Here are what some of our wonderful students would like you to know about the Embodiment Lab:
"I was just slowly making my way through the Lab and was listening in on the 1st call. And just sensing you and Carl and the kindness that you radiate as you offer these embodiment practices and the beauty of poetry and teachings that have moved you... And I'm just grateful because I feel that despite my own long search through many embodiment spaces and practices, I don't think I have felt this unconditional kindness in the context of learning.
It is healing for me to be exploring the body in these movement and inquiry practices in that field of kindness." - Diana Ng in Singapore

Erin and Carl are two of the kindest teachers and the gentlest, most patient guides I have ever met. In addition to offering wonderful movement lessons, poetry and food for thought, they’ve fostered a nurturing community in the lab. The Zoom calls each month are so helpful and life-affirming especially during the pandemic. The Embodiment Lab is a unique, precious offering.

What amazing changes have come to my life since I started in The Embodiment Lab in October 2019! I know this work is transforming me and I'm deeply grateful. Joining The Embodiment Lab has changed my life in many ways, big and small, all of them good. The learning goes far beyond the body and the influences have rippled out into every area of my life. Erin & Carl offer an exceptional blend of guided practices, movement lessons, and rich food for reflection. Their compassion and authenticity are unflagging and deeply inspiring. I’m so grateful to be a part of this open-minded and supportive learning community.

What has the Embodiment Lab done for me? I’m not quite sure which aspect has been more transformative - this explorative Feldenkrais work on my body with the loving, knowledgeable SomaWizards Erin and Carl? the slower, more appreciative way I look at and move in the world – the sense that I am really connected to the above and below? the sense of acceptance and possibility I feel with my Lab friends in our community calls, where humor and wisdom pour out and fill me?
This work is a daily, nurturing, vital lifeline in all these ways, from my very first guided meditation in April in the first dark days of the shutdown, after which I gushed, “Oh WOW! Being part of this Embodiment Lab is the BEST thing I could do for myself, for my family, for my community, and for the world, right NOW. I've just finished these 24 minutes and feel a warm, loving, hopeful glow of love and of healing and of peace, and even, better, I feel a sense of optimism for the future.” Every video, every movement lesson, every call has revealed myself – physical, emotional, spiritual - to myself. Almost every encounter has resulted in a breakthrough of some sort that showed up just in time.
Over my months in the lab, Erin and Carl have taught me to be brave – to not fear or cover up the pain in my aging, injured body, but to gently admit and question the presence of pain, to gently work with, not against the tender places, being kind as with a beloved child. And they have taught me to appreciate this glorious body that is home to my spirit; no more do I shame my belly or grumble at a pain in my hip. I’m much more respectful and thankful for the lifetime of experiences this body has provided me.
My most recent revelation was in the movement lesson just last week that worked with the pain I’ve feared the most – my “troublesome” low back. “I worked slowly through . . . pausing the audio from time to time . . . I felt pain in my sacroiliac joint, but I didn't run away! I paused the audio, continued exploring slowly, lifted my left leg further away from my hip joint and pointing my knee to the left - "How is it here?", more left, then the right, "How is it here?" and right. I could pinpoint exactly the place of irritation and nerve pain; I could SEE the SI joint in my mind and the compressing and lengthening of that spot that joined my L1 to my pelvis as I manipulated all the parts. It was wonderful! I so appreciate . . . this Embodiment Lab for opening up this mysterious, painful part of my body and empowering me with knowledge and practice that ends my victimhood.”
I’m not sure what state I’d be in if I hadn’t been part of the Lab community over the past 5 months. In these difficult, stressful, uncertain, changing times, I know I would be worse off. The Embodiment Lab has been and continues to be, the antidote for troubled times, both personal and global – it is the BEST thing I can do for myself, my family, my community, and for the world, right NOW.
