Come home to your body
And teach others how to do it!
Movingness teacher training 2021
Welcome to one of the greatest adventures on this planet – the journey back to your own body! During the teacher training in Movingness, you will not only learn how to awaken your interoception and move from within, but also how to teach it to other people. Every time you get up in front of a class, you will have the opportunity to truly enrich the lives of your students.
Overview and focus
The teacher training is a step-by-step journey, divided into three levels, each with its own focus and depth. Each level takes about 10 weeks to complete. During weekly live classes, I’ll guide you through the six movement series (there will be several options, according to your time zone). Simultaneously, you’ll have access to the online material, which makes it possible for you to practice on your own. Since Movingness is a body-mind method, we’re also going to deeply explore the following subjects:
When is the next teacher training?
The next Movingness teacher training starts in spring 2021. And the following in fall 2021. Sign up now on the preliminary list without obligations and I’ll keep you updated about the training. Of course, you’ll be the first to know when it starts and get the best price!
What is Movingness? Movingness is a new method for interoception, natural movement, and embodiment.
You can teach it as a Movingness teacher. Or you can integrate it into your yoga or dance classes, your coaching, or your personal practice.

Movingness Teacher Training, level 1
During the Earth Series you will learn how to deeply relax. This makes it possible to feel the sensations in your body and let them guide your movements (aka interoception). Natural breathing is another important subject. During the Gecko Series, you will learn how to move from the spine and add more effort without losing your underlying relaxation. You will also learn how to teach a Yoga Nidra, specially developed for movement.
Interoception. The ability to sense and feel your body from within is the foundation of Movingness.

“Movingness is making a meaningful difference in our ability to notice ourselves, our habits, and our imbalances. To open flow through our joints, muscles, organs and fluids is to find openness, health and freedom – how exciting!”

Let me show you in practice!
Here are some short examples from the five movement series. They are practiced slowly to create a deep connection with your body and make it possible to move from within.
What exactly is Movingness?
Movingness is an interoception based movement method for body mind-integration. It is based on five series of natural movements and one series of movement anatomy. The movements combine slow stretches with deep breathing. Starting from simple exercises to reconnect body and mind, they gradually take you into complex, free-flowing movement patterns. Practicing Movingness often leads to deep states of flow or meditation, where your body and mind truly feel as one.

Helena Wirén-Westerlund, Finland
“It’s really important to find the slow, rolling movements of the pelvis and the spine and feel how you can move them by hardly doing anything else than breathing. I think we need to experience our deep, stabilizing muscles before we start to use our bigger muscle groups. Working from the inside out gives you a totally different experience and body awareness.”
