TRAIN: The Miracle Ball Method™ Instructor Certification gives you the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally in the method. As you explore the essential components of the method, your teaching skills develop gradually and naturally from that personal experience and understanding.
TEACH: After you complete the certification course and receive your certificate, you can begin teaching others based on the level of your training you have received up to that time. This will help you grow as a teacher in the method.
LEARN: Become fluid in the language of the Method using basic MBM tools such as: Body Formula; Body Dialogue; Whole Body Moves; Check-ins & Class Structure; 12 different ball placements
INSPIRE: Join The Miracle Ball Method™ community; share experiences; educate your community; ask questions; get advice.
The Miracle Ball Method™ (MBM) is a revolutionary approach to health and fitness! This is NOT an exercise program. Exercise is designed to increase muscle tension. The MBM is designed to decrease the excess muscle tension in the body thus allowing ones own alignment system to adjust and rebalance. People are spending more and more time sitting at computers, are dealing with stress from jobs, home, and just everyday life, as a result it is very common to have chronic issues such as low back ache, neck and shoulder pain, carpel tunnel and sciatic pain, just to name a few. All these issues are difficult to relieve because most of us are not aware of how to change some key areas of the body. The Miracle Ball Method™ makes it user friendly for the average person to get results.
The MBM Instructor Certification will give you the tools to help people who suffer from a wide range of health conditions. They will also be able to continually use your services, uninterrupted by down-time resulting from these conditions based on the methods you will have learned as a certified Miracle Ball Method™ Instructor.
See “TESTIMONIALS” for positive reviews and comments about the MBM method from doctors and physical therapists, trainers and customers.
There are three levels of Certification and detailed descriptions of requirements are below:
This includes the basics of The Miracle Ball Method™. Begins to give the future teacher a personal experience with how the Method works, an understanding of 4 common ball placements, as well as different breathing methods. The combination of all of this gives the individual many combinations of classes to teach. It encourages the individual to start slowly, teaching small classes with under 8 people, and not to teach those with chronic pain, or high levels of need until they have continued with the program and have more experience.
Submit two (2) 20-30 minute videos, six months apart for review. These videos can simply show you teaching a friend, ball placement, explaining the method and observing your student. These videos should demonstrate your ability to explain the Method, observe a student and offer proper position corrections and advice.
Note: The demonstration videos are reviewed by Elaine in order for her to evaluate your comfort in communicating the Method. It is so important that we distinguish this from meditating, yoga, relaxation, exercise, trigger point therapy, and massage, to name a few. All of those are wonderful, but this is different. The directions must remain specific to the body so it can readjust and regain freedom of movement, and heal injuries. Growing in body awareness is key. We are essentially just relearning what we once knew.
Level 2 can only be taken after completion of the Level 1 training. Level 2 gives instruction on several more ball placements, increases ones skill in observing their classes, and how to identify physical issues in five (5) key areas, and how those key areas impact stress and physical discomforts. At Level 2, a person becomes more fluid in the language of teaching the Method and more skilled at troubleshooting individual needs in their classes, as well as their own needs.
A portion of the training will be on how to teach groups. This part of the training is a great way to get more time learning the benefits of the Method, as well as learning a more advanced way of teaching. Level 2 also focuses on how to stand up in front of groups of students, and lets you practice using the ‘language’ of the Method — which is completely opposite from the ‘language’ of exercise. This level is highly recommended for teaching large groups.
Submit two (2) 20-30 minute videos six months apart for review. These videos need to show two (2) group classes. If you are not teaching groups, then show a few friends in each video. These videos should demonstrate your Level 1 abilities as well as how you can effectively teach groups of people.
