Global Impact Musician Weekly Snapshot No.8
Meet Global Impact Musician’s Embodiment coach, Antonina Sterina
Antonina Sterina
For this week’s snapshot, we are honored to introduce Antonina Sterina, Global Impact Musician’s embodiment coach, who has been working with our students every Monday to explore how awareness, movement, and consistent practice can shape the way they show up in their personal, artistic, and professional lives.
What is Embodiment?
Embodiment practice helps students build awareness through the body, noticing how their physical habits, emotions, thoughts, and creative choices are connected. It turns ideas like confidence, presence, and purpose into lived action.

Quick Q&A with Antonina:
What has working with Global Impact Musician meant to you personally?
“I always dreamed of working with students in a long-term program and witnessing how regular embodiment practice could support their growth over time. In many ways, that dream came true. This year, even as a teacher, I moved through the same highs and lows as the students: excitement, joy, doubt, and confidence. Through it all, the journey kept teaching me one thing: keep doing what you believe in, even when things are difficult or uncertain. Just keep going.”
What do you want the GIM students carry with them beyond the program?
“I hope they carry with them the understanding that embodiment is how we bring our ideas, music, thoughts, and dreams into real life through the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual parts of ourselves. It is not about knowing many practices, but about choosing one or two and returning to them every day and staying consistent. By noticing our patterns in the body, we can begin to shift how we feel, think, and act in life.”

Antonina’s Message to You:
“If you know what you are doing, you can do anything. Awareness can truly help you achieve your goals. Stay aware, stay curious, and stand kindly for your truth. And remember to ask yourself, ‘How are you now?’”
