“I appreciate that the information has been synthesized in a clear way. This body of work provides a balance of non-authoritative structure with kindness, self-permission, and luxuriating that feels like a necessary and exciting piece. It fills the gap of "what's been missing" in previous experiences of meditation for me.” - Malia, Movement Teacher

"Thank you Jamie for your work, for your journeys from the outside in with physical stepping stones that help me to anchor in and connect with the physicality of my being. It is truly a treasure for me." - Elisabeth, Teacher

"Jamie's work is a pure undoing of what binds and limits, a place of spectacular simplicity which speaks to the soul and body and fulfills a yearning for allowing a simple, "being with one´s breath and body". A way of finding home. – Didier, Workshop Leader

2025 Module 1
50 Hour Program

Module 1 and 2 can be taken independently for personal or professional enrichment. If you are interested in certification, see the Module 2-3 information HERE

Tuesdays, January 28-April 15, 2025

10-11:30 am PT/1-2:30 pm ET/7-8:30 pm CET

The Embodied Mindfulness protocol is designed to generate an easily repeatable individual daily somatic sitting practice to cultivate greater degrees of ease, patience and focus while nurturing one’s well-being with the five somatic technologies.

Therapists, coaches, yoga and movement teachers of all types, as well as people seeking more calm and ease in their lives, can benefit from this integrative approach to the body and its expression of lively stillness.

Over the course of the program, you will learn a developmental sequence of 24 body-based contemplative sitting practices. These somatically informed practices:

- Introduce basic anatomy touchstones for objective information and orientation to the landscape of the body

- Highlight a felt experience of one’s body from the inside out for subjective information

- Integrate the somatic technologies of breath, vocalization, self-contact, movement and stillness into a comprehensive template for bodily awareness and emotional well-being

In each 90 minute class session, you are:

Guided in two unique 20 minute practices with time for personal exploration and assimilation

Engaged in interactive dialogue, reflective response, and theory

Module 1 consists of twelve live weekly online classes, video recordings of all practices and theory, and two individual consultations.

Practice recordings are available for your personal use to repeat and integrate the material during the week, with your daily 15-20” practice acting as the keystone of this module.

Two individual consultations focusing on practice and theory are included for more personalized attention.

Sliding Scale: $400-850 (according to economic means)
