Instructor Training
Psalms & Stretches is an exercise programme like no other: mobility and strength exercises, wonderful stretches and our signature moving meditations - "Psalm Sequences" - where we bring the scripture alive through simple choreographed movement sequences.
We provide our instructors with all the resources needed to deliver this tried and tested class, so you can focus on holding the space for people to encounter God. (That sounds like a big responsibility, but we ask the Holy Spirit help us!). Because our class is more than just teaching movement - it's what God does with our humble skills that's the exciting part. We are Christians who believe our wellbeing starts with our relationship with God, so we put Him at the centre of our programme.
​
Psalms & Stretches is a powerful tool for ministry, it's innovative outreach, an alternative way to worship and a way to care for the wellbeing needs of your community in a practical and creative way.

Who can become a P&S instructor?
We know there are some amazing movement instructors out there, who have the gifts and talents from God needed to facilitate Psalms & Stretches classes - and we can't wait to meet more of you! We're looking for Christians who already have movement teaching experience in fitness or in dance, who are ready to bring their existing skills to our programme and use Psalms & Stretches as a vehicle to worship God and minister to others.
​
If you come from a fitness background, then any Level 2 or above fitness qualification is accepted. If you come from a dance background then please tell us about your dance training and your teaching experience. If you are unsure about our pre-requisite criteria please do get in touch.
