The reality is, organisations may teach people how to do their jobs, but they don’t show them how to manage the stress they will be placed under. As such, people are left to their own to figure out how to manage unhelpful body sensations, thoughts, feelings, emotions and stress they encounter.
The Mindfulness-in-Action experience offered by Embodied Performance Coaching teaches individuals and teams inner fitness strategies to manage their relationship with stress, and how to change their relationship with unhelpful thoughts and emotions. The outcome is the ability to purposefully show up with clarity, presence and composure.
Through applying the Mindfulness-in-Action Model, we explore with participants four, but interrelated competencies of mindful-embodied fitness. This is accomplished by taking participants through either a virtual or in-person experiential workshop. Throughout the workshop we explore both the research behind the Mindfulness-in-Action model, and the tools of ’embodied fitness’ by asking participants to actively engage with the experience first hand. In other words, each participants learn the importance of the embodied fitness skills we teach by doing experiencing them first hand.
Undoubtedly this is one of the key differentiators of the Mindfulness-in-Action approach. We focus on ensuring that participants are engaged mind, body and spirit throughout the entire workshop experience. We achieve this by introducing, and coaching participants through an accessible series of embodied based experiences, which includes breath work. As such, we coach participants how to actively ‘embody’ the inner fitness tools being taught in real time.

we learn by doing them.”
