Education
The Movement Study deeply values instructor and client education. Opportunities for continued learning span from casual study sessions to continuing education workshops, and a full teacher training program.
Study Sessions
Informal discussion-based Study Sessions (in-person and virtual) engage our movement community, encourage autonomy, and support self care and development. Appropriate for ANY practitioner, client or student, these group sessions will increase your movement knowledge and feel empowered. Recordings available to all participants.
Upcoming Session
Breathing From the Inside
November 22, 2026 | 1-2:30pm
Fee: $65
early bird code: Breathe $50 until 11/1
Join Clarice Marshall for an experiential workshop exploring how we can deepen into natural breathing, or what she calls Breathing from the Inside.
This 90-minute session will introduce simple techniques you can integrate into your daily life and movement practice. Through observation and the use of two small props we will expand our awareness, enrich our learning experience, and enhance our understanding of the physical experience of breathing. From exploring the breath itself to applying what we discover through simple pedestrian movement and beyond, we’ll investigate how a more intimate awareness of breathing can influence the way we move, sense, and experience ourselves.
Open to instructors, clients, and movement enthusiasts. Offered in person only
Workshops
Studying movement and how it affects the body and the mind is an ongoing journey. At The Movement Study, continuing education workshops are curated to provide cutting-edge research and inspire clients and professionals alike. Offered quarterly, these workshops will be led by top-notch movement and wellness experts and will be available in person and virtual simultaneously.
