anatomy and movement teacher training
June 19th - 29th, 2021
This summer we are beyond excited to present our Anatomy & Movement Teacher Training in person (or online), at the Warrior Bridge NYC studio! This training is the product of decades of personal and professional practice of movement and study of anatomy.
This program offers insights of our common anatomy and movement potentials from a variety of movement influences. Based off of this body of knowledge, we will curate a toolbox drawing from the practices of physical therapy, mobility & strength science, handbalancing, inversions, acrobatics, yoga and other movement arts.
This training is designed for current and prospective teachers who are seeking a science-based perspective to inform their teaching, sequencing and programming as well as proven tools and techniques from which to approach movement practices such as handstands and flexibility training, yoga, meditation & breath work and so much more!

acro warrior teacher training
July 31st - August 10th, 2021
We are so excited to be hosting our next Partner Acrobatics Teacher Training in person (or online) at Warrior Bridge this summer! Our Acro Warrior training is about empowering students and communities through the practice of partner acrobatics. In our 10 day immersion we will explore acro skillsets and community topics that we have found to be the most relevant sharing partner acrobatics with recreational communities.
While there will be significant time spent moving our bodies both in partner and group acro skills and solo movement practices that compliment our acro, training will also feature presentations and discussions curated to give our trainees tools for coaching individuals and groups, leading events/classes/workshops, understanding issues and conflicts that can arise in acro communities, and professional development and goal setting.
Our training methodology of practicing partner acrobatics emphasizes safety, accessibility, inclusivity and empowerment. Trainees will experience a teaching methodology that integrates anatomy knowledge and solo movement preparation to be able safely and successfully practice partner acro.
