THE RHYTHMIC BODY with Natalie Orr: Recent Episodes
Natalie
What does it mean to be human? How do our internal rhythms shape our perception of the external world? Why do we dance and make music? Where is reality really experienced? Combining evolutionary thinking with anthropology and anecdote we explore what it means to be a human in the modern world. We question what is really means to be a healthy human on a healthy planet and how we can shift from surviving to thriving.I’m Natalie, a Success Coach and Dance Expert with a Masters in Dance Anthropology and a curiosity for how we can empower ourselves to create a better internal and external world. This podcast explores topics such as perfectionism, holistic health, dance, music, community, culture and empowerment.

In this second episode of My series on Mother Nature, I explore the power of meditation, non-religious prayer, and affirmation as tools to connect with our bodies, our inner selves, and the natural world. Whether you are trying to conceive, struggling with infertility, or simply seeking to deepen your relationship with your own fertility and the cycles of life, this video offers a gentle and supportive space to reflect, breathe, and visualize.

“Mr Embodiment” (Mark Walsh) is the author of Embodiment, Working with the Body in Training and Coaching, and Embodied Meditation. He hosts The Embodiment Podcast (1 million+ downloads), and led The Embodiment Conference (1000 teachers, 500,000 delegates). Seeing a theme yet?
He founded the Embodied Facilitator Course, and has trained over 2000 embodiment coaches in over 40 other countries (some of which will even let him back in).
He gained an honours in psychology (despite been an alcoholic at the time), and has taught widely in the corporate world where he pretended to be a grown up for years, including with blue-chip companies (e.g. Google, Unilever, Shell, Axa, L’Oreal) whom he charged wayyyy too much as they made him wear a suit.
He has also upset… sorry, taught… many yogis, NGOs, police officers and several militaries.
He has worked in war zones, and entertained over 50,000 children. He has headlined International Coach Federation events, taught at Moscow State University, lived with the circus in Ethiopia, taught celebrities and kissed a princess.
Mark is an aikido black belt, and also has 25 years of experience of other martial arts, with yoga, bodywork, improv comedy, conscious dance and meditation.
Embodiment is his obsession, life’s work, and frankly at this point he couldn’t get a job doing anything else. He dances like your dad at a wedding, overshares about his gorgeous Ukrainian wife, and offends pirates with his swearing.
He is now tired of writing in the third person.
