Practitioner program

The practitioner program is a personalised learning process involving ongoing one-on-one mentoring. We work with competitive athletes, single mothers, people struggling with chronic injuries, yoga teachers, public servants, tradies, physiotherapists, personal trainers and everything in between.

If you really want to maximise your physical potential, the practitioner program is for you. There are no prerequisites; we will take you from where you are to where you want to go, regardless of your starting point.

Members of the practitioner program (‘practitioners’) receive customised training plans according to their current abilities, goals, access to equipment, interests and schedule. As a practitioner, you will have everything you need to bring about significant transformations in your body, including exercise videos and descriptions, clearly delineated instructions for each training session, explanations of how to progress from week to week and more. All that is required on your part is quality work, consistency and attention to detail.

Students joining the practitioner program can choose from a selection of core and elective projects, including segmentation, sensitivity, elasticity, conditioning, mobility, handstands, ring work and soft acrobatics. A small theory component is also included for all practitioners.

The practitioner program is not a passive learning process; you are expected to take an active role in your self-development and education, closely studying all the material and researching the effects of the tools we share on your body. The minimum time commitment is four 75-minute training sessions per week plus two 15-minute practice sessions per day. Additional time must also be allocated for reviewing learning materials and communicating with the teacher.

If you are eager to learn and willing to do the work, you will be surprised by what’s possible for you.

The Teacher: Thomas Emerson

The practitioner program is administered by the founder of Praksis, Thomas Emerson, and one of his closest students and founder of Meditative Monkey, Ben Byfield. You will remain in ongoing contact with your teachers so they can set appropriate goals for you to achieve, ensure you’re progressing consistently, help you deal with any issues that arise along the way and provide extensive feedback on the quality of your work. Watch the video below to learn more about Tom and head to Ben’s website for his story.
