Embodied Presence is a mindfulness based yoga practice designed to allow men to become more present in life and attune with their body through meditation and breathwork. EP includes both evening and morning sessions. Embodied Presence takes place in what looks like a traditional group yoga class. But what we focus on is a more trauma informed method of yoga that creates safe space and uses interoception (or being able to feel their bodies internally) and choice making (moving in ways that support their own bodies) so that clients can learn to connect to and trust their bodies again.

Active addiction disconnects people from the sense of their bodies and Embodied Presence helps to re-connect them. EP allows clients to become more comfortable in their own skin and more present in their own lives. And when people can be more present for themselves, they can be more present for others. They learn that they can positively affect their lives in ways that not only keep them sober, but allow them to live more fully and more authentically – with themselves, with the people they love, and in community.
