Continuing Education for Movement Teachers

  • Holding Space: Intention, Restorative & Meditation for Modern Movement Teachers

    25-Hour Yoga Alliance–Accredited Continuing Education

    Virtual Learning (15 Hours) + In-Person Workshop (10 Hours)
    In-Person: Jan 31 12pm - 5pm & Feb 1 12:30-5:30pm
    Instructor: Amy Tattrie

    Most movement teachers are trained what to teach — not how to hold space while they’re teaching.

    This 25-hour continuing education gives yoga and movement teachers practical, grounded tools to integrate intention setting, restorative practices, and meditation into their classes with confidence and clarity.

    These skills are taught as core teaching competencies, not add-ons. The focus is on real-world application: mixed levels, mixed nervous systems, limited time, and diverse student needs.

    Pilates, barre, and movement teachers

    Strength or fitness instructors wanting to support regulation

    Teachers seeking confidence in rest, stillness, and meditation

    No prior restorative or meditation training required.
