Internships

 

We wish to have the highest caliber of trainers properly and safely utilizing this system. In order to ensure the quality and integrity of the program we have a 6-month internship. The best way to remember what you've learned in Level I is to have additional practice under the guidance and support of an IBS instructor. We wish to support you in developing your skills before working on clients on a professional basis. It is also a prerequisite for those that wish to be listed as a Ki-Hara Trainer and those who wish to teach workshops promoted by Innovative Body Solutions. This program will review the level I stretches, helping you feel comfortable with your skills and technique and provide more hands on experience and feedback. The private sessions, observation times and physical tests will further enhance your understanding of the system.

Current Programs

  • NYC and Eastern PA with Susan Bianchi
  • Chicago, IL / Columbus, OH with Carrie Collins
  • Florida with Anne and Steve (due to schedule, structure and cost is different than below but will fulfill some of the requirements)
