The Body Stress Release Academy
Becoming a Body Stress Release practitioner is a life-changing experience and offers a fulfilling, highly rewarding and satisfying career that enhances the wellbeing of others.
Courses are run at the European branch of the Body Stress Release Academy in the beautiful Norfolk Broads, England and at the original Body Stress Release Academy in Rondevlei on the famous Garden Route of South Africa.
Course overview
This is a full-time residential course. The curriculum covers anatomy, principles and philosophy of Body Stress Release, the Body Stress Release technique (theory and practical), communication, client management and the Body Stress Release Constitution. Class sizes are limited, as a great deal of one-to-one teaching is provided. Students are expected to work together outside of the classroom to revise the theory and practise the technique learnt each day.
In England, the course runs from November to March, with a two or three week break over the Christmas and New Year period. Class hours are 9am to 4pm, Monday to Friday for a total of 16 weeks (with one half day per week) and includes a two-week apprenticeship.
In South Africa, the course runs from the beginning of May to the end of September each year, with a 10-day break in June. Class hours are 9am to 1pm on three days, and 9am to 3pm on two days. The course lasts a total of 21 weeks including a three-week apprenticeship which takes place in the final month.
