Movement is life. If we go to all life forms, there's movement even breathing in the cells of our bodies -- or in multi-celled creatures -- there’s always movement and vibration and the movement of fluid. It’s through movement that we meet the world and the world meets us, and we have a chance to interact and grow. -- Mariko Tanabe

This conversation has been a long time in coming with Mariko Tanabe, Body Mind Centering Faculty and Program Director of Esprit en Mouvement in Montreal. James and I recorded this interview many months ago and because of the world being on its ear, we've simply been delayed in giving it to you. You're really going to enjoy this conversation about the "spark of human movement" and the journey to connect to it with Mariko. James and I had the pleasure of working with Mariko last March (2019) at a BMC workshop.

Listen. Move. Breathe in. Breathe out. You. Are. Alive.
