Episode 34: Mark Walsh on Embodiment, Trauma, Gender and Ukraine

ManReimagined

In this very special addition of the Man Reimagined podcast, we welcome internationally renowned embodiment teacher, Mark Walsh.

I wanted to interview Mark in particular because he is not a man that minces words. He talks straight and is refreshingly candid in his views, whilst at the same time coming across as balanced and grounded in his thinking - a welcome thing.

Mark Walsh is the founder of the Embodied Facilitator Course, Embodied Yoga Principles, The Embodiment Podcast and the Embodiment Conference. With an honours degree in psychology, 20+ years of yoga experience and an aikido black belt, he has dedicated his life to embodied learning. He has taught everyone from street kids to the rich and famous, in over 50 countries. His hobbies include offending pirates with his swearing, impressing cats with his stroking, and embarrassing drunks with his dancing.

In the podcast we cover:

- What embodiment is

- How embodied men lead better lives as fathers, at work and in relationships

- How men and women relate to embodiment

- Mark's experience teaching at Google and the police force

- His thoughts on the oppressive patriarchy narrative

- Masculinity today and where men find themselves

- Male and female relationships

- His recent work in Ukraine teaching embodiment and trauma

- Trauma: what it is and how it is being taught today

- Why there are less men in embodiment spaces than before

- Male-friendly and female-friendly spaces
