In this episode, Leonora and Mark explore why embodiment matters
for coaches themselves—not as techniques to teach clients, but as
a core practice for maintaining presence,center, and integrity
during coaching sessions. They discuss:
• Why coaches struggle with presence when they're
over-thinking or trying to be 'good' coaches
• The difference between body language (something you do)
and embodiment (something you are)
• Practical daily embodiment practices: breath, movement,
nature connection, stillness
• How state regulation and centering at the start of a
session saves time and deepens insight
• Building embodied range as a coach—moving beyond your
default patterns
• How to introduce embodiment practices to clients in a way
that feels natural and not 'woo woo'
• Common mistakes coaches make: inauthenticity, cultural
appropriation, trauma hysteria, impersonating teachers
• Mark's personal journey from intellectual crisis to
Aikido, and why diversifying practices prevestagnation
