Your course leaders
Teaching Embodied Meditation has dramatically changed my inner and outer world.
I’ve meditated for years, but only when I shifted to an embodied approach did I realise how much deeper I could go.
I’ve realised that embodied presence is actually a radical doorway to listening, loving and expressing our feelings in a compassionate way. Radical, because most of us are so distracted by modern life that we’re not really ‘here’ a lot of the time.
Embodied presence may well be one of the greatest gifts we can offer to anyone and it’s an essential aspect of teaching and facilitation.
Throughout this training, we’ll focus a lot on embodied presence, as well as introducing an embodied approach to meditation that will transform your personal practice and help your students/clients in almost all areas of their lives. The tools are practical, easy to do and designed to benefit your whole life, not just the time you spend meditating.
This approach has had a serious impact on my life personally and that of my students, and I’m positive it will for you, too.
Karin van Maanen
Course Leader & Embodied Meditation Teacher
Embodiment Unlimited
Martin has been practicing meditation intensively for 30 years and has been teaching dharma and guiding people in their practice since 1999.
Aged 19, Martin left for India with a one-way ticket and no luggage. He spent most of the next four years in Asian monasteries, retreat centres and Ashrams where he developed a formal meditation practice based on Vipassana / Insight Meditation, while also exploring many different teachings and practice forms.
He spent several months with Ajahn Buddhadasa at Wat Suan Mokkh in Thailand and sat annual month-long retreats all through the 1990s at the Thai Monastery in Bodh Gaya with Christopher Titmuss. After ten years of practice, Christopher encouraged him to begin teaching. He has also studied and practiced with various Buddhist teachers and traditions, including the Vajrayana practices of Mahamudra and Dzogchen.
Martin spent two years living with Sukhanta Giri Babaji, a Hindu sadhu, at his hermitage near Dharamsala and has lived and practiced with various other Indian sadhus and Himalayan hermits. He was also a student of the Diamond Approach of A.H. Almaas for 13 years.

What some of our 9,606+
students
say about our courses
Martin is an exceptional teacher and mentor. His deep knowledge of the mind combined, practical teachings and use of inquiry has helped me find more internal peace.
It’s been transformational, empowering. I’m already seeing positive impacts on my classes.
Martin’s wisdom, authenticity, empathy and compassion speak volumes about his incredible skill as a teacher. I feel very fortunate to have had Martin shining a light on my path.
The course helped me to create the space for a daily morning practice again, and for the first time in my meditation experience – be fully committed to it.
I thought that ‘coming home to your body’ was just a nice metaphor until I really felt it in one of the meditations!
Martin is a teacher and friend but most of all, a hero. He is an inspiration to my own practice and my work, and I owe him a great deal.
Karin’s meditation work has helped me to identify a central anchor in times of turmoil, as well as an enhanced sense of peace when things are generally going well.
Martin has had a very positive effect on my own practice, as well as on my teaching ‘Introduction to Mindfulness Meditation for Law Students’ workshops at Stanford Law School.
I have worked with Martin as my teacher and mentor since 2014 and he has been powerfully instrumental in helping me to deepen and embed my daily practice.
My experience of studying with Karin has enabled me to establish a personal meditation practice and has enriched my own teaching of yoga and meditation.
