The Foundation Modules Are the Heart of NAIO™ Practitioner Certification

Enhance Practitioner Skills

The NAIO™ Process is supportive for practitioners and therapists of many backgrounds, building applied skill through six sequenced Foundation Modules within the certification path.

Held in Residential Retreat Settings

Immersions take place in residential, natural settings — not lecture halls or wellness studios — allowing the work to unfold in an environment of belonging and shared rhythm, closer to how the practice itself is lived.

NAIO Modules

The core of the NAIO™ Practitioner Certification Program is built around six Foundation Modules, each 70 hours, delivered in sequence:

Basis, Primordia, Bios, Physis, Matrix, and Cosmos.

Each module combines online coursework, live online sessions, Personal Salon (individual mentoring with the lead teacher), and Group Salon (peer practice and dialogue), integrated through three In-Person Immersions across the training.

BASIS

PRIMORDIA

BIOS

COSMOS

PHYSIS

MATRIX

In-Persons Immersion Retreats

Immersion One follows the Introductory Course and prerequisites, bringing students into hands-on, in-person contact early in the training.

Immersion Two deepens relational and perceptual practice through the

Primordia and Bios Modules.

Immersion Three integrates the full training arc through the Physis, Matrix, and Cosmos Modules, concluding with the Certification Review.

A Sequenced Path

The Foundation Modules are only available as part of the full NAIO™ Practitioner Certification Program, taken in sequence, and are not offered as standalone modules outside the certification pathway.

For those seeking a lighter introduction to NAIO™ principles or embodied practice without pursuing certification, the NAIO™ Introductory Course and Elective offerings provide accessible entry points into the work.
