Teach the Flow Form

Regardless of the style or system that you are practicing, anyone can become an Instructor or Teacher of the Flow Form.

We have two levels of Official Teaching Certification in the Flow Form, an Instructor and a Teacher.

The essential difference between an Instructor and a Teacher is that the Teacher understands the dynamics and principles associated with the Partner work.

Instructor

A Certified Instructor can list their classes on our website, they would have one full page to promote themselves and their classes with links to their website and social channels, they can also post a promotional video on that page.

Teacher

A Certified Teacher has the options available to the Instructor, plus the chance to create Instructional Videos and post it on our website and Youtube channel. The bigger we can collectively create the channel the more potential views and bigger reach your videos can extend to. There is huge potential to teach anything that is slightly related to the Flow Form, stretching, breathing, your own exercises etc. You can post in any language you want to target your audience.

In addition the Teacher has the chance to be able to teach Workshops under the Banner of the Flow Form.
