Join us for a two-day training to learn everything you need to have a solid technical foundation for teaching an all-levels Active Flexibility class. The training opens with a masterclass, then dives into anatomy, range of motion, terminology, and curriculum. You’ll learn about a functional warmup for all kinds of flexibility, and spend most of Day 1 focusing on stretches and exercises for splits. Day two focuses on backbending, including shoulders, upper back, and hips. You’ll practice teaching each other and receive individual feedback. We’ll talk about creative and effective cuing, instructional flow, identifying types of pain, and working with injuries. 

Included in this 2-day, 14 hour training is a 130-page electronic version of our Curriculum Manual.
