Hey, I’m Pim
I have studied yoga and meditation for eight years. These practices have entirely changed my life and I am now committed to sharing what I’ve learned with you.
It all began in India when I trained as a yoga instructor and found the flow of movement with breath to be the most enchanting, healing experience. I could touch in on these blissful gaps between thoughts and all of a sudden, it felt good to be in my body again.
Curious to learn more, I trained as a meditation teacher, a process which has transformed my experience of how I see the world. The impact of meditating is so far reaching, but something I am particularly fascinated by is the limits we place on ourselves; how we often think our experience of reality is how things truly are. When we meditate, we learn to befriend the mind and find our habitual thought patterns being dismantled. What previously held us back dissolves away as we catch glimpse after glimpse of the essence of who we truly are, beyond the layers of conditioning and past experiences we have accumulated.
My movement practice has evolved over the years of my own practice and teaching and my current fascination is with what it means to be embodied. When so often we numb out or develop coping mechanisms in order not to feel, how does this impact our ability to process our emotions, to communicate in our relationships and to feel the magic of life coursing through us? I am passionate about exploring how movement can reanimate our physical experience and, along the way, how that can reawaken a felt sense of connection and belonging to the world around us.
I am currently training as a psychotherapist with the Karuna Institute, who offer a model called Mindfulness Based Core Process Psychotherapy. I am finding these studies, which draw on Buddhist practices and place a deep emphasis on the embodied experience, truly fascinating. This approach to therapy which draws on Eastern philosophies is incredibly inspiring and opens the potential to develop a therapeutic practice which draws many of my interests together.
My offer to you is to be your guide as you move towards a remembrance of this part of yourself, this state of Being, where you get to experience the peace and radical freedom of your own true nature. Whether though learning to meditate, signing up for my digital Embodiment library, gathering together monthly in Cornwall or joining me on retreat somewhere around the world - we can work together to further explore this part of yourself, what it means for you and, ultimately, to bring it to life.
