Whether you're here to deepen your own practice or you feel ready to step in, Silver Garden Begginer to Intermediate to Teacher Training is built to take you there.

Over three months, you'll study the language of teaching, build your own brand, and learn how to hold a room — all the foundational shapes, the anatomy behind them, and the art of guiding others. You'll be guided every step of the way by Selena and Luna, with a dedicated mentor alongside you throughout the immersion to support your growth.

From there, you'll learn the foundations and put them straight into practice — hands-on, in group lab settings, assisting and teaching real movement under guidance.

We recommend a minimum of 20 hours of practice before applying, so you arrive with a solid base to build on.
