You will have ample time for practice and feedback sessions during the Modules and you will also be required to practice at home in between sessions.

The topics include:

Please Note: There may be minor variations to the exact details of the topics, depending on the needs of the group.

As part of the Training, you will also have access to on-going drop-in classes held by currently Certified Teachers to give you direct experience of the method – these will be available at a discounted cost.

Certification:

Certification will be given on Complete Attendance of the Teacher Training (6 Modules – see below for full details) plus a Final Assessment that includes a short written Question & Answer Exercise and a 30-minute Practical Presentation of “holding a class” that you have prepared and practiced – the aim of this is to give you valuable feedback and the confidence to take the next step into holding your own classes. The Final Assessment Session is included in the Training.

The primary objective is to give you the knowledge of some safe and very effective tools and the confidence and inspiration to hold space and teach. If you choose to use the method as it has been taught you, then you also qualify to be a Registered Teacher of the School of Ecstatic Movement and your details will be included on the School of Ecstatic Movement website (there is a small yearly subscription fee for this).

Additional Modules:

Some additional workshops will be offered during and after the 6-month Teacher Training in order to deepen and enhance both your expertise and your own empowerment. Whilst these extra modules are optional, we have found them to be extremely valuable to the participants of the Teacher Training.

These additional modules are:

The Healing Power of Breath – this is a half-day workshop that offers you the opportunity to have an in-depth understanding of the power of breath and also greatly boost your own process. This additional workshop has proved to be of great benefit to course participants and can be offered several times throughout the duration of the training. This is a low-cost module held in London and the dates will be organized at the start of the Training.

Business Success – this is a one-day workshop that will cover in more detail how to run a successful business, marketing skills, promotion, using the internet, and top tips on becoming a “conscious entrepreneur”. For those who will be ready to take their vision into the world and want to be successful in offering their services to the world, this will be a useful addition. This is held in London and will be made available after the completion of the Teacher Training.

Living a Life of Radiance – this is a 5-day Transformational Retreat that will super-power you to the next level of your personal development. It will go deep into clearing emotional blocks, opening your heart to unconditional love, accessing your authentic voice, and awakening you to your true divine nature. You will learn how to access an abundance of physical, emotional and mental as well as receiving wisdom from Amoda’s core teaching of Radical Awakening to anchor you more deeply in the truth of who you are so that you can become a truly empowered person whatever you choose to do! This retreat is held in Greece and will be offered after the Training. Full details will be made available nearer the time.

What other students have said:
"Wow, what a journey, I laughed, I cried, I shared, I listened, I witnessed, I touched a deep and tender part of myself.
I had beautiful moments of clarity and ecstasy, release and freedom. A door has been opened and I have stepped through. Thank you, Amoda, for all of your support, love, truth and wisdom". Tara Carr - N.Wales
"Before completing the Teacher Training, I was a woman in two minds. This course gave me both the courage and impetus to do what I knew in my heart I had to do - let go of the job that no longer served me and step back into the flow of life.” Jeanette Silver - Loughborough UK
“This training was one of the best things I have ever done! The method is deeply transformational and healing but the best part was having the journey of becoming a teacher with Amoda, who generously passed all her tools, wisdom, and love to me and the rest of the ecstatic group!” Alexia Selene, Greece
