In this conversation, Yuri discusses his recent exploration of voice-over and film acting. He shares his story and process of learning acrobatics, hand balancing, and gymnastics. He also talks about his work as a professional performer, often for Las Vegas corporate events. And, he opens up about how the material he teaches in workshops is often a vehicle for even deeper concepts, and the power of the process as opposed to getting focussed on the outcome.
