embodied practices

Embodied practices are activities that focus on engaging the body as a key part of learning, understanding, or experiencing something. Instead of just thinking or talking about concepts, these practices involve physical movement, sensations, and awareness to deepen understanding or develop skills. Examples include practices like yoga, dance, martial arts, or even mindful breathing. They emphasize that our thoughts and emotions are connected to bodily states, and by paying attention to our bodily experiences, we can achieve greater insight, health, and mastery in various areas of life.
