Towards Building a Healthy Body Ego: staying connected to your body

Over dit evenement

Let’s face it: staying connected to ourselves can be difficult when something unexpected happens, when we feel disappointed, or when we’re treated unfairly. We may feel overwhelmed, react automatically, or lose our sense of choice.

This workshop offers space to explore how connecting with our body can support us in these moments. Drawing on Bodynamics, a body-oriented approach to psychology, we’ll explore the relationship between muscles, movement, and psychological resources through simple, accessible exercises.

Together, we’ll practise tools for grounding, centering, body alignment, boundaries, and nervous system regulation. The intention is to help you notice what you feel and need, find support, and create more room to choose how you respond. This is what we mean by agency: feeling that you are still you in your body and you can make choices and act on them.

There will be time to move, notice, and discover what works for you, with guidance on bringing these practices into everyday situations.

No previous experience is needed. An e-booklet is included in the workshop fee, so you can continue practising at home, at your own pace.

For now, we’re offering short workshops, with a longer series planned for the future.

**What is a healthy body ego?**
In Bodynamics, the body ego is our felt sense of ourselves through the body: “I am here, I can feel myself, and this body is mine.” A healthy body ego supports us in sensing our needs and boundaries, feeling supported, and staying connected to ourselves while relating to others. Drawing on Can’s 20 years of experience in yoga, Buddhism, and somatic practices, alongside exercises inspired by Bodynamics, this workshop offers guidance to reconnect with your body and reclaim your sense of agency.
