Admission requirements for
Anti-gymnastique® training

I.Becoming an Anti-gymnastique® practitioner is a rigorous process. Teaching Anti-gymnastique® requires proficiency in difficult and subtle techniques, including specific knowledge of human anatomy and physiology. More importantly, teaching Anti-gymnastique® requires introspection, the ability to observe and to listen, and the ability to communicate one’s knowledge simply and clearly, and in sensitive and concrete terms.

II.Candidates must have practiced Anti-gymnastique® for at least one year with a licensed practitioner who will provide them with a certificate of attendance.

III.Candidates must possess at least a high school degree and be at least 25 years old. A diploma in psychology, physiotherapy and/or psychomotor studies would be an asset. We reserve the right to accept non high school graduates who possess a high level of maturity and human qualities.

IV. Candidates will forward a request letter along with their résumé, as well as a handwritten letter outlining their reasons for wanting to undertake Anti-gymnastique® training.

V.Candidates will then be interviewed by a trainer. Following the interview, selected candidates will participate to an intensive 10-day workshop given by a trainer.

VI.Following the intensive workshop, selected candidates will be allowed to undertake the training.

VII. Being accepted for training does not guarantee that a student will be granted a license to teach Anti-gymnastique®. Madame Bertherat and her trainers reserve the right to refuse to grant a license to a student who would not have reached the required level of competency after the two years of training.
