A Way To Expand Consciousness and Concentrate Attention.
Awareness through the Body (ATB) is a comprehensive curriculum of exercises that aims to raise awareness and enable children – and adults as well – to become conscious of their own perceptions and abilities so that they may become self-aware, self-directed individuals. The activities are creative and often fun; they develop gradually and encourage concentration, focus, relaxation and a sense of accomplishment.

Joan’s Life Sessions in Auroville are now available on YouTube! You can listen to them on the channel “Inhabit Your Body Now.” These sessions offer a gentle way to consciously inhabit your body, inviting a sense of ease and deep presence. They open a door to the quiet, peaceful self and the sense of ‘being’. Take a moment, tune in, and enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/

Hold the stick lightly with just the tip of your finger, applying only enough pressure to keep it from falling. Stay attentive and listen carefully to your partner through the movements of the stick. When you both feel tuned, start moving together through the space, focused on the shared connection.

🌍✨ ATB International Gathering 2025
A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for the online ATB Gathering on November 16th.
We had more than 90 people registered, and at the peak around 50 of us were connected live, sharing presence, stories, and the thread of ATB across the world.
The testimonials and images you see in this post are small extracts from the presentations shared by facilitators and practitioners — glimpses of ATB alive in classrooms, communities, workshops, and personal practice over the last years.
Each photo carries a piece of the diversity, beauty, and uniqueness that this community brings.
Thank you to all who are part of this ongoing movement — whether you were with us live, watching the recording, or simply holding ATB in your daily life. 💛
Let’s keep this sense of connection alive as we continue exploring, learning, and supporting each other across countries and contexts.

ATB in Kindergarten (the second book of Aloka Martí and Joan Sala) is translated in dutch. A Dutch foreword is written by Jelly Bijlsma (Klassenkracht).
~What a privilege it is that young children are able to discover at this age what most of us only discover much later in life: the development of attention, awareness, and inner peace. During my visit to Auroville (South India) in December 2024, I was deeply moved by the naturalness with which these skills are taught—not as something extra or special, but as a natural basis for education and development.~
