Episode 7 - Anna Smutny on New Choreographic Endeavors, The Power of Movement, and Daily Rituals

In this episode, Megan is joined by Anna, whose movement journey has carried her from ballet and hip-hop to choreography, yoga, and long-distance walking. Now based in Montreal, she weaves together life as a dancer, studio owner, and single mother of three, grounding her creative practice in daily rituals of yoga, meditation, and care.Together they trace how travel, performance, and a powerful solidarity walk across Europe reshaped her understanding of movement as both community and purpose. Their conversation drifts through the meeting place between discipline and tenderness, the conversation between yoga and dance, and the ways the body remembers what words cannot hold.The episode closes with a look into Anna’s current choreographic project — a work rooted in resistance, continuity, and the quiet courage of moving through the world with presence.https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-feed-the-remaining-families-of-gaza-today?fbclid=PAb21jcANm7zlleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp4cF3YBIoEwQguZ3FnSVwk_XUCOoLTkmRLtG5lMRMfHsfiCybxWoaZ3p_dGT_aem_jmZv-JZ6AuWdtlMbXjdhWwhttps://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/action-against-hunger-canada/p2p/p2p/page/feed-the-orphans-of-north-gaz?fbclid=PAb21jcANm72RleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp1PbiZOQRA7z3qEbJfbpSNy3p4uTeciO0Ic4SnqOIUbxIoHuGPwwgqacnCnu_aem_5ZB61UcMUMUgZMAMfspG1w
