Embodiment Training is a path of awakening that views the body as the doorway, not the obstacle, to personal growth and spiritual transformation. Through combining the orientation of Western somatic therapy with Eastern meditational practices, Embodiment Training leads you to the discovery of your natural, embodied state. Like the Dzogchen rigpa and the Buddhist sunyata, the embodied state has been described as "like coming home at last." The practices mix bliss (the complete surrender to the deep energies of the body) with presence (immaculate mindfulness) and provide an audacious ride to the center of what is. The Institute promotes the teaching and practices of Will Johnson and also functions as a custodian for Ida Rolf's spiritual vision of balance: The Line.
