Certification Process:

Taking a one or two week course from Plettenberg Movement is just one part of the process in becoming a certified instructor. Everyone must go through four steps to become a well-educated instructor in the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM®, and we have summarized them below. For the specific and official requirements to become a certified instructor, please visit www.gyrotonic.com

  1. Pre-training. This entails taking a course, or the required number of pre-training hours, from a certified pre-trainer BEFORE one enrolls in a GYROTONIC® foundation course or GYROKINESIS® course. Plettenberg Movement has certified pre-trainers that can provide individuals and groups the pre-training required.
  2. Completing the Teacher Training course. This refers to the GYROTONIC® foundation course and the GYROKINESIS® course also, to name just two.
  3. Apprenticing. This entails teaching and logging a minimum number of hours during a set time period. The GYROTONIC® foundation course requires a specified number of review hours with a Master Trainer.
  4. Final Certifiaction. This requires the completion of a certification workshop held by Juliu Horvath, the scheduling of which can be found on the GYROTONIC® website.

Prerequisites:

The prerequisites for both GYROTONIC® and GYROKIENSIS® programs can be satisfied with a signed letter from a certified pre-trainer stating you have successfully fulfilled the pre-training requirements as they are listed on the Gyrotonic website.
