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 where the quickest, most powerful transformations can happen.
The body 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 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 body-based techniques, but would like a simple, effective system that gets concrete results with all kinds of clients?
Or you want specific tools to work with common problems, like low confidence, poor self-care or 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.

The Embodied Toolkit Certification
A system of 26 postures to help clients shift state and gain insights
Beautifully filmed with both experiential and technical videos, this online course includes three months of (optional) weekly support sessions to help guide you towards certification.
This is a self-paced online course, but we’ve found that by offering live support sessions, people both deepen their learning and actually complete their certification (whilst having more fun doing so).
Please note that you can’t actually “fall behind” on this course. The support sessions are just there to encourage you. When you certify is up to you.
This provides the perfect balance of both flexibility and accountability.
The certification may be for you if you are a...
Coach or trainer
Who wants to deliver powerful insights and breakthroughs with your clients
Yoga or movement teacher
Who wants to deepen the psychological aspect of classes and stand out in a crowded market
Therapist or bodyworker
Who wants to offer your clients practices they can take into daily life

Personal practice
The first four weeks of the course will emphasise personal practice and confidence. If you are not a coach or facilitator, then this package may be for you.
It will support you with an in-depth exploration of eight Embodied Toolkit poses that’ll build deep confidence.
Coaches and facilitators will also do these first four weeks. They’re a good foundation before they continue on to learn all 26 poses to use with clients.
There are sessions on how to apply Toolkit in 1-to-1 work (coaches, therapists, bodyworkers) and group work (yoga, dance, other movement teachers).
You will receive a certificate if you choose to go through the certification process.
The optional live webinars will be on Tuesdays at 9am UK time (6pm AEST) or 6pm UK time (10am PDT).
These start on September 19 and ending on October 10 (for the confidence package) or December 5 (for the certification package).
Convert to your timezone here.
You can choose to attend the time that’s most convenient for you (you’re welcome at both if that works).
Sessions will be recorded, so you can view on the learning platform afterwards.

What past students say about our courses
Stellar content and 100% applicable to real life. The course gave me solid preparation for how to actually teach the postures – not just practise them myself.
As an ontological coach, I like to work somatically whenever it serves. The Embodied Toolkit makes this easy for me, providing a comprehensive and handy kit I can use to bring instant embodiment to the inquiry, with minimum fuss. The postures may appear straightforward, but are actually sophisticated tools!
Embodiment postures have lifted my coaching to the next level. They bring my clients into
their bodies and feelings. It’s an amazing gift.
Embodied Toolkit taught me to produce (actual) profound state changes in clients, even when coaching online. Talk about a game-changer.
A refreshing method of self-inquiry and transformation.
Highly effective for changing behavioural patterns.
There wasn't anything in the yoga world that met my needs until Toolkit. I love the non-guru approach and found it very different from my usual training.
I already had an embodied practice, but it feels so much more enriched. My students have already noticed a shift, which they love. There are a range of tools and the way they are broken down is excellent. A wonderful course!
The main takeaway for me was an attitude of kindness towards myself and my practice. The self-compassion and "yes meditation" resonated a lot with me. Great content overall.
It’s been transformational, empowering. I’m already seeing positive impacts on my classes.
Wow, I learned so much! The structure was really nice and fluid, and organisation over-the-top awesome. Great longer meditations, too.
This work has been a central anchor in times of turmoil, as well as an enhanced sense of peace when things are generally going well.
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!
I can honestly say this course was a total game-changer for me personally and in my coaching practice. By far the most valuable training investment I’ve ever made.
Using CEC's learning and teaching has given me the power and authority to help transform the lives of many Filipinos for the better.
I never had so many 'aha moments' during a course as in this one. As a coach, I use the practices every day which helps my clients gain a deeper awareness of their state of being, and more possibilities and choices.
Embodiment allows me to coach from wholeness. This leads to much better results, much quicker.
I’m already easily blending the tools learned with my own coaching style. It is an upgrade for my set of skills and resources as a coach.
CEC had a huge impact for me by giving me some essential tools that make coaching so much more powerful. I also gained awareness around my own patterns, which means better presence for my clients.
My coaching is more precise and effective now. My clients now achieve their goals in a shorter time and fewer sessions.
CEC gave me confidence in my niche and underlined the importance of my own practice and well-being, it confirmed my core interest in trauma.
It has made me want to set up a business offering coaching. I feel so grateful for all I have learned with you, with the course opening into so many fascinating paths.

“Mr Embodiment” is the author of Embodiment, The Body in Coaching and Training, and Embodied Meditation. He hosts The Embodiment Podcast (over 1 million downloads), and led The Embodiment Conference (1000 teachers, 500,000 delegates). Seeing a theme yet?
He founded the Embodied Facilitator Course, and has trained over 2000 embodiment coaches in over 40 other countries (some of which will even let him back in).
He gained an honours in psychology (despite been an alcoholic at the time), and has taught widely in the corporate world where he pretended to be a grown up for years, including with blue-chip companies (e.g. Unilever, Shell, Axa, L’Oreal) whom he charged wayyyy too much as they made him wear a suit.
Mark has also upset… sorry, taught… many yogis, NGOs, police officers and several militaries.
He has worked in war zones, and entertained over 50,000 children. Mark has headlined International Coach Federation events, taught at universities, and lived with the circus in Ethiopia, worked with celebrities and kissed a princess.
He is an aikido black belt, and also has 25 years of experience of other martial arts, with yoga, bodywork, improv comedy, conscious dance and meditation.
Embodiment is his obsession, life’s work, and frankly at this point he couldn’t get a job doing anything else. Mark dances like your dad at a wedding, overshares about his gorgeous Ukrainian wife, and offends pirates with his swearing.
He is now tired of writing in the third person.

Why coaches & yoga 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.”

FAQs
- 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
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.
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).
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 19th September and finish on Tuesday 5th December 2023. However, you can take as long as you need to certify.
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.
