Somatic Weaving: A Teacher Cohort

A mentored training for movement educators

Somatic Weaving is a small, cohort-based teacher training for movement educators who want to bring more embodiment, nervous system awareness, and ethical clarity into their teaching.

This training is focused less on what you teach and more on how you teach. How you cue, how you listen, how you hold space, and how you support students in moving from their internal experience rather than external performance.

It’s designed for educators who feel called to teach with care, presence, and responsiveness.

Who This Training is For

You don’t need to identify as a “somatic educator” to participate. Curiosity, self-reflection, and a willingness to listen are more important than credentials.

This cohort is best suited for:

  • Yoga teachers, Pilates instructors, strength trainers, bodyworkers, and movement educators

  • Practitioners who already guide others and want to deepen how they hold a container

  • Teachers interested in somatic, body-led, nervous-system-informed approaches

  • Educators who value consent, agency, and ethical teaching practices


What We’ll Explore

The work is intentionally paced and relational. This is not about mastering a technique — it’s about refining your presence and responsiveness as a teacher.

Throughout the training, we’ll work with:

  • Bringing the nervous system into the center of your teaching

  • Cueing for sensation instead of performance or shape

  • Supporting students in moving from internal awareness

  • Practical tools for grounding, unwinding, and regulation

  • Weaving somatic principles into your existing modality (yoga, Pilates, strength, barre, etc.)

Training Structure

This is a 30-day container.

Full-Day Immersion

The training begins with a full-day, in-person immersion focused on embodied learning, shared language, and foundational principles.

This day establishes the container for the cohort and offers space to experience the work in your own body before applying it in practice.

Practicum Session

Within one month of the immersion, each participant completes a 2-hour practicum.

This is an applied teaching experience where you:

  • Guide a small group class or private session

  • Apply the principles explored during the immersion

  • Work with either fellow cohort members or your own clients

Liz observes this session to see how the work translates into real teaching contexts.

Review & Mentorship

Following the practicum, each participant has a 1-hour private mentoring session with Liz.

This is a dedicated space for:

  • Reflection and feedback

  • Clarifying strengths and growth edges

  • Discussing next steps in your teaching practice

Cohort Dates

Each cohort is intentionally small to support depth, safety, and meaningful mentorship.

A Note on Scope & Placement

This training is:

  • Not a certification program

  • Not a guarantee of teaching placement at the MOVEMENT

It serves as a shared foundation and a point of discernment. Participation may inform future teaching opportunities, but all invitations to teach are made separately and intentionally.

A Closing Note From Liz

Somatic Weaving is the approach that has allowed me to continue teaching what I love in a more compassionate and spacious way.

It’s a way of taking the whole self into account — not separating the body from the mind or the soul — and of teaching from a place that honors complexity, capacity, and lived experience.

This training is an invitation to explore that way of working, to refine how you listen and respond as a teacher, and to continue building practices that support both you and the people you guide.

Interested?

Because this is a small, mentored cohort, participation begins with an inquiry.
