WHAT IS BUTI?
MORE THAN A WORKOUT.
A METHOD YOU CAN SHARE.
BUTI is a somatic movement practice that fuses functional movement with cardio dance and multidimensional strength training. A sweat-dripping, beat-driven practice that challenges the body across all planes of motion.
Certification takes you deeper into that method: movement anatomy, sequencing, demonstration and feedback. If you’re passionate about helping others feel at home in their body through movement and community, BUTI is the path for you.

What should I bring?
Bring hydration, snacks, your own yoga mat and multiple changes of clothes. Some studios do not offer mat rentals.
Bring a device where you can download and make playlists. BUTI is beat-driven, and significant time is spent breaking down beat patterns, musical styles and how they apply to movement.
What is the investment? Are payment plans available?
First-time certification pricing varies by training. The 2027 three-day trainings are $999 early bird and $1,099 regular registration. Early bird pricing ends two months before the certification date. The selector above displays the current price for your chosen Location and Student Type.
Affirm offers up to 0% APR for those who qualify and is responsible for collecting installments. Affirm orders are documented as paid in full at purchase and are non-refundable.
Apply through Affirm first. If your application is rejected, contact training@thebutimovement.com about a custom payment plan. The team will need to verify the rejected application before creating a custom invoice.
What keeps my certification active?
Certification requires a signed license agreement and a monthly Instructor Tools fee. License agreements are sent before training through SignEasy and protect the format and the instructors who teach it.
Instructor Tools includes streaming-platform access and monthly teaching resources, new music and progression support. The product’s listed instructor rate is $19.99 monthly, with discounted quarterly or annual payment options.
If the fee lapses, your certification lapses. You can rejoin at any time. Do not teach while your certification is inactive; reactivate before teaching again.
What is the refund and transfer policy?
All certifications and payments are non-refundable, but registrations may be independently sold at the customer’s discretion.
You may transfer your registration to a future date one time for free if requested at least eight weeks before training. Changes within eight weeks incur a $199 change fee to move to another preferred date.
All trainings are subject to rescheduling or relocation due to low enrollment, with notification before the scheduled certification date.
YOUR VOICE. YOUR MOVEMENT.
I CAN
LEAD THIS.
Every instructor starts on the mat. Learning. Practicing. Getting uncomfortable. Finding their voice.
Your certification gives you the education, practice and feedback to begin making that transition.
