What does the Program’s Courses consist of?
The GSY Practitioner Levels 1 and 2 and GSY Teacher Level 3 online courses are designed as follows:
Course Content
Somatic Movement Flow® Videos
Demonstrations by James and GSY Faculty of the 85+ individual, stand-alone SMFs, including expanded detailed explanations, with emphasis on the latest tips, modifications, and enhancements.
Supplemental Videos
- Detailed presentations by James Knight explaining the neuroscience, history, philosophy and methodology of GSY.
- Full-length classes of James teaching, intended to inspire how SMFs are selected and sequenced for home practices and/or classes & workshops.
- Samplings of student practice sessions captured during in-person courses. This is purposeful in demonstrating how GSY can be personally translated and interpreted by each practitioner regardless of age or skill level.
Instruction Style
The courses are Self-paced as opposed to Instructor-paced. Self-paced instruction proceeds based on learner response. As such, these courses do not follow a set schedule. All of the course materials are available as soon as the course begins, and the courses are constructed in such a way that the student proceeds from one topic or unit to the next at their own speed. Also, assignments and exams do not have due dates.
Course Term
On average it can take six months to complete each of the Program’s Advanced Study courses (L1, L2, & L3). With that being said these Courses are self-paced and each participant can take the time they need. Please email us if a life event has prevented you to complete this Program in a reasonable amount of time.
James Knight's teaching style is highly experiential:
One of the main tenets ascribed to Gentle Somatic Yoga & Somatic Wellness® is that of it being a dynamically evolving practice. This means that modifications and enhancements to its method are inherent in its future.
We are absolutely 100% committed to the success of our students, and we wholeheartedly support their success from the moment they enroll, onward.
To that end, there is also a continuing education forum of certified GSY teachers that students are invited to join once certified. In this forum, James and his colleagues share ideas and innovations, along with the latest greatest tips, modifications, and enhancements to the Somatic Movement Flows. Outside of that, James and his Team at GSY are always happy to respond to questions and commentary, and we encourage student engagement, feedback and input.
Interested in Becoming Certified?
For those of you who are yoga teachers, yoga therapists, body workers, or healthcare practitioners, once certified, you are endorsed as a GSY Practitioner.
