Learn how to be a confident and compassionate movement trainer

We will give you all the skills & confidence you need to build your own in-person community.

Our course is right for you if you:

  • Want to move more, to check in with your body and learn new skills, or;

  • Want to learn new skills so that you can teach others.

Four days of in-person teaching, an online community & 100s of coaching videos.

  • A mix of teaching methods, from classroom instruction, to peer coaching to role-playing real-life scenarios to group games.

  • Small groups - so we have time and space to go over topics in real detail.

  • No prerequisites - our small groups are very mixed in age and background - some take part just to learn more and others take the Certification. This leads to some incredible conversations!

"Most personal training courses are too technical to be useful. Most movement courses show you cool movements.

Neither give you the skills to become an excellent coach.”

Here’s how we do it…

4 days in-person teaching & learning (scroll for dates)

Days 1 & 2: Movements for life & heuristics

  • The philosophy behind Movements for Life and how to build practical fitness.  

  • Evidence-based movement and community building theories.

  • What these movements look and feel like to us and others, and what the limitations and barriers might be.

  • We explore theories of well-being and how we can bring more people outdoors to spend time together, building stronger, more resilient communities.

Days 3 & 4: Coaching confidence & skill

  • Learning how to think critically about movement selection.

  • Session planning for different populations.

  • Learning how to troubleshoot.

  • Finding a balance - building your support network and your coaching confidence.

  • Peer-led, practical coaching workshops

  • How to start building your community using our Coaching Pathway toolkit.
