My first video interview: "Upacking Feldenkraisian Learning" My colleague, Irene Lyon, who runs the very successful Smart Body Smart Mind online course, interviewed me for her podcast back in July. It's a wide ranging conversation, and we're clearly having fun as we go.

Irene saying some very nice things: "Andrew is as expert as you can get with this body of work, and I’m thrilled to share his origin story, his love of Feldenkraisian learning, and his many insights around what it means to not only be a good practitioner, but also what it takes to be a stellar student of this work."

My favorite quote: "Your kinesthetic intelligence is a renewable resource."
