The body is the vehicle that we’ve leased to conduct our exploration of duality and physicality. It’s the laboratory in which pure consciousness touches sleeping matter and shakes it awake.

Embodyoga® invites the Self that knows no form or limits to directly touch and know the Self within form through the medium of cellular awareness. It is an inquiry into the essential nature of the body systems, organs, tissues, and skeletal supports. From the moment that sperm and egg unite and cells begin to multiply, an incomprehensible number of microscopic events unfold in perfect succession. We unravel in the direction of a blueprint enclosed in the seed that released us.

Embodyoga® seeks to trace this unraveling and bring it to the big screen of our consciousness. The practice is an ancient dance that we all have danced before, only now our gestures are visible and the fully developed adult mind is invited to watch and join.

Patty Townsend teaches the Yoga of embodiment, and she’s developed a series of practices and learning disciplines that engage students directly in a process of Swadyaya (self-study) while exploring classical yogic postures and breathing techniques.
