About SMFT Certification : Stay Ahead of the Longevity and Musculoskeletal Conversation and bring transformational change into a client's quality of life

SMFT — Slow Movement Fitness Training is the first certified training system that teaches fitness, yoga, and movement professionals how to integrate breath, core stability (ISS), joint re-mapping, and nervous system regulation into every movement discipline.


This certification gives you:


  • A structured, teachable framework you can apply to strength, mobility, yoga, and recovery training.
  • Tools to bridge wellbeing and performance through nervous system-led coaching.
  • The ability to design intelligent, longevity-focused programmes for clients of all levels.


You entered the movement, fitness, and wellbeing industry for a reason — to help people improve their quality of life, measured not just in physical ability, but in psychological wellbeing too. Somewhere along the way, the physiological began to dominate the conversation.

SMFT training realigns you with those original intentions — giving you the tools to unite these two dimensions through the power of movement, by working with the body’s deeper operating systems. And for those in more introspective practices, learning to re-frame how we communicate without losing the essence of somatics is reclaiming a vital part of the conversation.


Equip yourself with the complete toolkit — including modern, science-led approaches — so you can speak confidently to broader, more discerning audiences, and lead the movement shift that’s already underway.

What You'll Learn:

  • Breath regulation and Intrinsic Stabilising System (ISS) activation
  • Nervous system co-regulation for movement
  • Joint mobility re-mapping and load management
  • Layered progressions from stability → strength → dynamic performance
  • Integrating SMFT into existing disciplines for better client outcomes


Who It’s For


  • Personal Trainers & Strength Coaches
  • High Performance Coaches seeking nervous system + science led strategies for the holistic edge in managing key assets
  • Yoga, Pilates & Mobility Instructors
  • Movement Educators & Rehab Specialists looking for somatic based strategies without the need for longer term 200 hr investment
  • Movers interested in nervous system functioning specifically in relation to its interaction with movement burnout minus the confusing science

Certification Outcomes


By the end of this course you will be able to:


  • Apply SMFT training principles to your chosen discipline
  • Coach nervous system-led training for longevity and performance
  • Develop the lay person friendly language needed to communicate complex science concepts with clients with confidence
  • Adapt the SMFT framework to 1:1 and group formats
  • Confidently teach techniques that protect joints, build resilience, and improve mobility, future proofing against the trend in fitness and wellbeing towards longevity and rise in MSK injuries
