YBRŪ Practitioner Certification Program
Anyone who has had some experience with YBR, wishes to go deeper into their own self-evaluation and possibly become a certified practitioner is welcome to enroll in the Phase 1 part of our certification program. To progress into the second phase of the program an application must be submitted.
The YBR Certification program encompasses 58 class hours divided into two phases. All classes are accredited by: NCBTMB, Florida State Continuing Education, NATA, and the College of Massage Therapists of British Colombia.
Note: You are not certified to teach after completing phase 1.
Experiential anatomy lessons are the core of the YBR curricula. This provides students with the foundation needed to develop confident therapeutic skills. We start you at the beginning feeling your own muscles from origin to insertion. Knowing how to find and feel your own muscles are crucial to problem solving and helping others to heal themselves. Teaching skills are gradually integrated with ongoing study and practice of YBR routines so that students get YBR into their own bodies and they empower their own students and clients to become fixers of their own bodies.
Internships are an ideal way to immerse yourself in YBR. They are available in the NYC studio for Phase 2 students who would like to practice what they have learned in a structured and supportive learning environment. The internship will consist of a combination of taking classes and assistant teaching for five days. A maximum of two interns will be permitted in the studio weekly.
