Exploring the Value of Play and Embodiment

The podcast episode delves into the importance of play and embodiment in movement practices. The guest, Aaron Kantor, shares his belief that being playful and fully present in our bodies allows for deep connections and skill development. He discusses his approach of using games and interactive activities to create space for techniques to naturally emerge. Kantor emphasizes the idea of play as a way to nourish ourselves and be fully engaged in the present moment, rather than focusing on productivity or self-improvement. He also emphasizes the value of listening, deep perception, and creating a sense of intimacy and connection between participants in workshops. Kantor reflects on the challenge of balancing the business side of teaching with the authentic experience of play and embodiment, and expresses his desire to find ways to share his teachings in an interesting and authentic manner.
