There are two main approaches to our corporeality. One is associated with meaning of our body as facility. Our body provides us possibility of perception, ability of movements and potentiality of perspectives. Another view understands us as corporeal being. The body is manifestation of us in concrete situations. Both meanings of body are connected with lived body and this is our starting-point. The article shows corporeality in our everyday life, how we perceive it and how we experience it.
