TEACHER TRAINING

                                               
                                               Creative - Inspiring - Challenging

Creative because we teachers are Artists, Inspiring because we are guides on the path to finding peace within uncertainty,
Challenging because growth is offered to those striving to flow outside of their comfort zone… Simply!
                                                                                                                                                                                                                     Raphan 



TEACHING CERTIFICATION 

The SPACE & FLOW Teaching Certification is a programme which offers training in the method of S&F Yoga, its practice tools and teaching techniques, and an insight into how to help expand kinaesthetic awareness in the general population through a movement-based Yoga practice.

The programme is practice-driven and led by S&F founder Raphan Kebe who will be present throughout the training.

The teacher training is made up of two parts: 

Part 1
A one-week intensive (30h course) called the A-B-C-D-E 's of Flow*
which is open to everyone interested in delving into the S&F method and philosophy of practice without necessarily wanting to become a S&F teacher
taking place on the Spanish island of Mallorca 20 - 27 August 2022

+ 
 A week-long in-person intensive, called the F-G-H-I-J 's of teaching, for final teaching and practice tasks and graduations in June 2023. Location tbc
F-G-H-I-J ’s of teaching: FLOW - Growth - Harmony - Impact - Joy


Please apply to and complete the A-B-C-D-E 's of Flow 30h course before committing and applying to the teacher training

During Part 2 every teacher will also have monthly individual mentoring sessions with Raphan and access to an online portal containing all learning materials, sequence videos, and the video recordings of each interactive sessions taking place online. The portal will also offer a place for on-going discussions and Q&A's, with both Raphan and fellow teachers, about self practice, individual teaching organisation, and the on-going development of one’s teaching style and voice within the realm of Space & Flow. 

The S&F teacher training programme is unique in its emphasis on the organisational context of movement and on the reinforcing language and mindset within the field of a yoga practice. This teaching certification is for those looking to embody and share an approach to movement that is both creative and collective in spirit and which manages to remain individual in practice.

Following successful completion of the programme participants will be able to advertise themselves as Space & Flow Yoga™ teachers and offer dedicated S&F Yoga and movement classes.

THE TRAINING

 

S&F Teachers will

• Receive a repertoire of tried and tested Vinyasa sequences and two postural versions (asanas or "pauses") for each, as well as access to the corresponding HD videos through the S&F online portal.

• Develop the analytical and problem solving skills to organise, adapt, and teach effectively to a range of abilities ranging from total beginners to advanced movers.

• Develop a teacher reflective journal which charts their growth through self reflection, inquiries, and their writing down of teaching and learning strategies and outcomes.

• Have access to an online portal containing all learning materials, videos, and which offers a place for discussions and Q&A's with both Raphan and fellow teachers. 

• Benefit from 1 to 1 mentoring sessions (via Zoom) with Raphan throughout the course.

• An understanding of the physiological and psychological processes involved in somatic experiencing during S&F classes.

• A deeper appreciation and respect for the development of a growth mindset, both in teachers and students, and how a humanistic pedagogy can be used to support this.

PATH TO QUALIFICATION

 

To qualify as a SPACE & FLOW teacher you will need to be able to:

• Teach, utilise, and adapt the S&F dynamic warm up to fit the requirements of classes of various levels.

• Demonstrate, break down, scale up/down a minimum of 9 S&F repertoire sequences + 3 sequences you have created using the various S&F tools and principles. 

• Create various short sequences of movements - "Set ups" - that follow a thread and serve to cultivate a positive and gradual learning and teaching experience for yourself and others.

• Work towards cultivating healthy relationships with yourself (mind & body), your students, and the communities you choose to serve using the practice. 

• Initiate for and by yourself regular periods of study and self practice.

• Show respect and appreciation for professional and social ethics in the sharing and teaching of the practice.


Attendance

Attendance to the whole programme - intensive and online - is required in order to graduate. 


Fees

All fees will need to have been paid in full for graduation to take place and for the SPACE & FLOW teaching diploma to be awarded.

 

REQUIREMENTS

 

Whilst candidates would benefit from having a recognised Yoga teaching qualification, or an equivalent professional certification in the realm of dance, personal training, or movement coaching, the only 3 requirements are as follows:

  • Have a physical movement and postural practice.
  • Be willing and able to commit to guided practices AND teaching, both of which will require to try things out, to practice and practice-teaching outside of one's comfort zone, to fuck it up, to shrug it off, and to try again… simply. 
  • Have the maturity - to ask when in doubt - to push with discipline when one can not proceed with grace - to appreciate that the refinement of our questions often contains the answers, and - to choose to take on the responsibility for one’s own mental and physical health.

 

ALL of the following are needed for the course: 

- A camera/phone you can use to film and document your practice and sequences

- A Youtube account - for the 'unlisted' (not public) videos you will be required to send in for feedback

- A Gymboss miniMAX Interval Timer (UK) (France)

For the online sessions via Zoom ALL of the following are also needed: 

- A laptop or computer

- A stable internet connection; do invest in an ethernet cable

- A bluetooth headset like THIS

Lastly, whilst it is not a requirement to want to become a full-time teacher please understand that this course is to enable people to actually teach SPACE & FLOW, and not just deepen their practice through the means of the method. As such everyone on the course will partake in teaching practicals and be given teaching assignments.

If you wish to only and simply deepen your practice through the means of S&F the suggestion is to attend classes regularly, join us on a retreat, and/or have a few private lessons with Raphan.
