Level 2 TT with Amanda Brown 100 hrs  70 hours contact time over 5 weekends plus a weekly commitment to suitable classes and Coursework (written and practice teaching)

.

.

This training draws on Amanda’s vast teaching and learning experiences over the last 35 years and offers a wide range of techniques and modalities which she has found to work well both on their own and  synergistically.

This training may differ slightly from many restorative trainings in that  Amanda has included much more comprehensive material and is completed over 5 months which will give you the opportunity to really dive in and embody what you are learning. Amanda feels that this way of working requires a depth of knowledge to be able to confidently hold the challenges that slowing down and pausing can present for students. It will also enable you to take your work into different contexts. This gentle approach is very needed in the world right now.

We will develop the skills to invite people into resting states using a reflective and experiential process. Creative experimentation is encouraged and underpinned by  anatomical principles, neuroscience and intelligent sequencing and will help you develop an understanding of your own strengths as a teacher.
