Julie Rothschild on Art, Movement, and Menopause
09/23/24 • 35 min
Join me as I reconnect with the extraordinary Julie Rothschild, a dancer, artist, and movement teacher whose journey through art and motion will leave you inspired. Julie takes us through her profound relationship with dance and how the pandemic led her to the intricate world of tapestry weaving, offering a new dimension to her creative expression and fulfilling her artistic yearnings in ways dance alone could not.
Join us as we unpack the intricate dance between improvisation and structured techniques in movement and teaching. Julie and I share personal stories on how frameworks can guide yet not stifle spontaneity, enhancing the teaching experience. We discuss movement modalities like the Alexander Technique, and Pilates, their impact on our approach to movement, and how they helped us overcome our own physical challenges. Adaptability and continuous learning emerge as central themes in navigating both personal and professional landscapes.
In our final segment, we explore the evolving nature of movement practices, especially as we age. We reflect on the importance of wisdom, shared experiences, and adapting our practices to maintain an active lifestyle.
Correction!!
In error, Julie mentioned an exhibit at the New Local. Please note that the gallery hosting the exhibit is instead the Low Rider. The opening of that exhibit is a private reception not open to the public.
We apologize for any confusion that may have caused.

Resilience, Healing, and Connection through Somatics with Amy Ruth
What if your body could tell you stories of resilience, healing, and a deeper mind-body connection? Join us as we explore the transformative power of somatics and movement integration with the exceptional Amy Kiara-Ruth. With a rich tapestry of expertise in dance, Pilates, kinesiology, and various somatic practices like Tai Chi and Qi Gong, Amy shares how these disciplines come together to foster a more vibrant and connected life. Discover how tuning into the felt sense of your body can enhance responsiveness and resilience, even in moments of discomfort.
Amy and I dive into the intricate relationship between trauma and movement, highlighting how trauma can manifest through guarded postures, clenched muscles, and restricted breath. We discuss the nervous system’s responses and how chronic states affect our bodies. Amy shares how movement helps in metabolizing and processing trauma, promoting healing and neuroplasticity.
Holding space is more than just a concept—it’s an art form. In our conversation, Amy underscores the importance of doing personal work to be fully present for others, drawing inspiration from traditional cultures and elder wisdom. Creativity and playfulness are highlighted as key elements in connection, leading to sessions that leave clients feeling strong, at ease, and authentically expressive.
