What else do I need to participate?
In addition to providing your own FeetUp Trainer, you will need a stable internet connection and a laptop with audio/visual capabilities (microphone/camera). Students will be able to ask questions via text during the teaching components to be answered at the end of each section by the instructor, along with regular audio check-ins for more personalized instruction.
What's the difference between Online Certification & In-Person Training?
As the weekend teacher training requires a large amount of interactive in-person partner work, we offer a specialized online certification to cover the most important part of a healthy FeetUp practice: SAFETY!
The online course only offers 1/3 of the required material of the official teacher training curriculum, hence the certification title is different (FeetUp Inversion Safety Specialist).
Our goal is create a pathway to support FeetUp enthusiasts who are ready to share their practice with others in a safe and informed way.
Although you won't be a fully certified FeetUp Instructor (yet), you will have the tools and insight to safely incorporate the Trainer into your existing practice and help others do the same.
Students who take this online course will receive a discount to enroll in a live training of their choice so they can enjoy the full experience and eventually become a certified FeetUp Instructor!
