A NOTE FOR ALL:

Learning an intense and complicated integration of practices over a month is never enough. Each participant is also responsible for their personal research and development and deeper understanding of the practice for being able to share, transmit and teach SOMATIC practices in the best possible way. Unity Space and Vangelis Legakis will be occasionally invite participants who have good standards in the somatic practice to teach in festivals and projects. Eventually, Van and Unity Space, aim to create a strong team of teachers to spread Somatic and Healing Practices to different studios, academies, universities, institutions as well as in community centers to open the practice to all people from diverse professional backgrounds.

Who is eligible to participate to this course and how many participants you take?

This course is open for people from diverse backgrounds in dance, healing, spirituality, psychology, somatics and embodied practices. You are required to have at least some practice based on embodiment and education or a dance background outside tertiary dance education.

During the course, you will pass through a thorough and deep physical and analytical understanding of the principles of Somatics, Healing, Energy Work, Meditation and Spirituality. Towards the end of the course, we will have a final evaluation session for each participant, which you will be asked to demonstrate your understanding and knowledge of the practice by teaching 1 hours class shared by other 3-4 participants.

To Ensure the good quality of the course we will take 12 participants maximum.

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.
