Yes, you will receive an official certificate by Unity Space (digital and hard copy) after you have graduated from the course. After you become a Somatics certified teacher, and after further evaluation in terms of our professional relationship with Unity Space and Van, we will include your personal profile on the ISA Teachers database page on our website, where aspiring students can find the ISA teachers across the world.
If it is appropriate, we will also provide an additional support to promote and share your upcoming ISA classes on our website event calendar as well as on our facebook and Instagram pages if you wish.
A NOTE: Being certified does not mean you will be included in our database and website, this depends on different factors which we will discuss at the opening circle when we start the course.
- To become a certified ISA teacher you need to attend all the dates and classes during the course period . At the end of the ISA | TTC, participants should have a good understanding of practical and theoretical aspects of Somatics integrating healing and spirituality, and should be able to embody and demonstrate the knowledge through the final evaluation teaching sessions.
- The participants should also be able to proactively apply ISA theory and practice in their own practices. If these conditions are met and if the participant is able to confidently structure, build, teach and lead a ISA session, the participants will graduate and receive an official ISA Teacher Certification from the founder, Vangelis Legakis under the organisation Unity Space Global Ltd.
