Certification Procedures

Certification is a multi level process based on Demonstrated Proficiency as vouched for by the sponsorship of International Body Harmony Teachers.

Step One. Entry Level: International Practitioner certification is based on demonstrating the understanding, and the ability, to artistically apply the basic materials to International Standards.
This Requires the Sponsorship of Two Practicing International Body Harmony® Teachers
Prerequisites: 100 Hour of hands-on practice which may be satisfied by:
*Completing the five basic modules.
*Participating in the complete one-month Body Harmony residential in Queensland, Australia.
* Participation in an International Comprehensive Event where all teachers present act as personal mentors.
Upon acceptance into the Guild one is certified to begin an actual practice, either professionally or with friends and family, in a progression toward a full International Consultant Certification.

Step Two. International Consultant:
Certification occurs at an International Comprehensive and Requires the sponsorship of Four Body Harmony® Teachers beyond a simple majority, with sponsors not all practicing in the same area.
Prerequisites: Completing an individually designed 1,000 Hour program of progressive studies.
Suggested Allocation of the hours:
* 300 hours minimum of Body Harmony® classes in addition to the Initial 100 hours.
* 300 hours minimum of practical application, i.e. giving Body Harmony® sessions. Teaching sessions and Body Harmony® sessions received may also count. Each session is considered as one hour.
* 400 hours may come from appropriate and associated studies that will be considered on an individual basis.

Step Three. International Teacher.
This step is for those with the desire to explore the inherent possibilities of conscious evolution. The most effective way to understand a system is to teach it. Certification occurs only at International Comprehensives.
Prerequisites: After satisfying the requirements for Consultant Certification, the practitioner contacts Guild Headquarters and enters into an active Teacher Candidate Program.
Which begins by submitting written intentions along with a personal CV to Guild Headquarters.
