science of being human
the journey from performance to presence
there comes a point when effort alone no longer satisfies — when you sense that what you’ve been practicing, chasing, or perfecting was only pointing you back to something simpler.
the science of being human is a four-part onlive journey from doing to being, from confusion to clarity, from performance to presence. it’s a study of life lived consciously — how body, mind, and breath reveal the same truth in different languages. because the moment you understand how you work, life starts working with you.
“what does it mean to be human, really?”

4 online live programs – 1 living science
each program is a live chapter of the same story. together they form a complete journey through the human experience. Every program is delivered live, with lifetime access to all sessions and recordings. you’re supported through a steady rhythm of practice: one guided breathwork session per week, one weekly yoga session, incl. satsang to integrate, reflect, and connect the dots between experience and understanding.
This way, learning doesn’t stay theoretical — it becomes lived, embodied, and woven into daily life.
cosmic dance universe
the rhythm of creation
discover the universal principles that shape all existence — polarity, rhythm, vibration — and how they echo through your breath and heartbeat. learn to see life itself as a wave in motion, an endless dance of energy becoming form.
this is where science meets mysticism, and the cosmos becomes personal.
mind & ego
the architecture of perception
trace how the mind builds stories, identities, and habits of survival — and how to dissolve their grip through observation. learn to navigate thought and emotion as creative tools rather than limitations.
this is the inner laboratory where neuroscience meets self-inquiry.
the human body
the language of life
explore your physical form as an intelligent ecosystem of consciousness. understand how your nine systems — from the respiratory to the nervous — mirror cosmic order and communicate through energy, emotion, and awareness.
this is yoga through anatomy, not as structure, but as symphony.
presence
the art of being
integrate everything you’ve learned into the living moment. Here, understanding becomes embodiment — the intellect quiets, and awareness takes its rightful seat.
presence is not a state you reach, but a rhythm you remember.breath and nervous system, accumulated tension dissolves and mental spaciousness returns.
instead of pushing through fatigue or distraction, this session allows you to reset your internal state — so the second half of the day unfolds with more ease, efficiency, and presence.

learning to read your own blueprint
When you understand how your system works, the pressure fades and life softens. Awareness replaces ambition. You stop trying to fix yourself — and start to meet yourself. In each program, you will:
- see how body, breath, and mind form one living network
- learn how the nervous system governs your emotional reality
- discover the energetic intelligence that underlies perception
- find gratitude in the very mechanics of being alive
This isn’t about self-improvement. It’s about self-understanding — the quiet foundation of peace.

what makes this journey different
no recordings. no rewinds. each Onlive program unfolds in real time — a living conversation, not a course
you’ll experience:
- live guided sessions with Marcus Rother
- dialogue, reflection, and embodied practice
- integration of ancient wisdom and modern science
- tools to live yoga, not perform it
when the intellect understands, the body relaxes. when the body relaxes, presence arises. and that’s where real transformation begins.

a new way to deepen your yoga
the yoga world offers only one path for going deeper — the teacher training. but not everyone who seeks understanding wants to stand at the front of a room.the science of being human was born from that gap — for practitioners who love yoga, but long to make sense of what it truly points to.
here, you’ll learn the inner science of yoga — how its ancient terms translate into human experience. you’ll gain clarity on:
- the meaning behind concepts like prana, ego, and stillness.
- how the koshas, chakras, and breath correspond to body systems.
- the purpose behind asana, beyond alignment or flexibility.
- what it truly means to move from separation toward union.
yoga has always been a path of understanding. the science of being human simply gives you the context to remember why.

the moment all makes sense
there’s a quiet click when everything aligns — when yoga, science, and life stop contradicting each other. when what you’ve practiced, read, or believed finally becomes something you feel.
that’s the moment the science of being human exists for. the moment you stop searching for meaning, and begin experiencing it — directly, in real time, through yourself. this work is not about becoming more. it’s about becoming real — clear, alive, awake in the middle of ordinary life.

guided by experience – grounded in inquiry
the journey is led by Marcus Rother — founder of the science of being human, soma breath® instructor, and long-time yoga practitioner. but above all, a student of what it means to be human.
with a background bridging physiology, neuroscience, and ancient yogic wisdom, …
Marcus weaves science and spirit into a language you can feel. his approach is gentle yet precise, rooted in lived experience, not ideology —and designed to make complex truths simple, embodied, and real.
for Marcus, yoga and breath are not practices to master — they are mirrors through which we remember who we are.
