In this conversation, I am speaking with Lauren Elise Peterson, a dance therapist and body image coach who uses beginner friendly dance to help people feel confident in their own skin. She combats the messages that emphasize the need to change the body: to tighten, to diminish, to take up less space, to be more like the virtual avatars we are often bombarded by in our social media. Instead, she invites folks to inhabit the body with a focus on what feels interesting, pleasureful or curious. She offers gentle, easily modified movements that build a vocabulary for movement in the body that helps to build an appetite for movement as play, thereby transforming the possibilities found moving and relating. www.laurenelisepeterson.com. instagram: laurenelisepeterson
