In Part 1 of this teaching, John explored the natural tension between how we practice and why we practice—how easy it is to get lost in theory, or to feel disconnected from the deeper heart of embodiment when life’s demands pull us away.
In Part 2, we continue this exploration, deepening into how embodiment and polarity serve as anchors—ways to return to love, to presence, and to deeper connection with ourselves and others, not just in structured practice, but in every facet of life.
This is an invitation to meet yourself exactly as you are, without judgment or expectation. To remember that embodiment is not a rigid structure, but a living practice—one that invites you to feel the truth of the moment moving through your body, guiding you back to what matters most.
In this 15-minute teaching from Fierce Love (Austin, 2024), John expands on these themes, offering insight into how we can use this work to cultivate resilience, depth, and devotion—not just on the mat, but in how we move through the world.
If you are seeking inspiration to return to your practice, to deepen your relationship with presence, and to understand why this work matters beyond theory, this teaching offers a profound reminder of what it means to live embodiment as love.
