- Q&A zum Somatischen Basisjahr / Somatischen Bewegungspädagogik
After the first year of the Somatic Basics Training (Part 1), the Somatic Pedagogy Training (Part 2) focuses on practical deepening and the ability to facilitate and guide individuals and groups in somatic work. The Somatic Pedagogy Training establishes the second and final prerequisite for professional certification and recognition by ISMETA, the International Somatic Movement and Therapy Association.
The Somatic Pedagogy Training also provides an insight into the history and philosophy of somatics, its theories, principles, delimitations and its critical reflection within our current cultural context (Critical Somatics). Through the analysis of human movement development and through the specific and synergistic attributes of the somatic methods taught, the material can be absorbed and integrated in an embodied and cognitive way, thus supporting sense-making, choice-making and acting in the world. On the one hand, understanding the principles of the individual methods gives students the opportunity to survey a large part of the somatic professional field. On the other hand, the student gains the ability to use these principles as a basis for their own authorship and application.
The Somatic Pedagogy Training (ISMETA certified) will start January 19th, 2026 and will be held in English.
This evening opens up the space for content-related and practical questions about the professional training in Somatic Pedagogy.
