Yoga for personal insight and real world benefits
Yoga for personal insight and real world benefits
To spread the word about the Embodied Yoga Principles system we’re giving away high-quality instructional videos of some of our novel poses. These postures explore psychological and emotional themes such as saying no, finding life purpose, sexuality, leadership, generosity, parenting, our relationship to money.
They’re designed for personal growth, and to help get yoga off the mat. As well as being original, they are above all practical, and yoga teachers can use them to add a whole new dimension to their classes. Many can be combined with regular vinyasa sequences, and none are especially athletic so they’re accessible to all.

What people say about EYP
“Mark has pressed the refresh button on the yoga world to see the practice of yoga through the eyes of embodiment brings a welcome new view. The methods of embodiment link the practice on the yoga mat and brings it firmly out into the world of our relationships, work and all aspects of life…and extends our range of practices as yoga practitioners and yoga teachers.”“
Vidyadasa, hatha yoga teacher, UK
“Embodied Yoga offers a much needed fresh authentic perspective on yoga. It’s not offering an opportunity to float off into spiritual la-la and distance oneself from life’s suffering, on the contrary, it encourages the participant to become fully aware and to take responsibility for what is going on in their body and mind, becoming aware of patterns and shadows in a safe supported environment.“
Jane Dancey, yoga teacher, UK
“Embodied Yoga is a refreshing take on yoga as a method of self-enquiry and transformation. Highly effective for transforming your patterns of behaviour.“
Sindre, yoga teacher, Oslo, Norway
“I recommend EYP to anyone that would like to deepen in his/her own yoga practice, to get meaningful learnings far beyond the physical aspect of asanas and to enrich his/her own life through working with the body in a very simple, mindful but powerful way.
Also, as a Yoga teacher, EYP has helped me to bring more creativity and never-ending possibilities into my yoga classes. It has helped me to realise that yoga can be much more relational, ethical and fun. It has helped me to understand how everything we do on the mat is related to how we live off the mat, and that way we can make choices.
The teachers are outstanding communicators with a lot of experience and kind human beings. “
Pilar Corcuera Botana, yoga teacher, Canary Islands, Spain
