4 Shape Styles that Foster Embodiment
When you work towards embodiment, you may begin to more often feel in your body and/or become more receptive to your sensations and needs, perhaps beginning to honor them with your choices and actions. Here are several general shape and movement styles that could figure nicely into yoga sequences that favor embodiment. The language used in cues and generally to frame the practice as well as how safe a participant feels in the environment are also relevant factors for how beneficial the sequence may be.
Origins Story
Sometimes, I tell myself that it's not true, that I don't have a history of complex trauma, that there's nothing "wrong” with me…But when I stop and inhabit my body (or come crashing down from a trigger), read the symptoms, I can't deny that I am coming off the page. I can't deny that the most crucial factor to me being alive and thriving right now, the thing that's tethering me to the ground for the first time in so long, that's giving me clarity, is a yogic mindset…mainly yogic philosophy and practice as well as a mindset and routine favoring self-acceptance and self-care.
