Welcome to our 111th Episode!

111 Angel Number, yes! And the guest I have on Dance Teacher Pep Talk today is literally perfect for this episode!

I had the beautiful opportunity to sit down with Shannon Love, somatic yoga instructor and author of, Somatic Exercises Made Simple.

I feel that many of you have maybe heard the terms “somatics,” or “holistic dance,” or “whole dancer,” but what does all of that actually mean?

Shannon shares her vast knowledge of Somatic work as well as how it applies to the dance world, because at the end of the day, we are all wanting to be better teachers and to create a better environment for our dancers, and in my opinion, Somatic work can play a huge part in that. It can also play a huge role in how we show up ourselves!

We discuss . . . 

*Why Somatics?

*5D Wellness and the Whole Dancer Approach

*3 Scenarios with Somatic Exercises that can help to regulate in that given moment.

Shannon’s conversation was incredible, and her book is fascinating. I highly recommend it even for your own personal practice. It changed so much of how I viewed my days.

Please make sure to follow Shannon on her Instagram and grab the e-copy or hardcopy of her book over on Amazon!
