What if mindfulness didn’t feel like something you practice, but something you live?

Step into a six-week journey of Mindfulness Embodied—an invitation to land in your body, deepen your awareness, and discover how mindfulness can truly live through you, not just sit beside you as a practice.

Rooted in modalities such as Body-Mind Centering®, MBSR, Mindfulness meditation, Yoga, Contact improvisation, and Poetry, this course weaves together body, mind, heart, and environment into one supportive whole.

Inspired in part by the work of Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Thich Nhat Hanh, Jon Kabat-Zinn, and the insights of The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk, we explore how the body remembers—and how it can also become a place of rest, resilience, and aliveness.

If you long to bridge the gap between formal practice and daily life, to say yes to each moment with greater acceptance, enjoyment, and enthusiasm, this course offers an inclusive space to embody that transformation.

Wherever you are in your experience—regardless of your body’s abilities—you are warmly welcome.

Join us, and allow your practice to become part of who you are.

Background of the course

Mindfulness Embodied was created in 2024 as a natural expression of my ongoing courses and personal practice in Mindfulness, Body-Mind Centering®, Developmental Movement studies, Contact Improvisation, Embodied Movement, and non-violent communication. I am certified as a Mindfulness (MBSR) teacher, an Infant Development Movement Educator, and Hatha and Prenatal yoga instructor. With deep gratitude, I continue to expand and deepen my learning under the guidance of remarkable teachers and mentors, including Nita Little, Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Ted Meissner, Ka Rustler, Orland Bishop, Charles Eisenstein, and the vibrant global community of Contact Improvisation. Everything in this course is drawn from my own embodied experience and personal understandings. The teachings reach their fullest potential when one has a regular mindfulness practice and an ongoing curiosity for self-discovery. I invite you to bring your own unique presence to the course and discover practical and poetic ways to embody mindfulness in your daily life—so that your life naturally contributes to the world you want to create.

The Intention

The intention for this course is to land into the body and into awareness, to discover different pathways and angles, and to learn how to be Mindfully Embodied in your life day to day. Exploring further how this body is connected to the mind and the heart and the environment, and how each part can lead to rest and support the other, as well as the whole.

 

It’s vital to be able to live the formal practice not just ‘having a practice’, especially in the current world. So how to answer the question of “How does the practice show up in my days? How can I live it without losing it?” 

 

You will likely experience moments of “losing it,” or simply forgetting. The aim is not to avoid these moments, but to cultivate reliable ways of returning "again and again" until awareness becomes integrated and alive in your daily life. This integration is what I call embodiment, and it forms the foundation of this course.

Mindfulness Embodiment is a way to live, to learn to say yes to each moment, and to be aware of what this embodiment creates. It is to find a restful place within you and beyond, embodying the awareness that is constantly there. Eckhart Tolle mentions in his books the modalities of Acceptance, Enjoyment, Enthusiasm and you will be discovering these in the unique embodiment of your life.

Testimonials

Rainbow Clouds

"My six weeks with Barbora came with much curiosity and exploration of body positions, and new knowledge in ways of moving and being present in my body. The information on embryology and how we developed in the womb was not something I had known about before and opened me to a much larger perspective in how I can be in my body. Working with gravity and the earth was done in a way I hadn’t been exposed to before, as well. The piece about using each of our senses was a unique way of looking at how we interact with our environment and once again opened up different ways to use this information in my daily life and in my practice. This is a course for much exploration that can be done with curiosity and openness to new ways of understanding these beautiful bodies we inhabit." (P.O)

"I first met Barbora while taking a live online MBSR course with Imagine and was impressed by her ability to weave trauma healing into meditation. Thus, I knew the pilot course would be intentionally crafted and skillfully facilitated. It was. With a calm open presence, and gentle clarity, Barbora provided the group the context and background needed to participate in the meditations. She invited us to explore with gentle curiosity the practice of being in our bodies. Impacted by trauma on a moment-to-moment basis, the safe container which Barbora provided was beautiful. In each class I was seen and connected. And, for an exquisite moment I felt the wisdom of my body.  For that, I say Thank you. Thank you for creating the sacred space from which healing emerged.  

S.W – (she/her) (Survivor of sexual assault.

Thank you so much for this course on embodiment, rooted in embryology. It gave me a completely new and deeper perspective on mindfulness. It helped me not only to understand embodiment intellectually, but to truly feel it—deepening my awareness of how life and movement begin and unfold in human body. It made my mindfulness practice even more mindful and embodied. (KS)
