Professional Workshops & Training

Experience, Explore, Challenge!
Workshops for Movement Professionals

As movement professionals, each of us has our own specialized areas of training, experience and expertise. Our teaching techniques evolve to meet the needs of our individual clients, students and patients. What do we all have in common? A desire to see our clients find success at whatever level they desire to excel.

We learn movement best when we have a personal connection to our own bodies in motion. When we can inspire our clients to develop sensory awareness and an embodied understanding of the work they are doing, they can carry what they learn into the rest of their lives.

Moving Spirit's Professional Series Courses are a complement to your existing movement and clinical specialties. Integrated with your own expertise, our courses open new possiblities for a holographic understanding of the body in movement. Explore your own techniques from a new perspective. Learn to support your clients in finding an embodied experience that will improve compliance, outcome and create results that last a lifetime!

In every workshop, you can expect to find some science, some flow, some creativity and and a whole lot of exploration. These interactive and experiential courses are about taking what you know, combining it with something new and turning it all on its head to find a new depth of understanding and mastery. Come prepared to think, experience and then dive into the body and play!
