WHY BUDY FLOW?
BUDY Flow training has been proven to enhance the following aspects of life:
Movement quality
Self-awareness
Resilience
Creativity
Thanks to the support of the Cultural Foundation of Thuringia in 2021, the effectiveness of the pedagogical technique on the above-mentioned aspects was comprehensively examined and validated. During this support period, the technique was further developed and refined. The contents of this training are based on Brigitte Breternitz's more than 25 years of experience in group and individual instruction in the fields of dance, movement, and yoga.
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN IN THIS TRAINING?
Your mind will learn what your body and soul have known for a long time. You will learn effective pedagogical tools and techniques to merge dance, yoga, and bodywork in a contemporary and enjoyable way. Through this training, you will bring a new perspective and depth to your own movements and teaching, stimulate your creativity, and take home the valuable practical experience of this new approach.
WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THIS TRAINING?
When you merge in the moment, and dance happens in your body effortlessly, the dance replaces the movements of the mind, and you feel free. The BUDY Flow Teacher Training emphasizes the principle of simplicity and obviousness through working with the elements. By employing specific sequences and qualities of movement, a state of inner harmony is achieved. We learn to execute dance intuitively, yet with clear focus and defined movement quality. This approach allows us to establish a deeper connection with our bodies and achieve a freer and more refined mode of expression. "An effective training in dance and movement art does not necessarily require excessive complexity; it can be simple, natural, and obvious, and still yield remarkable results."
WHO IS THE TEACHER TRAINING SUITABLE FOR?
The training is primarily intended for individuals who already have a basic understanding of pedagogical bodywork and seek inspiration to expand their offerings. It serves as professional development and deepening for all those pursuing a holistic approach.
This Training is for:
Dancers, Dance teachers, Theatre educators, Dance therapists, Yoga teachers, Regular yoga practitioners, Physical education teachers, Fitness trainers, Movement therapists, Coaches, Process facilitators, Spaceholders
*The training also enables non-teachers to undergo life-changing experiences through intensive self-awareness.

WHERE DOES THE TRAINING TAKE PLACE?
BUDY ACADEMY, Pfortenstr. 23, 98693 Ilmenau/Thr.
Our desire is that our participants fully immerse themselves in these new experiences for 7 days and understand their own process as part of the training. The time should also be perceived as a retreat from daily life. The surroundings of the BUDY Academy are filled with beautiful nature, and the small town of Ilmenau invites relaxation. The lovingly designed rooms of the BUDY Academy are located in a historic half-timbered house and are ideal for immersing oneself in another world and introspection. Taking this time and space for reflection during the training is of great advantage.
