What we’re about
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 Alchemy™ 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, daring…

WHAT IS THE DAY ABOUT?
Each of our all-day Saturday Sessions offers Londoners a kind of sanctuary space to come and dance, be themselves, dive deep, have fun, release stress, connect with their body, and stretch themselves beyond their usual way of being. You can attend the whole day or just drop-in for single workshops. No experience necessary.
During the day you will have the chance to dance and dive into a selection of some very beautiful and unique movement & relaxation practices.
Join us for this one-of-a-kind transformational retreat combining three powerful modalities!- SCHEDULE:
◈ 11:45am-2:30pm The BIG LOVE Experience - Bliss Beyond Fear – Learn powerful Bioenergetic Alchemy exercises for releasing stress, fear and shock from the body. This workshop is designed to teach you how to gently release tension and stress held in the body.
During this workshop you will learn a series of carefully designed Bioenergetic Alchemy™ exercises and postures (similar to Yoga or Tai Chi) where we will release fear and tension from our body to re-experience our natural state, what the Kalahari Bushmen call, “The Big Love”.
“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 - Various spiritual teachings, such as A Course in Miracles, say that there are only two fundamental emotions: love and fear. If we can begin to safely & gently release tension, shock & fear from the body, we then open to an experience of the body in its natural state, deeply relaxed, at ease, and with a sense of peace and wellbeing. The Kalahari Bushmen call this natural state, the BIG LOVE. (Please bring a yoga mat & blanket)

WHAT IS BIOENERGETIC ALCHEMY? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOrELWRAqkU - ◈ 3:30-5:45pm Bioenergetic Breathwork Session - an Introduction to Conscious Connected Breathwork
Our Bioenergetic Breathwork (CCB) sessions are a wonderful way to deeply relax and rejuvenate your body, your mind, and your entire nervous system. It is also a safe and healthy way to reach creative states of consciousness, allowing a participant to access their deeper/higher consciousness. Resulting in improved physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.
Through the use of grounding exercises, tapping and conscious, connected diaphragmatic breathing, each individual is the leader of their own journey.
Our facilitation includes space-holding, affirmations, aromatherapy and Reiki to assist in this personal process. At the very least, the breathwork will be relaxing and detoxifying… and at most, a Big Love experience! - ◈ break 75 min (selection of teas/coffee will be available in the hallway )
