STM Teacher Training Module 1

Module 1: STM Self-Paced Teacher Training – Online & Face-to-Face 1:1 

Regulate. Restore. Remember Stillness.

This first module is a trauma-informed, self-paced 1:1 training with STM founder Tracy Whitton, offering a deeply embodied introduction into the art of nervous system repair through Stillness.

In the world of restorative and somatic movement, stillness is not passive—it’s a powerful medicine. It is the core condition for the body to feel safe enough to release tension, reset the nervous system, and return to a regulated state. In this training, you will learn to embody stillness first—to feel it in your own system, to meet your own patterns, and to cultivate the kind of presence that allows others to do the same.

We can only hold the nervous systems of others in safety when we have met, regulated, and nurtured our own.

A Trauma-Informed Approach Rooted in Nervous System Care

This therapeutic training offers a nervous system-led framework, inviting you into the subtle realms of energy, breath, body awareness, and somatic safety. You will learn how to read the body’s signals, adjust with consent and care, and meet each person exactly where they are—emotionally, physically, energetically, and spiritually.

This training honours:

• Autonomy and boundaries in touch, adjustment, and presence

• The pace of the nervous system (which is slow, still, and subtle)

• A compassionate approach to how we create safety in stillness

• Restorative repair of the endocrine and nervous systems through therapeutic sequencing

• Working with the body’s natural wisdom, without force
