Dancer/Choreographer Jack Kirven of Integre8t Wellness joins us to discuss his unique perspective on the body and how it moves. Now as a Wellness Coach and Certified Personal Trainer, Jack uses his many years of finely honed body awareness and his 8 pattern system to align, create power, and cultivate lifestyle changes in his clients.
In this episode, we discuss how a dancer must abuse their body into the beauty observed on the stage and how dancing is a process of deformation of the muscular system. Through the eyes of a dancer, we discuss self-care, self-acceptance, eating disorders, and how the body not only changes through the athletic process but also the culture that forms it.
