    THE RHYTHMIC BODY with Natalie Orr

    What does it mean to be human? How do our internal rhythms shape our perception of the external world? Why do we dance and make music? Where is reality really experienced? Combining evolutionary thinking with anthropology and anecdote we explore what it means to be a human in the modern world. We question what is really means to be a healthy human on a healthy planet and how we can shift from surviving to thriving.I’m Natalie, a Success Coach and Dance Expert with a Masters in Dance Anthropology and a curiosity for how we can empower ourselves to create a better internal and external world. This podcast explores topics such as perfectionism, holistic health, dance, music, community, culture and empowerment.

    EVERY SCHOOL SHOULD TEACH THIS! Health and happiness today with ‘Mr Embodiment’ Mark Walsh S4 E6

    EVERY SCHOOL SHOULD TEACH THIS! Health and happiness today with ‘Mr Embodiment’ Mark Walsh S4 E6

    “Mr Embodiment” (Mark Walsh) is the author of Embodiment, Working with the Body in Training and Coaching, and Embodied Meditation. He hosts The Embodiment Podcast (1 million+ downloads), and led The Embodiment Conference (1000 teachers, 500,000 delegates). Seeing a theme yet?

    He founded the Embodied Facilitator Course,  and has trained over 2000 embodiment coaches in over 40 other countries (some of which will even let him back in).

    He gained an honours in psychology (despite been an alcoholic at the time), and has taught widely in the corporate world where he pretended to be a grown up for years, including with blue-chip companies (e.g. Google, Unilever, Shell, Axa, L’Oreal) whom he charged wayyyy too much as they made him wear a suit.

    He has also upset… sorry, taught… many yogis, NGOs, police officers and several militaries.

    He has worked in war zones, and entertained over 50,000 children. He has headlined International Coach Federation events, taught at Moscow State University, lived with the circus in Ethiopia, taught celebrities and kissed a princess.

    Mark is an aikido black belt, and also has 25 years of experience of other martial arts, with yoga, bodywork, improv comedy, conscious dance and meditation.

    Embodiment is his obsession, life’s work, and frankly at this point he couldn’t get a job doing anything else. He dances like your dad at a wedding, overshares about his gorgeous Ukrainian wife, and offends pirates with his swearing.

    He is now tired of writing in the third person.

    WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT DANCE CLASS, PERFECTION AND HAPPINESS! with Julie Gill S3 E10

    WHAT THEY DON’T TELL YOU ABOUT DANCE CLASS, PERFECTION AND HAPPINESS! with Julie Gill S3 E10

    Podcast sponsor: Natalie Orr Coaching https://www.natalieorr.com

    About Julie:
    In 2017, I opened Broche Ballet to create a place for adult dancers like myself to find a place to achieve their ballet dreams.

    Even though I started ballet at the age of 17, I wanted to be taken seriously. I wanted to be pushed, and I wanted to be able to dance at a really high level. I wanted to train somewhere that would help me get where I wanted to go. But, that’s not always easy to find. I pieced my training together for over a decade and ultimately created Broche Ballet to be the studio I always wanted but never had.

    Broche Ballet grew to 3 studio locations in Denver by 2020, but COVID closed our Denver operations. Now we offer daily live & recorded Zoom classes to help dancers worldwide learn how to effectively practice at home between classes, stay inspired to keep going, and join a global community of passionate adult ballet dancers.

    And now in 2022, the mission to help dancers with big dreams reach their full potential is stronger than ever, with the introduction of the first annual International Adult Ballet Festival. The first IABF brought amazing adult dancers together from across the globe to Miami to immerse themselves in ballet for a week: dancing, dining, and performing all week long.

    Ballet is for everyone, even if you didn't start as a young child. Adult ballet dancers with big dreams belong in the studio and on the stage. Let's dance!
