The Embodied Gen
Welcome to The Embodied Gen — a caring, grounded space for children, youth, parents, and educators who want to really connect with their bodies and minds. Embodiment means paying attention to how your body, feelings, and thoughts all come together to shape your experience.
At the heart of this is somatics — a simple, body-based way to tune in to yourself with kindness. Somatics helps you notice what your body’s telling you, release stuck patterns, and heal in a way that feels natural. It’s about sensing and feeling your body from the inside out, because our experiences—especially the hard stuff like stress and trauma—live in our bodies, not just our heads.
This body-based awareness is key to true wellbeing and freedom. When we learn to listen to and care for our bodymind as a whole, we start to reclaim our power, step into our autonomy, and heal old wounds. Somatics supports real change by helping us break free from the ways society’s expectations and past experiences try to hold us back.
We offer straightforward courses, guides, and practices rooted in somatics, mindfulness, yoga, and child-focused approaches that center every child’s voice. Parents and educators matter just as much here — this is a shared journey. We also believe in standing up for children’s rights because that’s part of the work.
Explore at your own pace. We’re here to support you in living a more embodied, joyful, and grounded life that fits you.

About
The Embodied Gen exists because we believe every child and caregiver deserves to feel seen, heard,
and free to be themselves — no judgment, no limits.
Our approach blends somatics, mindfulness, and yoga with Childism, which puts children’s rights
and voices front and center. We honour neurodiversity and all the many ways people move and think differently.
We’re here for families and educators who want honest connection, real autonomy, and kindness.
This is a space for growth grounded in trust and respect.
Founder
Hi, I'm Mahta Collings, founder of The Embodied Gen—somatic movement and art expression facilitator, educator, and advocate for embodied liberation. My work brings together somatic movement, somatic art and somatic yoga, as well as trauma-informed and educational yoga for children and youth, with a focus on social emotional learning and neurodiversity. With an MSc in Child Studies, I’m dedicated to nurturing autonomy, agency, and authentic living for families, educators, and communities.
But this is not just about me—it’s about us and the work we do together. I see myself as a facilitator here, not a leader; there’s no hierarchy between us. When I use “we,” it’s to honour and reflect the shared spirit behind this space. You’re just as big a part of this as I am. We’re not just working on our individual selves; we’re creating ripples that bring this work and transformation into the world, challenging systems of oppression and shifting things together as a community.
