Body and Soul with Gabrielle Roth

MP3 Download

Movement is one of the most ancient and profound ways to connect with the inner core of our being. Trance dance teacher Gabrielle Roth says, "The fastest way to still the mind is to move the body." Roth has helped thousands find the joy of bringing spirit back into the body, and the energy, power and sense of aliveness that movement can bring forth. "When you're dancing, you're unfolding, and things are being released. It's worth hours and hours of therapy." She has developed a map of rhythms that dives into the creative process, and offers ways to break out of inertia. "It's never too late," Roth says, "to wake up to the miracle of movement."
