Movement Toward Change

Tai Jimenez: Yoga, meditation, and spirituality within dance and beyond

Rachel Season 1 Episode 16

“Like a musician understands the importance of silence, a dancer must understand the importance of stillness, and yoga can open us up to that aspect of dance.” ⁣

In this episode we speak with Tai Jimenez. We discuss the benefits of yoga for dancers, beginning a meditation practice, reaching a flow state of movement, and finding happiness within limitations. Tai also shares challenges that she has faced during her professional career and the creation of a movement meditation called soft pop. ⁣
