732. What We Lose When We Stop Moving – with Erwan Le Corre show art 732. What We Lose When We Stop Moving – with Erwan Le Corre

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I had the chance to sit down with Erwan Le Corre, one of the leading voices in natural movement. We dug into why movement matters far beyond fitness, how our bodies are designed for adaptability, and what we lose when we stop moving the way humans evolved to. Erwan also shares his passion for breath work, including his own record-breaking breath-hold training, and why breathing is just as fundamental as movement for resilience and health. We explore the difference between training for show and training for life, and how reconnecting with simple, natural practices can change the way you feel...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I dive into why working with the body is so powerful in coaching and training. You can’t just tell someone to “feel differently” or “think positive” and expect it to work. But when we shift the body, perspective changes, and that makes transformation possible. In this session I share practical ways to bring embodiment into coaching, from noticing patterns, to creating more useful states, to simple centering practices that reduce stress and open up creativity. We also explore self-care, boundaries, culture, and why disembodiment is such a modern epidemic. If you coach, lead, or simply...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

In this session I explore what it really means to teach confidence. Not just telling people to “be confident,” but showing them how through embodiment, modelling, and practice. I share ways I work with clients and students — from exaggeration and contrast exercises, to using archetypes like Freddie Mercury, to simple poses that shift how we carry ourselves. We look at how confidence is often learned unconsciously, why it’s more about “how you do you” than copying someone else, and how even a minute a day of practice can make a difference. ...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I wanted to discuss a subject that gets talked about a lot but rarely taught well: self-care. I share what I’ve learned from years of coaching and teaching people around the world, including the mistakes I’ve made, the traps most teachers fall into, and the difference between real self-care and consumer nonsense. We also look at how culture shapes what people think they need, and why teaching self-care is different from just giving lifestyle tips. This session is taken from our 2024 Self-Care event. ----------------------------------------------- As a special gift for you, our loyal...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

In this session I break down the most common mistakes I see facilitators making - whether you’re a coach, trainer, yoga teacher, martial artist, or anyone leading groups. After decades of teaching in over 50 countries, I’ve seen the same patterns crop up again and again, and I wanted to put them all in one place. I talk about the practical traps that can derail a session, the mindset issues that limit impact, and the blind spots facilitators often don’t see until it’s too late. I also share the habits that separate great facilitators from average ones, and how small shifts can make...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I sat down with Steve March, founder of Aletheia Coaching, to explore what it really means to coach beyond surface-level change. We talked about his unique developmental model, how it integrates somatic, emotional, and cognitive work, and why true transformation often means going deeper than goals or performance. Steve shared insights from decades of experience in the coaching world, including his time teaching at New Ventures West and the evolution of his own practice. We dug into the difference between fixing problems and fostering growth, how to work with clients at multiple layers of...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I sat down with Dr. Srikumar Rao, one of the most popular speakers from the Embodiment Conference, to explore what really makes people happy or unhappy. We talked about why most of us aren’t living in the “real world”, how our mental chatter creates unnecessary suffering, and the practical ways to step out of that trap. Srikumar shares how ancient wisdom traditions can be translated into everyday life without losing their depth, and why letting go of the need to control everything is key to freedom. We discuss the limits of success, the illusion of security, and how to shift your mindset...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

If you've ever wondered what the most powerful coaching tool is, you won’t find it in a book or behind a paywall. It’s you. In this solo episode, I unpack the real heart of coaching - not just techniques or tricks, but the human being behind them. I talk about how personal presence, lived experience, and behavioural range shape the effectiveness of any coach. We get into what it means to teach through who you are, why embodied wisdom matters more than intellectual knowledge, and how real transformation demands practice, not just ideas. I also explore different learning styles, the...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

I’ve spent the past two years teaching trauma education in Ukraine - sometimes in classrooms, sometimes in basements, and once or twice with air raid sirens going off overhead. In this solo episode, I share what that’s actually been like. I talk about what trauma education looks like in a country where it’s not a luxury, but a lifeline. I’ve worked with therapists, teachers, soldiers, and volunteers, and I’ve learned a lot about what helps, what doesn’t, and what most of the Western trauma world gets wrong. This is also a personal one. I talk honestly about burnout, about coming...

The Embodiment Coaching Podcast

Stephen Jenkinson doesn’t offer comfort. He offers presence, precision and poetry. In this wide-ranging and unsparing conversation, we explore what it means to live in a time of endings, and why grief isn’t something to get over, but something to serve. We speak about the crisis of meaning in modern life, the cost of a death-phobic culture, and how elderhood is a task, not a stage. Stephen challenges the spiritual bypasses of modern healing work, questions the ease with which people chase transcendence, and asks what it might take to stay loyal to a world that breaks your heart.
