Step into a training designed to expand your capacity as a facilitator and deepen your understanding of embodied transformation. This Biodevelopment Somatic Movement & Expression Training offers a powerful blend of movement, expression, music, and inner work, supporting you to guide others with confidence, presence, and care.
Intense, heart-opening, and deeply transformative, this workshop is built on a mature curriculum that has supported hundreds of students over the past ten years. It is both a treasured learning experience and a meaningful path for those seeking somatic education with real depth.
Graduates of the Biodevelopment Dance Therapy Teacher Training are invited to join an optional, complimentary two-week internship at the headquarters in Koh Phangan, Thailand. This opportunity is available for up to two years after graduation and is intended for those who want to keep refining their teaching skills.
The program takes place on one of the most beautiful and spacious campuses in Thailand, and it is the only beachfront retreat of its kind. The 7000m2 residential campus includes three beachfront multi-purpose halls, an air-conditioned hall, a massage shop, a restaurant, a garden area, and more.
Biodevelopment® was created by Ishi, founder and lead teacher of Samma Karuna. Drawing from his experience in Biodanza with Rolando Toro and many years of teaching Tantra, the system brings together the playful musicality of Biodanza with the depth and insight of Tantra in one transformative approach.
This is a long-established, non-dogmatic Tantra school rooted in love, simplicity, and compassion. The course has been shaped over more than ten years by senior teachers and a committed community, creating a strong and supportive learning environment.
If you arrive four weeks early, you can join Karma Yoga, attend daily yoga classes, and settle into the community before training begins. Volunteers receive a 20% discount on the original course fee.
This course is designed for people who want to use movement, expression, and music as tools for inner healing and for supporting the health of body, mind, and spirit. It is also for those who want to become professional Biodevelopment facilitators.
The training is divided into two modules: Module 1 deepens your personal somatic practice, while Module 2 provides the teaching methods needed to lead your own sessions, classes, and workshops.
Module 1, the Practitioner Training, is a 3-day module focused on the tools, exercises, and techniques of Biodevelopment. It can be taken as a transformative workshop or as the first step toward teaching certification. Module 2, the Facilitator Training, is available only after completing Module 1 successfully.
Each day combines conscious movement, theory, and integration in a balanced flow. The schedule is carefully designed to support nervous system regulation while helping you master the tools of the training.
Accommodation can be added during booking, with options ranging from shared dorms to private bungalows with amenities and sea views. Stays are available either on campus or at the partner resort next door.
