Betsy Polatin - Interviewed by Mark Walsh

A charming interview with Betsy Polatin, dancer, senior Alexander Technique teacher, student of Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing Training and author of The Actor’s Secret: Techniques for Transforming Habitual Patterns and Improving Performance. Betsy shares her 4 decade interest and research into body movement and its impact on our emotional state, as well as her curiosity about how to move effectively and efficiently. A great overview that talks to movement patterns, trauma, anatomy, the nervous system and breath work. Includes several, accessible and replicable body explorations.
