The Studio B Mentorship Program: Deepen your Skills
Fall Mentorship, September-December 2024
The most successful teachers are those consistent in their practice, who spend time examining the finer details of this work. The curriculum is designed to deepen your knowledge of movement science, sharpen teaching skills, and gain an advanced perspective for working with all types of clients. The Mentorship Program can be taken, during or after your teacher training program. You can sign up for the full program or specific classes and workshops can be taken individually. For teachers in training, you will work towards completing your practical hours, fill in the gaps and answer questions that arise between teacher training sessions.
Amy Beversdorf and Pamela Luedtke have a long history of teaching movement to all levels and in a variety of environments; from post-rehab clientele to athletes and professional dancers; in physical therapy clinics and university programs. As Balanced Body Educators, they have taken advanced education in anatomy, neuromuscular repatterning and pedagogy, and hold post-graduate certificates in Laban Movement Analysis, Bartenieff Fundamentals and Brain Gym (Educational Kinesiology).
