Inside the Level 2 Course
The Level 2 course provides an opportunity for the trainer to refine their training skills over two days of classroom work, one-on-one training, and group sessions. Students should come prepared to be deeply engaged. Classroom sessions are discussion-based, and each student will lead individual and small-group sessions. Peers and instructors provide guidance and feedback throughout the weekend.

Discussion-based classroom sessions develop participants through adaptable real-time consideration of specific coaching questions with instructors and peers.

Participants receive direct feedback from peers and instructors in one-on-one coaching settings.

Group coaching opportunities refine participants’ abilities to teach, see, and correct individual movement while managing a larger group in a dynamic environment.

Daily group workouts help participants put theory into practice.
