In this special live episode of The Wise Effort Podcast, Dr. Diana Hill explores how to bring more movement into our lives and express our movement genius. Teaming up with Jane Chapman of Communal Table, they host an intimate gathering in Santa Barbara. Dr. Hill talks with Maya, a former dancer and academic who has lost touch with her movement genius.
