You know the body matters, but where to start?

​​Most trainers, coaches, therapists and facilitators know that including the body is vital. 

It’s a key part of who people are, and often how the quickest, most powerful transformations happen.

The body gives insight, gets clients unstuck, and is crucial for lasting change.

But WHERE to start? It can be confusing to know HOW exactly to work with the body.

Frankly, there’s a lot of BS out there. Even well-meaning embodiment teachers don’t always offer understandable, practical tools.

The body is vital for quick, lasting change

We are a body, not just a mind. That’s why working with the body is one of the quickest and most effective ways to facilitate change.

But it’s easy to feel a bit lost with specifically HOW to work with the body.

Perhaps you know the power of embodiment techniques, but would like a simple, effective system that gets concrete results with all kinds of clients?

Or maybe you want specific tools for common problems, like low confidence, poor self-care or poor boundaries?

Something that can deliver deep insights and immediate shifts?

That’s why we developed a practical set of techniques that just work.

A powerful, practical system

The Embodied Toolkit is a system of 26 archetypal, non-athletic postures for facilitators.

It’s a practical set of techniques matched to common client challenges.

The poses quickly shift states, open up new possibilities, and can be given as concise “homework” for lasting change. 

Toolkit was developed by an international team over a decade, with postures for every situation along the broad range of human experience. 

You don’t need to be a ninja master, Olympic athlete, or special tantric unicorn to use them.

Embodied Toolkit is a straightforward system that works. Simple.

Presents...

Embodied Toolkit

A system of 26 archetypal poses that makes embodiment simple for coaches and trainers.

Toolkit poses…

With beautifully prerecorded experiential and technical videos along with 12 live support sessions, you can’t actually “fall behind” on this course.

The live sessions encourage you, deepen your learning, and make things more enjoyable, but when you certify is up to you.

This provides a nice balance between flexibility and accountability.

Personal practice

Coaches, facilitators or those seeking deep personal growth learn all 26 poses, along with how to teach them to others.

Embodiment is his obsession, life’s work, and frankly, at this point he couldn’t get a job doing anything else. He dances like your dad at a wedding, impresses cats with his stroking, and offends pirates with his swearing.

Mark’s now tired of writing in the third person. It’s getting weird.

What past students say about our courses

Why coaches & teachers love Embodied Toolkit

“It’s nice to be offering a course that I know is extremely effective, as we’ve been doing it around the world for many years now.

Embodied Toolkit gives coaches a very practical set of tools. It’s an immediate ‘go-to’ for almost any problem that a client encounters. Toolkit encourages a level of deep insight that you just don’t see when asking questions verbally.

For mainstream coaches, it offers a practical approach to the body that doesn’t require jumping around or doing anything too “alternative”. And it simply works. Often the joke is that it’s TOO effective, because people experience such deep insights so fast.

Coaches also appreciate that Toolkit can be used to give short but powerful pieces of ‘homework’ for clients to take away, without requiring them to do anything too athletic or esoteric.

Many yoga teachers also use the Toolkit system (in fact, we used to call it Embodied Yoga Principles, which is why you’ll hear it referred to as EYP).

It adds a layer of psychological depth to postural yoga classes and allows students to take yoga “off of the mat” and into life.

Embodied Toolkit has been part of my personal practice for years. Often, it’s the thing I do just before I teach, as it allows for powerful state changes. Whenever I’m working with clients, it’s one of my main tools.

This course is beautifully filmed and edited (damn, we spent some cash!), so it’s a very high-quality recorded product. And the live sessions mean that the community of practitioners form real relationships along with actually doing the course.

I really like this combination of self-paced course, which allows people to fit it into their lives when it’s convenient, and the optional live sessions, which encourage people to not just leave the course unfinished in their email inbox somewhere.

This is one I’m proud of, so hope you can make it.”

Bonus

(worth $179)

Embodied Yoga Principles Masterclasses

This includes 26 hours of in-depth explorations of all Embodied Toolkit poses used in different facilitation contexts for both 1-to-1 and group work.

Toolkit was first developed as Embodied Yoga Principles (EYP) to bring a depth psychology aspect to movement classes. Here you’ll see practical, real-world uses for all kinds of situations.

Whether it’s struggling with confidence and leadership, needing to be more open and playful at home, or struggling with boundaries, you’ll learn fast and effective ways to manage your state and handle situations from a better place.

This stuff is seriously powerful for coaches and teachers, and adds a new layer of depth to your facilitation.

FAQs

The Certification of Embodiment Coaching (CEC) is our flagship course. It runs once per year for six months, and next starts in February 2025.

CEC and Toolkit complement one another very well. CEC teaches you a wide range of embodiment techniques along with the underlying principles so you can coach with the body creatively and effectively.

Toolkit gives you 26 out-of-the-box poses to bring immediately into your facilitation for any situation. 

Dozens of our students do both every year, which is why they have different start times with a break between each (both a summer and winter break).

If you’d like to become certified in both CEC and Toolkit, this bundled option gives you a juicy extra saving.

Learn more about CEC here>>>

It is a combination of live weekly webinars (available in two timezones – 9am and 6pm UK on Tuesdays), live peer group meetings (optional) and pre-recorded materials which you will be able to access on a bespoke learning platform.

It may be better conceived as a pre-recorded course with bonus live sessions (don’t let the live sessions be the determining factor in whether it is for you or not – they’re a bonus to help you with accountability).

The live sessions start on Tuesday 24th September and finish on Tuesday 10th December 2024 for the certification.

The self-care version runs for 4 weeks – September 24 until October 15.

For both, however, you can take as long as you need.

If you’ll be joining live and aiming to certify at the end of the live calls, we’d suggest spending around 3-5 hours per week (between live calls, peer groups, daily practice, and watching the online course).

You may instead choose to spread this out over time to make it more manageable.

We’d expect it to take at least fifty hours altogether (it may be more manageable to do an hour per week for a year, for example).

No worries. We offer these as extra support, but they aren’t necessary to certify. They will be recorded and available on the learning platform for you to catch up.

The course is designed for you to apply what you are learning with others, however if you are an aspiring coach or facilitator, it is also a good introduction to embodiment.

  • Watch all the course videos
  • Practice at least 10-minutes per day, 5-days per week, for 3 months (or the equivalent)
  • Send through photos of yourself in all 26 poses
  • For coaches, complete a minimum number of 8 hours of client coaching sessions integrating Embodied Toolkit (more explanation will be given during the course)
  • For teachers, complete two 2-hour Embodied Toolkit workshops and four 1-hour classes that integrate Embodied Toolkit (more explanation will be given during the course)
  • Reflect after each session you facilitate
  • Have a video call with one of the senior teachers to check your grasp on the subtleties of the system and other relevant experience before your certification is awarded
