Well, Hey there, Trainer!

 CONTINUING PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR CERTIFIED TRAINERS

In order to ensure that Lessac Kinesensics is, and continues to be, relevant and responsive to the ever-changing zeitgeist of bodyvoice training, and to uphold the highest standards of inclusive practices, all Certified Trainers wishing to sustain their LK Certification status must meet the following requirements over a 5-year period, commencing January 1, 2024. (Trainers who are certified after 2024 will begin their 5-year period on January 1 of the year following their certification.  

We believe the continuous refreshing of, and engagement with, our broader community in practice is at the heart of Kinesensics, and will benefit our Trainers and the LTRI as a whole, by enhancing our professional standing in the world of bodyvoice pedagogies. 

Please note that all Continuing Professional Development (“CPD”) requirements may apply toward Master Teacher (link to come) candidacy.

Also note that Retired Member CPD requirements ask for only half of the total hours required for working members, and service to the LTRI in any capacity counts for retirees.
