Lucid Body Teacher Training Program Overview

The Lucid Body Teacher Training is an apprenticeship program. Each apprentice works closely with Fay Simpson and a mentor on their personal teacher training path. The apprenticeship consists of two major components:

  1. The apprentice’s personal Lucid Body evolution.
  2. Learning the tools of teaching the Lucid Body Technique.

Each Apprentice will be paired with a mentor. This mentor, a certified Lucid Body teacher, will be a touchstone for you. You can schedule check-ins with them to ask in-depth questions that arise throughout the training. Your mentor will also help keep you on track with the workload and help nurture your personal Lucid Body process. The apprentice will assist and observe workshops, participate in major group teacher training intensive workshops each year, and complete specified course work.

  • Teaches fluency in the Lucid Body language in the chakras, their associations, and their common applications to character development.
  • Merges the basic foundations of anatomy, massage, yoga, modern dance and meditation as relevant to Lucid Body.
  • Focuses first-year students on learning the detailed steps of the Lucid Body exercises.

“I can honestly say that Lucid Body Teacher Training has transformed the way I approach creative expression in all areas of my life. I feel a sense of resilience that empowers me to step into the darkest and lightest corners of my self, and therefore safely guide my students to do the same. I am now equipped with a vocabulary that engages my sense of curiosity and begs of me to look underneath the surface of each experience I may encounter. This work has added a practical and prolific perspective to the work I had been previously exploring and teaching. Anyone who is seeking a blend of east and west, mind and body, need not seek any longer. In the Lucid Body I finally moved from seeker to see-er.”

– Elias Wygodny, LBTT Graduate, 2019
