Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast!\n\nIn this episode, I sit down with Aaron Cantor, an EMP coach, movement facilitator, and long-time collaborator. Aaron takes us on a captivating journey from his roots in traditional movement practices to his current role as a physical intelligence teacher.\n\nAs our conversation unfolds, Aaron shares his eclectic influences, spanning from contact improvisation to clowning, and how he has integrated these elements into his work with Evolve Move Play. \n\nTogether, we dive into the concept of roughhousing as a foundational practice for nurturing emotional attunement, fostering intellectual growth, and cultivating empathy.\n\nI also take a moment to open up about my own emotional healing journey and the profound impact of somatic practices. We emphasize the vital role of embodied practices in building emotional resilience and explore the idea of reframing roughhousing as a pathway to emotional awareness and grounding in the body.\n\nJoin us as we envision a future where embodied education takes center stage and discover how Evolve Move Play is poised to have a pivotal role in shaping this transformative paradigm shift.\n\nFor more conversations with Aaron and our EMP team, check out this page: https://www.evolvemoveplay.com/tag/aaron-cantor/\n\nEMP | Visit Us Online\n- EMP Website: www.evolvemoveplay.com\n- EMP Substack: evolvemoveplay.substack.com\n- IG: @RafeKelly - www.instagram.com/rafekelley/\n- FB: @RafeKelleyMovement - www.facebook.com/RafeKelleyMovement\n- Twitter: @rafekelley - twitter.com/rafekelley\n- YT Subscribe: www.youtube.com/user/Faelcind?sub_confirmation=1\n- Become a Patron: www.patreon.com/rafekelley\n\nAARON CANTOR\n-IG: @aaroncantor - https://www.instagram.com/aaroncantor/\n\n00:00:00:00 - From Traditional Yoga to Energetic Practices\n00:05:48:18 - Subtlety in Movement and a Critique of Yoga Culture\n00:12:55:17 - Becoming a Physical Intelligence Facilitator\n00:20:18:03 - Connecting with Rafe and Bridging Movement Disciplines\n00:27:46:17 - Aaron's Eclectic Influences: Contact Improv to Clowning\n00:33:41:01 - Integrating Aaron's Work into Evolve Move Play\n00:41:40:03 - Roughhousing for Emotional Attunement and Intellectual Growth\n00:52:28:03 - Rafe's Healing Journey and the Power of Somatic Practices\n00:59:13:17 - Embodied Practices for Emotional Resilience and Empathy\n01:10:58:13 - Reframing Roughhousing for Emotional Awareness and Grounding\n01:22:25:24 - Envisioning Embodied Education and Evolve Move Play's Role
