Feldenkrais teacher Paul Pui Wo Lee joins Mark Walsh to talk ballet, the dance profession, the "magic" of dance, meaning, how we discovered Feldenkrais, feedback loops, self care, dignity, choice in the nervous system, aware sex, the matrix.

Paul is a certified Feldenkrais practitioner and Jeremy Krauss Approach (JKA) practitioner and therapist, who currently serves as the rehearsal director and choreographic assistant at Of Curious Nature, a contemporary dance company.

He graduated from Canada’s National Ballet School before training at the Rotterdam Dance Academy and has danced with IT Dansa and GöteborgsOperans Baletten before working as a freelancer in Sweden.

An inspiring thoughtful yet fun episode. Enjoy!
