Contents of the Course

 

Part 1

Getting prepared: 3 months of self-study with training documentation (prior to course attendance)

The Level 1 Basics documentation consists of two manuals. The first one gives you a background on the CANTIENICA® vivatomy; it provides a glossary, elaborates on the basics of "diaphragm-based" breathing and pelvic floor training, and contains precise and detailed instructions for 75 exercises depicted in more than 100 photographs.

 

The second part instructs you on the unique CANTIENICA® coaching which, together with the exercises, makes the method so extraordinarily successful. We strongly recommend using both manuals during your self-study phase. The better prepared you are, the more you will benefit from attending the on-site course.

 

Part 2

Getting to know and applying the CANTIENICA® vivatomy: 5 days on-site course

• Alignment of the bones, based on the upright and straightened spine

• Use of the diaphragm as an intermediate floor in the body

• Pelvic floor

• Diaphragm

• Activating and using 100 % of the musculature, including diaphragm and autochthonous muscles

Part 3

Gathering practice experience: teach what you learned – with the knowledge acquired in part two you are ready to do so right away.

In assuming that every person is an individual and as such absolutely unique the CANTIENICA® Method is strictly empirical. A qualified self-evaluation system will support you in completing 90 hours of CANTIENICA® Teaching practice in groups or with individuals.

 

Part 4

Deepening your knowledge and exchanging experiences: follow-up course based on the concrete needs of course attendants (raised by questionnaire).

12 hours (2 days); date and place yet to be determined. Practical work on exercises, case studies.
