Through strategic somatic methods, Abigail Rose Clarke’s work creates lasting change in our personal and professional lives, rippling out from individual to systemic change.
Utilizing strategic, somatic methods, her work creates lasting change in our personal and
professional lives, rippling out from individual to systemic change. By helping people
truly inhabit their own skin and blood and guts and bones she offers a way to re-enter
into true relationship with the world.
As the developer of The Embodied Life Method™, Abigail teaches embodiment as a
practice and a responsibility. As the world changes so dramatically we are tasked with
the enormous responsibility of remaining present to the world as it is, which requires we
remain present to ourselves as we are. From here, the way forward becomes possible.
Her work is enormously influenced by her study and practice of Embodyoga® of which she is a senior teacher, as well as her background as a trained scientist.
3 Key Points
- Masterful leaders have creative and impactful ideas because they leave themselves the mental space to respond effectively
- Leaders with presence lead with confident control, rather than domination
- Sustainable impact must come from a personal grounding in values and truth
Quote
“When we’re relaxed, and grounded, and exhaling all the way… [the brain] takes in various perspectives, ideas, and information, and then comes up with a creative solution.”
