Creative Mornings: Embodied Reflection Talk 2024
However tending to our state of health doesn’t require a special outfit or environment, some of the most effective habits are practiced moment by moment, and take no more time that it takes to check your phone.
In an Art of Embodiment Seminar we’ll explore techniques for shifting into an Embodied state and experience first hand how they can help improve focus, uplift mood and elevate energy.
Embodiment is not only for the gym or yoga studio, it is an intrinsic element of our everyday lives. Obviously, we bring our body with us everywhere, but so many of us seldom give it the care it deserves, especially at the place where we are affected by our state of health the most, our workplace.

All too often, the things we do for leisure end up leaving us drained. Whether it’s a sport we love doing, or social parties with friends, we know we need to de-stimulate and recover, but its hard to make time or maybe we aren’t quite sure how.
The Art of Embodiment offers approachable techniques for invoking that sense of peace & vitality we seek in our leisure time. One of the exercises, known as “active rest,” Yoga Nidra, or Non-Sleep Deep Rest, has been shown to have a host of benefits, ranging from immune support to emotional regulation and everything in between.

“
I’ve had one on one bodywork sessions with Nathan as well as attended his classes. His attentiveness to subtle alignments in the body really helped bring awareness to how I hold my body and where I carry stress. There is a lot to gain from the subtle adjustments and invitations Nathan offers in his thoughtful approach to teaching.”

Most of the session takes place on a traditional massage table, however we will also explore sitting, standing, walking and various movements to help integrate what you learn into your everyday life.

A traditional massage therapist will primarily target muscles, tendons and ligaments to provide temporary relief from joint pain & muscle soreness. The Art of Embodiment is an education based approach to wellness, asking the client to actively participate in the session. The techniques target fascia as well as the nervous system while giving the client tools to experience deep change and lasting relief.
Similar to massage, TAO Embodiment utilizes soft as well as deep touch, meeting the individual where they are at to achieve deeper levels of tissue release and holistic integration.
