This honest, open conversation with author and teacher Steven Washington is an incredible look at addiction, the body, and what it means to "recover" from the pain of life and the loss of self. A retired, celebrated Broadway dancer and performer, Steven now dedicates his life to facilitating body-based healing and restorative practices.

Steven Washington is a Movement Master, Author, and Recovery Advocate who is passionate about helping others navigate towards a happier, healthier life. Steven had a successful career as a contemporary dancer, working at New York City Opera, Metropolitan Opera, and appearing on Broadway in Disney’s, The Lion King but to help him cope with anxiety and self-doubt, he often relied on drugs and alcohol. Twenty years ago, Steven made a conscious decision to get sober and his true life’s work began. Since then, he has impacted countless lives through movement and his keen ability to connect and relate to others. During his study of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Steven fell in love with Qigong, which he describes as, "A moving meditation that supports the health of our body, mind, and spirit.” He is a Certified Qigong Instructor and a Pilates teacher and has taught individuals and groups for over 20 years. Adding to his knowledge of the body and its energy systems, Steven is also a qualified Neuromuscular Massage Therapist.
