TRAINING OVERVIEW

EmBody Method training is rooted in movement lineage, nervous-system awareness, and ethical teaching practice. The work emphasizes how effort is cued, paced, and recovered from, rather than what shapes or outcomes are produced. Training is designed to support instructors in developing discernment, choice, and responsibility in how they guide others. Scope is explicit, and boundaries are treated as a form of care.
