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?
Our course is designed for people who already have experience teaching movement, for example in areas like fitness, dance, or sports coaching. Our course builds on existing knowledge and teaching skills, starting from an assumed level of experience. We aren't aiming to be exclusive but simply to make sure the training works at the right level for everyone involved, ensuring we maintain the quality and professionalism of our classes and enabling us to go deeper into the teaching material that makes Psalms & Stretches so unique.
​
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.
Our next instructor training course will be over two days on the 18th-19th April 2026 via Zoom
