BBM Teacher Training - Level 1 Course (40 hours)

This 40-hour BBM Level -1 Teacher Training is the first part of the three-level teacher training sequence and designed for individuals interested in teaching BBM practices to individuals or groups.  Please Note: The BBM Fundamentals Course is a required pre-requisite for the Level-1 Teacher Training.

 

Participants who complete all sessions and who demonstrate competence in teaching BBM core techniques will receive a Breath-Body-Mind Level-1 Teaching Certification and are expected upon completion, and to maintain certification, to:

  • Advertise and promote BBM practices 
    • Assure colleagues are informed of BBM practices, updates, and access to the link to join. 
    • Support organizational change that allows staff to attend free, virtual BBM sessions. 
  • Annually teach/assist one BBM information session with approximately 5-40 attendees to either their agency’s staff, community attendees 
  • Participate in one trauma-informed and diversity, equity and inclusion focused trainings.  
  • Participate in a monthly Learning Community provided to trained teachers by NYS TINRC staff to support their implementation of BBM practices in their organization and/or community.   

 

 

It is important to commit to all of the days and times of the training course to get the full benefits and skills necessary to teach others.  The schedule is created so that each day’s teaching and practices flow in a specific sequence, it is difficult to recreate that if you miss a day.  It is important to notify the teachers as soon as possible, if you need to miss a training day.  Those who are unable to demonstrate competence by the end of this training will be able to attend additional weekly practice sessions towards certification.
