You love what the CANTIENICA® method triggers and are ready to take the next step? The training to become a CANTIENICA® trainer enables you to apply and teach the method professionally.
Typical participant:s have basic training in physical therapy, osteopathy, exercise, education, art, body therapy, or obstetrics. However, we believe that lateral entrants also enrich the CANTIENICA® universe. That’s why you are welcome, no matter which direction you come from.
The training is a mixture of self-study and intensive courses. You learn to design lessons, courses and workshops and to coach your clients in an efficient and motivating way. Choreographies are analyzed and practiced in plenary and in pairs. The direct feedback from the instructors helps you to constantly improve. Interdisciplinary training sequences let you discover your body and yourself in depth.
After the first 5-day intensive seminar
you can start teaching immediately and offer CANTIENICA® lessons
With the pandemic, training via livestream became a matter of course.
That’s why you’ll also learn how to guide customers via video.
You will learn to lead classes in the studio and to assist the customers with words and deeds.
Each class has a new dynamic.
How do you pick up everyone? How do you go about
You too? We have good answers to this
Understanding what a person brings to the table and what they need: private lessons
demand your skills.
We prepare you for it
Many people find the CANTIENICA® method because they have physical challenges.
We teach you how to promote them
The CANTIENICA® training starts holistically (bronze). Then come back and head (silver) , later running (gold) and then the use of aids to it (platinum).
We never stand still, we are constantly discovering new things. That’s why we provide you with ongoing opportunities to educate yourself.
After the first intensive course you may call your offer CANTIENICA®-Training. Your website or your URL may also carry the CANTIENICA® trademark in its name.
The training bears the Swiss quality label Eduqua. In this way, we guarantee that the CANTIENICA® training is continuously checked for quality.
In the training module Level 1 Bronze you will learn the basic principles of bodywork with the CANTIENICA® method. You work out each exercise for yourself and as a team. This is a central principle of CANTIENICA® Body in Evolution: Vivatomically® precise and well-founded passing on of the exercises can only be done by those who have experienced their benefits on their own bodies. You are the best role model for the method you want to teach and instruct. You’ll find your personal best in posture, strength, flexibility and appearance.
Through intensive hands-on bodywork, you will improve your own awareness while sharpening your observation of posture and movement patterns in others. Benita Cantieni attaches great importance to the fact that the method has to adapt to the people and not vice versa. This individuality has shaped a unique coaching: The instructor does not perform the exercises, and certainly not with them, but demonstrates and precisely describes the position and brings the participants into the optimal posture with targeted, non-manipulative grips and touches.
The CANTIENICA® method places the greatest emphasis on safety for the body, muscles, tendons, joints, fascia. The purpose of the individual coaching is that the changes in habitual bad postures (stiff shoulders, pelvic obliquity, knock knees, hunched back, hollow back, etc.) can be consciously perceived by the participants and adopted in everyday life quickly, safely and sustainably.
Touching people. In words. With the eyes. With the hands. Guide and accompany to the optimal position through individual precise touch. Using targeted, deliberate language to trigger the targeted, deliberate action. Know and master one’s own language and body language. Express appreciation for other people. Turning instruction into an encounter. Pick up each client where he or she is. Lead where she, he wants to go. Lovingly and consciously offering what the client needs to achieve his or her goals.
CANTIENICA® coaching is an integrated part of the basic training, it serves the quality of the teaching. The course trains psychological skills, care in language, demonstration and instruction. CANTIENICA® coaching teaches the ability to guide people into the position that is good for them with targeted, professional, casual touches and movements. CANTIENICA® coaching equips you with self-confidence and a loving view of your clients. You’ll also learn how to distribute your attention generously without losing your own energy.
Simple, safe, sustainable instruction and support for women and men of all ages for prevention and self-healing of discomfort and changes caused by slackening muscles.
We offer the courses in several cities. You can participate there, or online .
Want to study the course content and learning objectives in more detail? No problem. We will be happy to send you the documents.
The diploma training begins with several weeks of self-study. Exactly how much time is needed is individual, and depends on your previous knowledge and your learning speed. In this phase you should internalize the exercises. The more you use it, the more factual and physical knowledge you can build. The didactic part of the manual shows you how to teach the method to your clients. You will already receive information about CANTIENICA®-specific coaching. How you apply it will be practiced intensively during the attendance days.
In the 5-day seminar, the main focus is on training and mutual coaching. Several training lessons are held. You practice in groups, in pairs or in plenary. Self-reflection, mutual feedback and working on one’s own challenges are important elements. The trainers challenge and encourage you in this process. At the end of the intensive seminar you will receive a certificate of attendance, which immediately entitles you to conduct group courses and private lessons. You are now ready for the practice phase.
The weeks leading up to the follow-up seminar are for you to gain practical experience. You implement what you have learned, teach customers and gain experience. So it’s worth preparing for this phase early so that you can start teaching as soon as possible. You will keep a log of the lessons you teach during this time. This protocol is considered proof of practice and is mandatory to obtain the diploma. In addition, you create a video sequence of your lessons and send it to your instructors. As a further learning check, you will work out three detailed choreographies in writing. These are considered written exams and are designed to map your theoretical knowledge.
After the practical phase, you will meet with the whole group for a two-day follow-up. In these two days, the video samples of the participants are discussed, ambiguities regarding the training work and coaching are clarified and the examination documents are evaluated. Now you have the opportunity to repeat, adapt or extend exercises, instructions and coaching. After the follow-up workshop you will receive your diploma.
This Level 1 Bronze course can be attended online.
However you should be in Berlin for at least 2 days.

Benita Cantieni founded the CANTIENICA® method in 1997, which she also trains.
“One of the best decisions in my life! Since the CANTIENICA® method is always evolving, it is a great challenge for me even after all these years, which does not let me stand still and which I still teach with much enthusiasm, conviction and with all my heart.”
“I was so captivated by my first CANTIENICA® lesson in 1999 that I decided to take the training a year later. I’ve been passing on my enthusiasm for this method ever since.”
“Awakening body intelligence, taking personal responsibility, moving mindfully and lightly in life is what I like to give people.”
“Through the CANTIENICA® method I have learned to trust my body and to further train my body awareness. I particularly enjoy passing on this experience in the classroom. It’s wonderful to see people uplift and develop through the CANTIENICA® method, become more confident – or simply themselves.”
“Pain-free, light and strong – that’s how my body feels since I started training with the CANTIENICA® method. The scoliosis-related back, neck and hip pain are a thing of the past. The pregnancy, the self-determined, powerful birth and the time of the postpartum definitely confirmed to me – there is nothing better for the body! Absolutely convinced of the effectiveness of the method, I have put my job as a lawyer on hold, concentrate entirely on bodywork and am happy to infect dear people with my enthusiasm for the CANTIENICA® method every day. “
A “Mandy about Mandy” is still to come. Anyway, she’s a physical therapist, has a Bachelor of Health. In her senior thesis Mandy presents the work with multiple sclerosis patients and the CANTIENICA® method, compares the “conventional” therapies and the vivatomic CANTIENICA® concept.
“After many years of recurring pain and constant injury, it was serendipitous to fatefully encounter the CANTIENICA® method. Learning to understand my body as my best friend, advisor, directional guide and mood barometer is always a challenge for me. The fact that today I can accompany not only myself but also my clients and colleagues on this path of self-love and self-responsible self-healing is an unspeakably beautiful gift.”
“For me, it is a medical-historical sensation when anatomy suddenly becomes tangible on the living body. Benita Cantieni’s method opens up a completely new anatomical world view. Doing anatomical research together with the respective person – from a small child to the very old – on their own body, tracing muscles and bones, seeing how they (re)gain freedom from pain and mobility, is exciting for me every time.”
“It feels good, the beautiful posture. It tells of self-confidence and independence, of elegance and strength. And all of that together is, in my opinion, sexy as hell. The CANTIENICA® method makes beautiful. It helps anyone and everyone to find their way in their own body and inhabit it with ease. On the other side of pain, not only freedom from pain awaits us, but the well-being of our pulsating aliveness. Feeling alive in your own body is attractive and vital. And feels even better!”
“Convinced by the amazing successes with my course participants as well as with myself, I have remained faithful to this method.”
“During my training as a Dipl. As a qualified nurse, I have already been intensively involved with alternative healing methods. It’s been my experience that human well-being can only be permanently improved through a holistic approach.”
“After the first CANTIENICA® lesson in 1998, the CANTIENICA® virus infected me. The newfound posture, lightness, suppleness and strength fascinates me again and again. I enthusiastically pass on all the knowledge of the CANTIENICA® method to my clients.
