[AdamS.]

I am *so* there.

I'm so excited, my English has fallen into the "Valley Girl" category.

Really looking forward to seeing you again, Coach! :D

[Scott Sonnon]

Looking forward to training you again, Adam!! You're going to love Bellingham.

[LEO4HIM]

I think I've seen it before, but can someone tell me what the prerequisites are for attending a CST certification course. I've been doing Intu-Flow (beginner) for three months now, am doing a Century program with the mini's, and have a pair of 10# Clubbells that after reading the big book am "playing around" with? With money a factor (I no longer use credit), am not in a position to buy a bunch of additional items in order to attend a certification.

With initial certification, if obtained, would one be able to teach CST in a commercial and/or private setting?

Also, which airport would you fly into near Bellingham and are the hotels/accomodations far enough away to require a rental car?

And one last thing. I've done this before in Blauer certifications in Canada. Would attendees be interested in staying together to cut down on the hotel costs?

Sorry for so many questions.

Take care and stay safe.

Chad Harding

[Scott Sonnon]

Requirements beneath.

Yes, certification gives the right to teach commercially.

Bellingham has an excellent airport. Seattle and Vancouver major ports from which you could shuttle, bus or rental car - both approximately 1 hour - 1.5 hours away traffic and border crossing dependent.

Yes, people bunk together in the same room to cut costs.

Requirements for this Seminar

General Physical Preparation BEFORE the seminar:

Be able to perform before the seminar 3 sets of 12 repetitions with a rating of technique (RT) of 6 or higher on a scale of 1-10 (10 being 'perfect form') each of the basic exercises from the Clubbell® Training for Circular Strength DVD (not the Combination Routines). You may administer this self-test over as long a time as you wish, but all sets of each exercise must be performed at once (i.e. 3 sets of 12 reps of arm cast one day, and 3 sets of 12 repetitions of front pendulums the next.) The goal of this self-exam is to prepare the general endurance, strength and form (breathing, movement and structure) for participating in the seminar.

Also be prepared with an experience of Prasara Body-Flow and Intu-Flow® DVDs, as well as having read through the CST Magazine.

If you wish to pursue Certification, here are your expectations DURING the seminar (pursuing certification is not mandatory since many individuals register just to improve their CST Athleticism.)

You are always being tested if you are pursuing instructor, coach or head coach certification, although the exam is different for each level. It is not a 'pay for certification' seminar. To receive CST Instructor Certification you must successfully complete and maintain the following four examinations:

I. CST Physical Competency: (administered at seminar)

1. The performance of all basic exercises (featured in the Intu-Flow®, Clubbell® and Prasara Body-Flow DVDs respectively), and all joint circle movements, with a rating of technique (RT) of 8 or higher (on a scale of 1-10; 10 being perfect form) in breathing, structure, and movement. Basic exercise refers to those individual techniques which are not combination routines and are not kinetic chains.

2. The ability to craft (at the event from a random exercise selection), perform and explain (the constituent connections) a combination routine (Clubbell® Training) and kinetic chain (Prasara Body-Flow) with a flow of RT8 or higher.

3. The ability to score half of the points required for Class III distinction in International Clubbell® Sport in 5 minutes of Mills and 5 minutes of Swipes with a 5 minute break in-between. You may choose any weight. Form is judged.

II. CST Client Interview, Poise Analysis and Program Design:
(explained and administered during the seminar)

III. CST Written Examination:
You have 1 month from the conclusion of the seminar to complete and submit your examination by email, which will accompany your instructor candidate manual. The Written Exam is revised every seminar, so do not expect to be able to use prior questions.

IV. CST Instructor Monthly After Action Report (AAR):
Certification is contingently granted upon successful completion of the above three exams. Certification remains active so long as instructors post one overview every 8 weeks of their cycles up the Training Hierarchy Pyramid (such as, "8 Weeks to Fat Burn" or "2 Months to Golf Swing"). For the 18 month period of certification, this equals 9 total AARs. The focus of being a CST Instructor is to be your own best client first! If one month lapses without an AAR, the individual forfeits certification. AARs are to be posted to the public area - Member Article Archive - so that your personal development is "out there" and others are benefitting from how you addressed and overcame your hurdles in each cycle.

[LEO4HIM]

Thanks Coach...just a couple more for now anyway:

Are all the necessary Clubbell exercises in the Big Book or do I need to purchase the Clubbell DVD?*

As far as experience with Prasara, would Flowfit I be sufficient or would I need to purchase the specific Body Flow DVD and/or book?*

*these questions appear to have been answered in the post, but I want to make sure.

This definitely appears to be the most stringent certification process I have looked into, so I just want to have all my ducks in a row! However, I also don't want to think I have to be perfect before deciding to attend.

Take care and stay safe.

[Scott Sonnon]

1. All of the exercises are in the Big Book that you will be responsible for.

2. You need to be versed in the 5 major flows seen only in the Prasara DVD.

3. It is the most rewarding and most beneficial certification in the industry!!!

I look forward to training you at Lambda!

[joelsey]

Got the confirmation AND the commitment from work that I have the time off. I have NO EXCUSE to miss this!

I can't wait!

Smiling....

[Scott Sonnon]

Joel, it will be an honor to train you again, my friend.

[Aengus]

Got my confirmation! Looks like a lot of hard work and a lot of fun. Can't wait!

[Scott Sonnon]

Since CST Kappa SOLD OUT closed, RMAX is pleased to announce the details for the next CST Certification Seminar - Lambda Cadre. CST Lambda will be held February 23-25, 2006 in Bellingham, Washington!

Ciao Amico! I really look forward to training you at CST Lambda!!

[joelsey]

Coach Sonnon:

The pleasure and honor is truly mine. I look forward to this opportunity,

Smiling.....

[Adam Steer]

Yay, I'm officially registered!! Can't wait to meet you all! And I can't believe I have to wait until February :)

Cheers,
Adam

[Scott Sonnon]

Adam, welcome aboard, amigo! I look forward with excitement to training you at Lambda!

[sames]

Coach Sonnon,

A while back you talked about changes to the CST seminars:


For 2006, CST certification will automatically include subcertification in Intu-Flow®™, Prasara Body-Flow and Clubbell® training. In 2007, they will be separate courses, which will be scheduled and released publicly in late 2006. All certification courses are conducted throughout the year. Schedules, times, details on registration can be found online.

Is Lambda still on the current system or will it be on the new, seperated system? I didn't see any options for selecting only one of the 3 branches/levels so I'm guessing its still on the current system?

[Scott Sonnon]

RMAX has not yet offered public certification courses in only Clubbell Training, Prasara Yoga and/or Intu-Flow.

[Fairbanks]

Bellingham is always my one year re-union, I look forward to the train ride, and the continental breakfast. Who needs a roommate?

I'm there!

[Scott Sonnon]

Gents, it's going to be a privilege training you again in beautiful Bellingham!

[Rusty]

I just wanted to clarify that the Bellingham CST Seminar is in Feb 23-26 in 2007 instead of the 2006 as listed in the posting. Or is this in reference to a past Seminar?

Thanks,
Russ Wiseman

[Scott Sonnon]

Russ,

Sorry about the typo. You are correct, this is 2007's first CST seminar.

[Coach Hurst]

Yo everybody!

I'm of course going to be there also! Reunion time!!!!!! :D

[Jarlo Ilano]

Well, if Ry is going to post in this thread then me too! I'll be there!:woo:

[AdamS.]

Seeing that all these (in)famous forum members are going to be there, I'm really looking forward to heading out there too :D

Jesse,
To answer your question: I do!

[Edwin]

[QUOTE=Coach Sonnon]
2. You need to be versed in the 5 major flows seen only in the Prasara DVD.


Hi Coach,

Does this mean we should be able to do all the 5 major flows if we intend to be certified?

If we want to go for certification do we signify our intention before the seminar?

Thanks,

Edwin

[Coach Hurst]

Yes, you need to know the 5 Canon Flows in order to be certified. That is the minimum for being certified in Prasara. Does this mean that you need to be able to perform them to perfection at the seminar? No. You will be working on them INTENSELY while at the seminar. Just make sure that you have worked through them before the seminar.

In a nutshell you should be able to comfortably talk and explain your way through a flow WHILE doing it in order to be able to teach it to others. That is when you know that you are ready to teach it to others. That means having full understanding of structure, breathing and movement within/during the flow. ;) :)

Although you don't necessarily need to be able to do that in order to get certified that will give you an idea as to when you will be able to instruct others. Just because you are certified doesn't necessarily mean you are ready to teach. Think of becoming certified as the first step to a better understanding of yourself and the material.

Thanks Coach Hurst. Just 1 more question for now. So you have to pass all of the above for certification? Or can you choose just one that you are interested to be certified in?

[Coach Hurst]

Edwin,

To become a Certified CST Instructor you will have to pass all 3 of the core curriculum of CST; Intu-Flow, Prasara and Clubbell Training. CST Intuitive Assessment, Program Design and Class Structure is within the three of these. If you choose to attend a CST Cert. Seminar you will be required to work on all three and not just choose which part you would like to attend. There are those that hold a Level 1 Prasara Cert. but they are not CST Intructors.

If I were coming all the way over from the Philippines I would definitely want to go for all three! :)

Looking forward to meeting you at Lambda.

[Cody Fielding]

Lambda is shaping up to be a great experience already! Lots of us returing, most or all of the 4x7challenge folks attending - wow!

I'm already excited about this..;).

Thanks Coach Hurst. I have a better grasp of it now :)

[AdamS.]

Just an idea: With so much of the Coaching staff planning on being in Bellingham, are there any plans for any FlowFighting events either before or after the CST IC? Could I be so bold as to suggest a full FF seminar either the weekend before or the weekend after? I know that's a lot to expect and certainly a lot of work for the coaching staff, but impatience is a part of my nature. :)

Either way, I'm certainly going to have to check out Coach C.'s classes while I'm there.

I could call Death Guild and see if they'll lend us the Thunderdome for the weekend;)

[Scott Sonnon]

Adam,

There's nothing stopping you from contacting one or more coaches for a private or semi-private session with your classmates. ;)

[dferguson]

I just couldn't pass up this educational opportunity. See you all in Bellingham!

[sames]

Don, this is great news!

[joelsey]

Don:

It will be great to train with you again! It will be a very different experience for us, huh?

Looking forward to catching up with you, my friend.

Smiling.....

[dferguson]

Steve,

Thanks for the encouragement. It's going to be fun to work with you in Bellingham.


Joel,

Lambda is going to be a great experience! There's a lot to do between now and then, but I am ready to sophisticate my understanding and application of CST. I look forward to hanging out with you again, amigo.

Take care,

[TonyB]

It will be good to see familar faces and meet new ones! I'm excited to work with eveyone and looking forward to learning things from as many people as I can.

These workshops really are wonderful. I can't unil Feb!

[dferguson]

I'm glad that you'll be able to make Lambda, Tony.

Take care,

[Fairbanks]

Well,
I have to back down from this years winter certification seminar. School, money you name it is not on my side this year. I do plan on making it in August. Cheers to everyone I will miss being there.
