Episode Synopsis "Yoga for Dancers"

On this weeks episode of The Dance Docs I sit down with Nicole Stalker.  Nicole is a dancer with Miami City Ballet and a yoga instructor.  She and I discussed at how a yoga practice can be beneficial for a dancer, why it can be a great form of cross training, as well as how a yoga instructor may be able to develop or modify a class for dancer.  She brings her wealth of knowledge as a professional dancer, mover and yoga instructor to this vibrant and thought provoking conversation, I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.
