Embodiment begins with you.

In this training, you experience specific somatic activities developed over 30 years of working with teens and young adults by Susan Bauer (founder of Embodiment in Education and the author of The Embodied Teen). You also learn key methods for bringing somatic practices to youth and young adults in meaningful and accessible ways. Engage with innovative pedagogy and learn sample activities to fully explore and embody the material yourself—essential preparation for teaching to others.

This program is a fun and inspiring introduction for educators of all levels to experience basic somatic practices, learn simple pedagogy principles, and build their own inner resources for both personal growth and professional development.

In this 25-hour program, you deepen your own embodiment and learn concrete, practical activities to integrate into your teaching. Along with sample pedagogy, this introductory immersion also gives you a feel for the longer Embodiment in Education Teacher Certification program.

Join this course to become part of a dynamic community of like-minded progressive, holistic educators involved in bridging the fields of somatics, mindfulness, and social and emotional learning.

Who is this program for?

This program is for professionals with a background in teaching movement or somatics who work with youth and young adults, and/or want to expand their reach to working with them. Dance teachers, physical educators, yoga teachers, theater teachers, mindfulness leaders, somatic practitioners, and those who teach social and emotional learning programs with youth find this program extremely beneficial.

Participants also include counselors, parents, physical therapists, dance therapists, and a wide range of community members who are inspired to learn more about somatic education and share embodiment practices with our next generation.
