WHO’S LEADING IT?
Moi. The course is lead by myself and I’ll have some guests on who also know their craft. Basically, I do this stuff myself every morning to work and feel better so thought I’d share it! These are my top practical tools, tried and tested, and made super accessible.

Fair enough, here’s a Centring e-book on one of the main tools we’ll use.
Centring e-book
Why mindfulness alone isn’t enough.
The definitive guide to managing stress with the body, for trainers, coaches and facilitators
by Mark Walsh and other members of the Embodied Facilitator Course community
“We are the first system we must learn to manage” – Stuart Heller
“If you want to help someone – get yourself together” – Wendy Palmer
Why would anyone be interested in centring (self-regulation through the body)?
Well, you could look at it this way: what if there were a piece of technology available which could improve literally anything you do? What if it was free, took very little time to learn, measurably improved performance across a huge range of tasks, reduced stress, and improved both individual well-being, performance and relationships? What if there was something always available and good for your health that could improve every aspect of life? Happily, such “technology” does exist; it’s a set of body-mind techniques known as “centring”.
We all need to manage ourselves. This book is about how to do that more effectively. It is especially aimed at facilitators, trainers and coaches of all kinds who wish to support others in managing themselves too. Martial arts, dance and yoga teachers will also find it helpful for supporting students.
What you’ll get from this book:
- practical techniques to improve your own happiness, relationships and productivity
- tools to enhance your facilitation skills
- a thorough grounding in the deeper principles, so you can work creatively
- practical techniques you can bring to clients right away, adding value to your offers
- clarification of the often woolly theory of centring
- the science of centring, so you can better “sell” the idea to clients
Introduction
We can all regulate ourselves at times; we’re not toddlers having tantrums at any mishap. However, this vital life skill can be more or less developed. There’s
But the centring practices available in this e-book will!
