ON THIS EPISODE:

Today I have the honor of interviewing the creator and director of JourneyDance®: Toni Bergins!


Do you need more dance and music in your life? Do you want to hear all about our "issues in the tissues" and how "motion is lotion?"

It's TRUE!

I'm SO excited to talk to Toni because I've taken her JourneyDance® classes at Kripalu Yoga Center on many occasions. They are truly a journey of growth and release every single time.

Her work is magical and I know this interview will help and inspire YOU!


Toni Bergins is on a mission to get people into their bodies, to feel, heal, expand their bandwidth, end perfectionism, stop the “not good enough” crisis, and inspire people to express their authentic uniqueness in a world that needs all our healing now. Toni, MEd, founder and director of JourneyDance®, is an artistic alchemist and passionate catalyst for people to transform their angst into art and their vulnerability into strength. Over the past 25 years, she has helped thousands of people find a new sense of self-esteem, inner wisdom, emotional health, spiritual practice, and total well-being.
