Virtual Presence
Course
description
Body language coaching for women whose work depends on communication - including speakers, consultants, educators, lawyers, coaches, and other professionals.
You may be preparing for an important interview or presentation, stepping into a leadership role, becoming more visible in meetings, working with clients on Zoom, or recording a webinar or educational video.
You know your work. You are prepared. But your delivery does not always reflect the confidence and expertise you already have.
You may want to appear more confident without becoming rigid, bring more warmth without losing authority, or feel as natural online as you do in person.
Virtual Presence helps your delivery reflect your expertise. It is not about body language tricks, "power poses," or performing confidence. It's about aligning your presence, connection, and delivery so your communication builds trust, holds attention, and feels more natural, grounded, and effective.

About Anna
I’m Anna Karpukhina, a movement director and embodiment coach with more than 22 years of experience working with the body, movement, and presence.
My professional experience has trained me to notice subtle physical patterns - in posture, tension, gestures, eye contact, and the way a person occupies space - that are often difficult to recognize on your own.
In Virtual Presence work, I translate these observations into practical, personalized changes you can apply to your own professional communication. The goal is not to teach you to perform confidence or imitate someone else’s style, but to help your natural strengths come through more clearly.
How I work
Before we meet, you send me one or more videos of your real professional communication.
I analyze your videos and identify the physical communication patterns that influence how you are perceived, giving you clear, practical feedback you can’t easily see on your own.
During our session, we work directly in the body and immediately apply those changes to your real communication - whether it's a presentation, meeting, interview, or client conversation.
This is not acting training.
This is not presentation scripting.
Confidence means little if people don't see it.
Build a stronger professional presence.

what Clients Say
Before: “I feel like I can move my body relatively well, but I often struggle with why. I would like to be better with self-direction. I would like to be more broad and clear with my physicality. I want to be able to make bigger choices, but also make them clear and obvious to both myself and an audience.”
After: “I feel like I have found that every part of the body can visualize an image, not just the mind. I felt impulses before I knew why I was doing it and it felt freeing - less overthinking and more experiencing. I can do a lot more when I don’t limit myself.”
Michael
Before: "Following physical impulses & seeing where they lead before questioning if they are 'right'."
After: "I’m more aware of the fluidity in my body, the connection between everything, how moving one body part can impact and change another. The power of softness and being receptive is stronger than stiffness and holding. Small changes can have a full-body impact if I let it and don’t fight against it. Weight-sharing can feel scary, but has such an openness and release and strength. I can move in cool unexpected ways to tell stories."
Sara
Before: “What my body does feels automatic, which can be good but it does not feel like it is an intentional or a choice. Example: sometimes I notice myself doing something physical and I'm not sure it's the thing that will serve the moment.” “Have a range of things - meaning to be able to do big or small or in-between.”
After: “Looser, freer. And after class #1 I was sore until Wednesday. After class #2 I was only a little sore until Sunday.” “I discovered I still can be flexible and energetic and experience the joy of movement of being in a body.”
Patrick
Before: “Getting out of my head and into my body in any way. Variety, intention, sureness, awareness. Awareness in daily life (feeling my body) and intention and variety as a performer.”
After: “More awareness of my body. More ability to pay attention to my body and get out of my head. It’s hard, but I think it’s good for me - as an actor and as a person.”
Class participant
Before: "Following impulses, letting one point lead my body into following. I would live to be more confident in my choices/actions. Let go of judgement and make bold choices!"
After: "I feel much less stiff in both my movement and my exploration of movement. Following impulse feels easier. My body can do so much more than I thought it could, and following my impulses can make some pretty cool pictures and moments. I can trust my body!"
