About us
Welcome to the Embodiment Dojo
Increase your joy and pleasure and become more alive with us!
What is the Embodiment Dojo?
What we offer is a body-mind approach to psychological, physical and emotional health and well-being. Our classes are a unique movement experience, where we begin to soften the muscular tension and chronic holding in our bodies through a series of gentle stretches, grounding and self-expression exercises. Relieving stress, enhancing our emotional well-being and sense of self and beginning to open our heart to life.
"My classes follow a format of checking in with the body, warm-ups, grounding and building the body's energy, then discharging the energy through movement and expression. This is followed by relaxation. The immediate result is a felt sense of security, vibrancy and exhilaration." - Seth Newman
In our classes you will earn to ride the waves of feelings and emotion without getting lost in the rapids...
At the personal level, the highly experiential nature of our work is a catalyst for transformation, as participants work in the laboratory of their own process and their relationship to others. The work opens the heart, brings grounded empowerment to the personality, and a deeper connection to the Core; centre of your authentic self and Divine essence.

More about the Embodiment Dojo and Bioenergetics
Bioenergetic Alchemyā¢ uses energy, movement, breath and inter-personal relationships to create consciousness about who you truly are. You become aware of the ways in which you hold yourself back from living a deeply fulfilling life. One way we all inhibit ourselves is by blocking our energy - and our emotions - in parts of our body. By learning how to move the energy in your body, you learn to free your emotions (e-motions) and to get in touch with all your feelings. When you loosen these local blocks, your experience of your entire body changes.
Clients say they have become more alive, powerful, joyful, daringā¦

ā° 2:30pmā8:30pm
š 18+ | Sober EventWhy Connectival? And Why London Needs It
London is one of the most vibrant cities in the world, yet many of us feel disconnected, overstimulated, and yearning for genuine human connection.Connectival, created and hosted by Ecstatic Dance London in collaboration with guest facilitators, is a response to that need.
This gathering offers practical tools for connection that you can take into everyday life through movement, presence, and authentic conversation. These practices foster deeper relationships with yourself and with others, particularly in a fast-paced city environment.Connectival widens the idea of love beyond romance into something more human and sustainable.
Connection, community, expression, presence, and belonging.
Connectival is rooted in consent, inclusivity, embodied awareness, and respect for boundaries.
This is a space to feel safe, welcome, and human.In a city that rarely slows down, Connectival is an invitation to pause, move, and reconnect with yourself and with others.

Dive into the whole day, or drop in to individual sessions. All are welcome!You are warmly invited into TRYBE: a transformational urban retreat woven from three powerful experiences:
- Blindfolded SHAMANIC TRANCE DANCE & Cacao Ceremony 2)The RAGE RITUALā¢ process
3) PRANA MYSTIC: Global Bass | Ethno-Fusion | Folktronica | Shamanic Soundscapes Ecstatic Dance & Cacao Ceremony
1. SHAMANIC TRANCE DANCE - Our journey begins in the dark.
The blindfold comes on. The outer world dissolves. With cacao warming the heart and ancient shamanic drums calling to usā¦ into the dance we goā¦
Shamanic Trance Dance is an ancient technology of consciousness, rhythm guiding you beneath the thinking mind into embodied knowing.
Then we move into fire. š„
2. The RAGE RITUALā¢ is not about chaos, or freeking out. Itās about reclaiming life-force. Anger, when expressed consciously, is clean energy.
It sets boundaries. It restores dignity. It protects what matters.
Through our uniquer guided process and embodied activation, youāll be invited to unlock your roar in a space that is structured, grounded and safe enough.
And as the sun sets, we gather again. š
4. PRANA MYSTIC is an awakening... global basslines, ethno-fusion textures and shamanic soundscapes carry us into ecstatic dance. Cacao flows. Intentions are seeded. Bodies sweat. The dancefloor becomes temple and playground at once. šš«
No talking. No alcohol. Just presence, music, and raw human electricity.
Dance. Move. Connect. Release. Meditate. Celebrate.TRYBE is a modern-day sanctuary for Londoners who crave something deeper than the usual Ecstatic Dance.
Each gathering is like a mini urban retreat, a space to drop armour, meet your edges, rediscover embodied-joy and stretch beyond your usual way of being.
Come for the full arc of the journey or drop into individual sessions. All are welcome. No experience necessary.SCHEDULE

Blindfolded Shamanic Trance Dance & Cacao CeremonyOur journey begins in the dark.
The blindfold comes on. The outer world dissolves. With cacao warming the heart and ancient shamanic drums calling to usā¦ into the danceā¦
Shamanic Trance Dance is an ancient technology of consciousness, rhythm guiding you beneath the thinking mind into embodied knowing.
Hear the ancient pulse calling you into ritual..This is an invitation into a ritual practice/active meditation inward journey... a blindfolded, free-form movement experience.
In the dark, the mind quiets and the body becomes the guide. Breath, drums and different musics work together to shift you into a deeply aware state. In this space beyond self-consciousness, emotions can release, insight can arise, and a more instinctive, intuitive intelligence begins to move through you.Rooted in global shamanic traditions, this is a practice of embodied transformation, a dance to connect you to your own inner wisdom and the wisdom of the planet.
Dance, Move, Connect, Release, Meditate & Celebrate! You're welcome to come for the whole day or drop into individual sessions. All are welcome!

Seth Newman - https://urubu.com/
''My purpose is to facilitate rituals that empower āthe whole human beingā through dance and music. Like Bioenergetics and other somatic processes, for me, Trance Dance was another door to inner discovery and transformation. I have always been passionate about contemporary forms of music and dance that reclaim our vital energy and our creative potential. I believe that āletting go into lifeā is synonymous, with our āsurrender to the bodyā. Letting go to the natural flow that moves through us. Letting go, to let flow! It is through āthe flow experienceā that we express, feel and find ourselves, without being connected to āflowā nothing creative happens.'' - Seth Newman1 attendee
