Embodiment Coaching Series – Free Training for Coaches and Facilitators
Knowing an embodiment technique is one thing. Knowing what to do with a real person when words, insight, or a familiar exercise are not moving the session forward is a different skill.
The Embodiment Coaching Series gives you a close-up look at that decision-making process through six free live sessions led by five experienced teachers. You will see how coaches notice changes in breathing, posture, movement, and expression without jumping to conclusions about what those signals mean.
The sessions explore what happens when an exercise is not helping, when a client understands a pattern but remains stuck, when two people with similar goals may need different approaches, and how learning from a session can become useful in ordinary life.
You can attend whether you already work with clients, facilitate groups, or are simply considering becoming a coach. You may put yourself forward for coaching or participate entirely as an observer.
Why Attend The Embodiment Coaching Series
A person can understand a pattern intellectually and still find that their body does something different in the moment. A voice may become quieter, breathing may change, posture may shift, or an exercise that seemed appropriate may simply fail to help. These moments give a coach information to explore, but they do not provide an automatic answer.
The Embodiment Coaching Series lets you watch how experienced coaches work with that uncertainty. Rather than only teaching isolated techniques, the sessions focus on noticing what is happening, checking assumptions with the client, choosing an intervention, and changing course when the situation calls for it.
You will also hear coaches explain why they chose a particular direction and what else they might have tried. That makes the series useful both for people already working with clients and for those who want to see what embodiment coaching actually looks like before deciding whether to train in it.
Who Should Attend The Embodiment Coaching Series
This series is especially relevant if you already use coaching, facilitation, centring, boundaries work, movement, or embodiment practices and want to become more skillful about deciding when and how to use them. It also addresses the practical problem of what to do when a session does not unfold the way you expected.
You do not need previous embodiment training or coaching experience to join. If you are considering becoming a coach, the live demonstrations can help you see how exercises are introduced, how the coach checks whether they are helping, and how much judgment and practice the work involves.
- Practising coaches who want to strengthen their moment-to-moment decision-making
- Facilitators who work with groups, movement, awareness, or embodied practices
- People who already know centring, boundaries, or similar exercises but are unsure when to use them
- Experienced embodiment practitioners who want to respond more flexibly when a session changes direction
- People considering professional coach training
- Beginners who want to watch embodiment coaching before learning techniques themselves
- Anyone curious about how breath, posture, movement, and expression can become part of a coaching conversation
- Participants who prefer to observe rather than volunteer for live coaching
What You’ll Learn During The Embodiment Coaching Series
The series focuses on the gap between knowing a technique and knowing how to coach a particular person. You will see how an embodiment coach notices what changes in the client and then checks whether that observation is relevant instead of assuming what it means.
You will also explore how experienced coaches choose between possible exercises, adapt when something is not helping, and recognize when slowing down, stopping, or suggesting a different kind of help may be more appropriate.
Across the two days, the sessions connect what happens inside a coaching conversation with what the client can actually use afterward. The emphasis is on responsive coaching rather than mechanically applying a predetermined exercise.
- How changes in breath or posture can give a coach something useful to explore
- Why observing an embodied change is different from deciding what that change means
- How to check an observation with the client before building a coaching intervention around it
- Why the same goal may call for different approaches with different people
- How a coach chooses one exercise or technique over another
- What to consider when an exercise is not helping
- When it may make sense to adapt an exercise, stop, or suggest a different kind of help
- Where a coach might go when a client understands the issue but keeps returning to the same pattern
- How live coaching decisions can be reviewed afterward to understand what else might have been tried
- How to help a client choose something small and practical to use when the same issue appears in ordinary life
How Embodiment Coaching Brings the Body Into the Conversation
Embodiment coaching pays attention to more than a client’s verbal explanation. A coach may notice a change in breathing, posture, voice, movement, or another embodied response and use that observation as a possible opening for exploration.
The observation itself is not treated as proof of what the client is feeling. The coach needs to ask, check the relevance of what was noticed, and work with the client to decide what happens next.
That may involve trying a small movement or exercise and seeing what changes. It may also involve adapting the exercise, slowing down, choosing something different, or recognizing that another kind of support would be more appropriate.
- Notice what changes without assuming that you already know why
- Bring the observation into the conversation with curiosity
- Choose an experiment that fits the individual rather than applying a technique automatically
- Pay attention to whether the intervention is actually helping
- Adjust the plan when the client’s response points in another direction
Featured Teachers and What They Cover
The series brings together five teachers from the Embodiment Unlimited teaching team. Each session examines a different coaching challenge, from noticing embodied changes to adapting an intervention and helping clients use what they learn outside the session.
Mark Walsh – Founder of Embodiment Unlimited
Mark Walsh founded Embodiment Unlimited, wrote The Body in Coaching and Training, and has taught coaching and embodiment internationally for more than 20 years. He leads two sessions: a live coaching demonstration with a volunteer and a comparison of how different people with similar goals may call for different coaching approaches.
Christina Dohr – Embodiment Coach & Somatic Educator
Christina Dohr leads “What Did You Notice?” The session looks at what changes in breathing or posture might offer a coach to explore and how easily observation can turn into assumption.
Flouer Evelyn – Embodiment Facilitator & Dance Teacher
Flouer Evelyn leads “Still Stuck?” The session focuses on what a coach might do when a client understands the problem intellectually but continues to fall into the same familiar pattern.
Vanessa Schulz – Burnout Prevention Coach
Vanessa Schulz leads “What If the Exercise Isn’t Helping?” The session examines when a coach might change an exercise, stop it, or consider whether another kind of support would serve the client better.
Dr. Kandis Lock, ND – Health & Trauma-Aware Coach
Dr. Kandis Lock leads “Does It Work in Real Life?” The session explores how learning from a coaching session can be made useful when the client returns to everyday situations and the same challenge appears again.

How to Get the Most From The Embodiment Coaching Series
Because every session addresses a different coaching question, it helps to watch for the decision-making process rather than trying to collect techniques. Notice what the coach observes, what they ask next, and how the client’s response influences the direction of the session.
If you already coach or facilitate, compare what you see with your own habits. If you are new to coaching, use the sessions to notice how much of the work involves attention, judgment, conversation, and adaptation rather than simply knowing an exercise.
Notice the Sequence
Watch how a coach moves from observation to a question, from a question to an experiment, and from the client’s response to the next decision.
Separate Observation From Interpretation
Pay attention to the difference between noticing a shift in breathing or posture and deciding what that shift means. The sessions repeatedly return to checking with the client rather than assuming.
Watch for Changes of Plan
Some of the most useful moments may happen when the first idea does not work. Notice when a teacher adapts, stops, or considers another direction.
Choose the Sessions That Fit Your Questions
You do not need to attend all six. Select the sessions that match the coaching situations you most want to understand, or attend the full two-day series to compare several different kinds of decisions.
About Mark Walsh and Embodiment Unlimited
Mark Walsh is the founder of Embodiment Unlimited and the author of The Body in Coaching and Training. He has taught coaching and embodiment internationally for more than 20 years.
In The Embodiment Coaching Series, Mark leads the live coaching demonstration and a second session comparing different possible approaches for people who may share a similar goal. Both sessions emphasize the reasoning behind the intervention rather than presenting a technique as a universal answer.
The other four presenters are members of the Embodiment Unlimited teaching team: Christina Dohr, an Embodiment Coach & Somatic Educator; Flouer Evelyn, an Embodiment Facilitator & Dance Teacher; Vanessa Schulz, a Burnout Prevention Coach; and Dr. Kandis Lock, ND, a Health & Trauma-Aware Coach.
Together, the teaching team uses the six-session format to show several sides of embodied coaching practice: noticing, questioning, experimenting, adapting, working with stuck patterns, and helping clients bring useful learning back into everyday life.
