body while simultaneously challenging it. Somatic strength training is about building muscles, but it also includes mobility, coordination and elasticity!
Somatic Walking Teacher Training (40 h)
It’s quite common to take walking for granted – and struggle with it! In the Somatic Walking program, we reverse the script. We accept that walking is difficult. And learn how to master it! Most of the program is done lying on the floor. This makes it possible to relax the postural muscles. Now, we can create a fresh relationship with our feet, legs, hips, and spine. We can fine-tune our movement patterns throughout the whole body!
Somatic Breathing Teacher Training (40 h)
Your breathing is you! In the Somatic Breathing Training, we’re treating our breathing with love and respect. We do not force it! We start by creating a gentle relationship with it – a feeling of comfort and safety. Now, your breathing can become your best friend. You can use it to gather your restless thoughts or to calm down in stressful situations. You can make your breathing an anchor in your daily life.Â
Somatic Retreat Teacher Training (35 h)
Being and doing together for a week can greatly deepen the somatic experience! After the long teacher training, you’re invited to a 7-day somatic retreat. Here, you’ll learn how to teach Movingness in different class settings. You’ll also work with small groups and learn special Movingness hands-on practices. Moreover, you’ll meet somatic practitioners and make friends from all over the world.
AÂ complete 500-hour certification
With Movingness, you can climb your professional ladder step by step. It is recommended to start with the long teacher training to gain a deep personal experience. This brings you to your first destination as an Associate Somatic Movement Professional, ASMP. After that, you can continue with four shorter, specialized teacher trainings until you reach the 500-hour mark and become a Registered Somatic Movement Educator, RSME.
