Bringing Somatics and Embodiment to Insight Timer

Insight Timer invited me to create a video series on somatics and a course on embodiment. Here is what is coming, and how you can practice with me on the world's largest free meditation app.

I have some news I have been waiting to share. Insight Timer invited me to create a series of videos on somatics and a course on embodiment. After years of teaching there with my voice alone, I get to bring this work to the screen.

A teacher since the early days

I have been a teacher on Insight Timer since 2020, back when it was mostly a simple meditation timer. Since then it has grown into the world's largest free wellness app, home to a global community of tens of millions of people who come to rest, breathe, and pay attention to their inner life.

Until now, everything I made there was audio. I hosted more than 200 live sessions and published a course called How to Improve Your Sleep in 10 Days with Awareness. Those recordings taught me how much can change when you guide someone gently, with nothing but sound and presence.

What is coming next

This new project moves the work into video, and there is a lot of it:

  • 16 free videos on somatics, with new ones uploading every week. Eight are already live and finding their audience.
  • A 7-day embodiment course for the Insight Timer premium tier.
  • Free live events beginning in June 2026, open to anyone in the community.

Somatics is the study of the body from the inside out. Embodiment is what happens when that awareness becomes the way you live, move, and meet your days. Bringing both to video means you can finally see the small, careful movements that words can only point toward.

If you are curious, here are three short pieces to begin with. Each one stands on its own.
