“I appreciate that the information has been synthesized in a clear way. This body of work provides a balance of non-authoritative structure with kindness, self-permission, and luxuriating that feels like a necessary and exciting piece. It fills the gap of "what's been missing" in previous experiences of meditation for me.” - Malia, Movement Teacher

"Thank you Jamie for your work, for your journeys from the outside in with physical stepping stones that help me to anchor in and connect with the physicality of my being. It is truly a treasure for me." - Elisabeth, Teacher

"Jamie's work is a pure undoing of what binds and limits, a place of spectacular simplicity which speaks to the soul and body and fulfills a yearning for allowing a simple, "being with one´s breath and body". A way of finding home. – Didier, Workshop Leader

Module 1 - Fall 2025

November 4-December 16, 2025 - Holiday Pause -
January 6-February 3, 2026

Tuesdays, 10-11:30AM PT/1-2:30PM ET/7-8:30PM CET

Module 1 consists of 12 live weekly online classes, video recordings of all practices and theory, and two individual consultations

Embodied Mindfulness is an easily repeatable daily somatic sitting practice designed for the modern body/mind by Jamie McHugh. These embodied practices highlight stillness, using the focused somatic activities of breath, vocalization, contact, and movement to occupy the mind so the body can settle. Attention to comfort, support and ease of the body in sitting while exploring the movement of breathing is a direct path for relaxing into our interior and centering our mind. 

Over the course of this 12-week program, you will learn a developmental sequence of 24 body-based contemplative sitting practices to expand your capacity for ease, patience and focus. These somatically informed practices:

- Introduce basic anatomy touchstones for objective information and orientation to the landscape of the body

- Highlight a felt experience of one’s body from the inside out for subjective information

- Integrate the somatic technologies of breath, vocalization, self-contact, movement and stillness into a comprehensive template for bodily awareness and emotional well-being

In each 90 minute class session, you are guided in two unique 20 minute practices with time for personal exploration and assimilation; and engaged in interactive dialogue, reflective response, and theory.

Practice recordings are available for your personal use to repeat and integrate the material during the week, with daily 15-20” practice acting as the keystone of this module.

Two individual consultations focusing on practice and theory are included for more personalized attention.
