"What I love most about being an sMove! trainer is that it never becomes boring.
Every training is different. I can explore new themes, focus on different challenges that interest me at the moment, and create a training that fit the group and the situation. I can experiment, be creative, choose different levels of difficulty, and keep developing my own way of teaching.
Even after hundreds of trainings and many years of teaching at least one session every week, I am still genuinely curious about the next one. I actually look forward to my own classes 😉.
What surprised me most is how well it also works online. The connection, the learning, and the experience are still there.
Over time, many participants say they really start to need it—and I understand what they mean. I feel the same way. sMove! is not only about movement, flexibility, or fitness. It refreshes and trains inner abilities that are easy to lose in everyday life: attention, awareness, adaptability, focus, curiosity, and the ability to respond to new situations.
One of the most rewarding parts for me is seeing people discover this for themselves. Some stay for years, and the community keeps growing. Watching others become curious, engaged, and inspired by the practice is something I deeply enjoy.
That is why, after all these years, sMove! continues to inspire me. It keeps me learning, discovering, and growing alongside the people I teach."
~ Barbel Singer, sMove! Teacher, Berlin

"sMove! is a movement class unlike anything I had tried before. There's no choreography or perfect technique. These new body movements have enabled me to discover new possibilities within myself.
In over twenty years with sMove! I have never been bored once. It has taught me to experience my body as strong and capable, and has given me a sense of completeness that I carry into everyday life. I use it almost daily to work through difficult situations and reconnect with parts of my body that I tend to neglect.
The best thing about the teacher training was that we learned through movement, not dry theory. This was perfect for the way I prefer to learn.
Teaching sMove! since 2017 has given me the chance to share something that has genuinely changed my life. Seeing people light up as they move in unexpected ways I never get tired of. Every class is different and every class is fun. I have never once stood in front of a group wishing I were somewhere else.“
~ Mirjam Köglsperger, sMove! Teacher, Munich
★★★★★
“Teaching sMove is a rejuvenating experience for both yourself and your students; it involves teaching a language that, at first, seems surprising to participants, but from the very first session they feel an unusual connection to their bodies. Better still, they no longer seek to refer to sensations of what feels good that they have already experienced, but rather to a sense of discovery and curiosity.
You see people becoming freer and more present. It’s the same for you; it’s impossible to get bored teaching this. This training allows us to think outside the box in a kinesthetic way; I apply it to foster creativity in all areas of life, and to voice work in my workshops.”
~ Esther Cohen, sMove! Teacher, France
★★★★★
“I have been teaching sMove! Since 2016, creating and leading more than 400 classes, both in-person and online.
sMove! is an extraordinary tool that offers countless possibilities for movement, often allowing us to explore our bodies in ways we never imagined possible. It helps create inner silence, release tension, raise energy levels, and change our mood. At the same time, it is a joyful, light-hearted practice with an incredible capacity to facilitate deep personal transformation.
After nearly ten years of teaching sMove!, I have never experienced a moment of boredom. Every class is unique. This is one of the inherent strengths of the practice: it opens the door to endless creative variations, making each session new and unique while continually motivating people to discover new layers of their personal potential.”
~ Roberto Espinagosa, sMove! Teacher, Barcelona
