About Victor Manuel and Tarzan Movement

With Tarzan Movement, Victor’s philosophy is to bring back this connection we lost with each other, to nature and with ourselves. Victor creates a safe space for attention, for freshness, a safe space to create a community where people can explore how to embody different animals and their movements, explore their own relationship with trees and their ears.
