What is the traditional international path in Bodynamic® education?

Training in Bodynamic® can take place in various ways depending on individual interest and available time. The training can be completed gradually. Training in the field of "Shock Trauma" and workshops can take place concurrently with Foundation, Practitioner, and Specialist courses.

The average duration of completing each training level: Foundation: 18 days (over 1 year), Practitioner: 75 days (over 3 years), Specialist Classes: approximately 28 days, Shock Trauma: 30 days (over approximately 1.5 years). Workshops are independent of the standard training and certification in the Bodynamic® method.


Basics of the Bodynamic® Body-Oriented Therapeutic Method

Explore the fascinating world where childhood experiences shape our personality and body. This 3-day workshop, based on the principles of Bodynamic theory, offers a unique perspective on how early experiences influence our physical and psychological structure. The fourth day will be dedicated to individual therapy with a Bodynamic lecturer.


What to Expect?

🔥 Childhood Experiences and Character Structure Formation: Learn how key childhood experiences influence the development of the seven Bodynamic character structures and their impact on our adult lives.

🔥 Muscles and Memories: Understand the connection between specific muscle groups and childhood memories or traumas. Discover how our body stores and displays these early experiences. 

🔥 Relationships and Body Dynamics: Explore how family and social interactions shape our bodily responses and character traits. Understand how these dynamics affect our current relationships and self-perception. 

🔥 Mind and Muscle Connection: Delve into the concept of linking specific muscle groups with our mental and emotional states. This knowledge is key for therapists, psychologists, and anyone interested in personal development.

Why Attend:

Expand Your Professional Toolkit: This workshop is ideal for professionals in therapy, psychology, and related fields who want to deepen their practice and support their clients more effectively. 

Support Personal Growth: Discover your own character structures and muscle patterns, leading to greater self-awareness and personal growth. 

Individual Therapy with the Lecturer: The last day of the workshop will be dedicated to individual sessions, where you can receive personal advice and deeper insights.
