It also paved the way for deeper levels of personal expression and emotional sophistication... The deeper our connection to movement is, the more we are able to understand the emotions and expressions of those around us, and the more we can express ourselves to the world. The more attuned and emotionally sophisticated we are, the stronger our connection to each other will be, which will increase our likelihood of living a life full of meaning and purpose... ➡️ See full notes on the companion blog: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/telling-stories-emp-podcast-47-simon-thakur/ --------------- ✅ Join our Natural Parkour Online Membership!
