Teacher Training
Start: Saturday 20th September 7.30am-11.30am BST
CPD points (Continual Professional Development) are available for the course.
Train to be a Mindfulness Stress Reduction Course facilitator.
This new course is in response to requests from others for teacher training. The programme is spread spaciously over a year and will result in participants having confidence in their ability to impart these ancient skills to others.
The syllabus provides a body of knowledge in the subtle arts of relaxation, movement and mindfulness. These three streams of awareness are interdependent and integral to the understanding of how we tick. Knowing how to skilfully practice them helps reduce stress, to cultivate a calm, peaceful mind and physical ease. Through the practice the innate qualities of patience, compassion, wisdom, joy and equanimity are nourished and nurtured.
The training is experiential with teaching practice woven in from the beginning of the course. As well as this training you’ll gain skills in presentation and group dynamic techniques, administration and publicity advice.
- The course consists of 20 Saturday morning sessions (7.30am -11.30am UK) held fortnightly culminating in a one week residential retreat.
- it is scheduled to start on Saturday 20th September
- You’ll have a 4 week break between the first 10 morning sessions and the second 10 mornings.
- 12 Qigong classes are included in the course fee. These can be used at either the regular Tuesdays at 6pm or Thursdays at 11am classes.
- A residential retreat week, date and venue to be confirmed, will be the culmination of the course for teaching practice, deeper learning, confidence boosting and to celebrate the accomplishments achieved over the past year of study together.
Most of the course will be delivered via Zoom. You’ll be expected to practice in between each session. You’ll connect with other participants using FaceTime (or similar) between each session to deepen your understanding of the process.
The cost of the in-person residential retreat is included in the course fee, but not the accommodation or travel costs incurred.

“A lot of wisdom that dropped in like stars and in the end it made a constellation – layers of understanding built up slowly but foundational – I feel inspired to move, I feel safer as a mindful movement provider/facilitator. Would I do it again? Recommend it? Yes, I would.”
‘Wonderful experiential teaching and learning’
‘Sue’s teaching embodies the practice, and models, through skilful language and a step-by-step approach, a process of truly becoming aware of the magic of the body.’
‘Fantastic teacher. It has offered me far more than what I had set out to achieve, which was to help my clients to be in touch with their bodies. I have learned about the philosophies behind the movements and the philosophy for life.’
‘Bringing light, joy, aliveness into my facilitation of mindfulness, transitioning my own knowledge and experience of movement into teaching others and to find a language to share this.’
