My guest for this episode is Zuna Vesan Kozánková, a dancer, choreographer and writer. Zune is a leading authority on traditional Chinese medicine in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. 

Over the last 30 years, she has developed a unique approach to working with the human body, combining anatomical understanding with the energy systems flowing within it. Through her studies of Chinese medicine and Qigong, she seamlessly connects her extensive dance knowledge with the universal principles of Taoism. She is the author of several books, including her latest, The Tao of Movement: Chinese Medicine Principles for Movers.

I invited Zuna to the show to discuss her latest book, which encapsulates her life’s work on the applications of traditional Chinese medicine  in dance and other movement-related professions.

In our conversation, we explored the Taoist perspective on health, the physical, energetic, and conscious bodies, the role of energy in movement, strategies for health prevention, the influence of nutrition and seasonal changes on wellbeing, reconnecting with nature’s cycles, changing mental habits, and more.
