OUR PROCESS FOR BECOMING A GYROTONIC® TEACHER

1 - PRIVATE SESSIONS

We recommend at least 10 private sessions before one begins the process of becoming a teacher. This is a minimum recommendation, however the more private instruction you have before starting your pre-training, the better.

2 - GYROTONIC LEVEL 1 PRE-TRAINING COURSE

The purpose of this course is to provide a foundational understanding of the Gyrotonic level 1 exercises and prepare students physically for the Gyrotonic Level 1 Foundation Course. During this course students focus on gaining experience, and developing a personal understanding of the exercises on the Pre-Training Course exercise list. Prerequisites: A basic understanding of the Gyrotonic, level 1, progression I exercises. Students typically take ten or more classes with a Certified Gyrotonic Trainer to aquire enough experience to begin this course.

Conducted by: A Gyrotonic Pre-Trainer or a Gyrotonic Master Trainer. Duration: Minimum 6 days/30 hours

Upon successful completion: Once students have successfully completed the Gyrotonic Level 1 Pre-Training Course, they may proceed to the Gyrotonic Level 1 Foundation Course.

3 - GYROTONIC LEVEL 1 FOUNDATION TEACHER TRAINING

12-day course (60 hours in total)

An intensive course conducted by Authorized Master Trainer Billy Macagnone. Upon successful completion you are issued a Certificate of Apprenticeship and you can begin providing instruction to clients.

4 - APPRENTICESHIP REQUIREMENTS

As an Apprentice, you have 18 months to log a specific amount of teaching client hours and to attend a Supervised Apprentice Review course with a Master Trainer. Course requirements are:

- Gyrotonic: 60 hours of Teaching Client Hours and 30 hours of Supervised Apprentice Hours with a Master Trainer.

5 - FINAL CERTIFICATION

Once you have successfully completed your Apprenticeship Period, which is determined by your Master Trainer, you enroll in a final 3 day/15 hour Final Certification Course. In America, these courses are typically conducted in Miami, FL. The certification course must be taken 6 to 18 months after your Foundation training. After your Certification, you will be able to attain added specialty equipment training as well as advanced level 2 training.
