Develop somatic literacy, nervous system awareness, and trauma-aware teaching skills
4-Week Somatic Movement Training
for Teachers
Teaching movement involves more than technical skill, it requires attunement to students’ nervous systems and bodily states. Teachers who understand how posture, breath, tension, and attention are influenced by the nervous system can respond with clarity, safety, and presence. Somatic education equips teachers with tools to read their students’ bodies, regulate their own systems, and create trauma-aware learning environments.

About the educator behind the work: Sara Salehi
Sara Salehi is a neuroscience-trained somatic practitioner, educator, and registered acupuncturist with over 13 years of teaching experience. Her work bridges neuroscience, Traditional Chinese Medicine, movement, and somatic education to help people understand how their nervous systems respond to stress, change, and daily life.​
Sara’s approach is grounded in a simple philosophy. Education creates choice. Practical tools build capacity. Restoration allows the nervous system to integrate. Rather than pushing for change, her work supports clarity, regulation, and trust in the body’s natural intelligence.
