🔥 In this transformative episode of Empower HER Radio, Dr. Corey Winn sits down with the extraordinary Alexandra Beller—internationally renowned choreographer, educator, director, and embodiment pioneer. Dive deep into Alexandra’s powerful story of overcoming body stereotypes in dance, breaking barriers in the arts, and helping others reconnect with their bodies, stories, and truths.
🩰 From professional dancer to visionary educator, Alexandra shares how she challenged outdated norms in the dance world, embraced her unique path, and developed groundbreaking work in somatic practices and Laban/Bartenieff Movement Analysis—techniques that revolutionize how we understand movement, trauma healing, and authenticity.
💥 What You’ll Learn in This Episode: ✅ How Alexandra turned being “told she wouldn’t make it” into a global career in dance and choreography. ✅ The critical importance of Laban Movement Analysis and how body dynamics reveal truth, emotion, and unlock personal potential. ✅ How our educational systems unknowingly shut down natural movement and what we can do as adults to heal from that. ✅ Why play, embodied authenticity, and re-learning trust in your own body are key to living a powerful, connected life. ✅ The intersection of somatic movement, trauma repatterning, neuroplasticity, and dance—and how these support cognitive health and emotional resilience. ✅ Why every single person—no matter their age, ability, or background—is already a dancer and how to reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom.
🌿 Alexandra also unpacks how our evolutionary biology lags behind modern life—and how our sedentary habits contribute to chronic pain, dysfunction, and disconnection from ourselves. You’ll learn practical steps to reawaken your body’s natural patterns, improve posture, and reignite joy.
💡 Whether you’re a dancer, actor, healer, physical therapist, or simply someone ready to feel more alive—this conversation will inspire you to embrace your body, expand your self-awareness, and move through the world with greater empathy and authenticity.
