The programme provides comprehensive training in the BASI mat repertoire and its wide range of applications. For many participants, it’s the first step towards the Comprehensive Program.

The curriculum is internationally standardised and identical for all BASI students worldwide. The training comprises 24 contact hours across six modules, covering theory, practical training and movement analysis.
