“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

"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

"To meet everything and everyone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer to the universe."
- Eckhart Tolle

This immersion in the practice and theory of Embodied Mindfulness consists of a series of live online classes, an online retreat, MP3 recordings of all practices, support from a peer group, assorted readings and 2 individual online sessions with Jamie McHugh.

In each class, you are:

• Guided in 2-3 unique 15-20 minute practices with time for personal exploration and assimilation
• Engaged in interactive dialogue, question and answer, and theory
• Given recordings of the practices as MP3 files for your personal use at home in-between sessions

Over the course of the program, you will learn 21 body-based practices for stillness. These somatically informed practices are designed to:

• Introduce basic anatomy for objective information through various maps of the body
• Create a felt experience of one's body from the inside out for subjective information
• Integrate the somatic technologies of breath, alignment, self-contact, movement and stillness into a comprehensive template for bodily awareness and emotional well-being

2 individual Skype sessions are included in the course for more personalized attention. These sessions can focus on practice or theory, tracking your experience or making meaning with whatever arises, among other possibilities.

We complete the program with a 5-hour online retreat to bring the practices together.
