NMP Somatic Education
Repattern your body through natural movement.
Neuro-Muscular Patterning
NMP Somatics™ Foundations
Foundational Training in Neuromuscular Re-Patterning and Somatic Movement Education
Develop a practical understanding of nervous-system-based somatic movement, neuromuscular re-patterning, and the patterns that influence tension, movement, posture and control.
How the Foundations Training Works
Progress through the foundational movement training, teaching practice, certification, and advanced pathways.
Modules 1–3: Available online or in person
Module 4: Hands-on training, offered in person only
Teaching permissions during training
After completing each Module, eligible teachers-in-training may begin teaching:
After Module 1: NMP – NeuroReset™ 25
After Module 2: NMP – NeuroReset™ 25 and 45
After Module 3: NMP – NeuroReset™ 25, 45, and 75
Teaching is permitted within the applicable NMP teacher-in-training guidelines.
After completing Modules 1–3, the required teaching practice, final project, and certification exam, eligible graduates may earn the designation:
Certified Somatic Exercise Teacher – NMP Method, Level 1
Module 4 introduces foundational hands-on NMP Somatics work, including assisted pandiculation, body-image exploration, breathing, walking, and advanced facilitation. Graduates may incorporate the approved techniques taught in Module 4 into private somatic sessions within their existing professional scope of practice.
One foundation. Three advanced pathways.
NMP Somatics™ Foundations is the shared entry point into:
* Movement Teaching Pathway
* Clinical Somatic Education Pathway
* Somatic Yoga Pathway
Advanced coursework, practicum, mentorship, observation hours, and specialized modules are currently in development.
