What does it mean to play the game of life as a Sacred Athlete—to move with wisdom, purpose, and joy? In this special episode of GET IN, I sit down with Ken Gilbert, the recipient of the 2024 Nia Embodiment Sacred Athlete Award.
Ken is a dancer, movement artist, actor, director, and dedicated Nia teacher, whose life’s work has been devoted to the exploration of the body, expression, and transformation. As a lifelong student and teacher, he has shaped the lives of countless individuals, guiding them to move beyond limitations and into their fullest, most authentic embodiment.
In this conversation, Ken shares:
His philosophy of movement and artistry, blending anatomy, theater, and healing.
How living in a body is a sacred practice—one of joy, resilience, and continual growth.
The power of movement as a path to wisdom, presence, and self-discovery.
How he has adapted and evolved Nia, Pilates, and somatic practices to meet the unique needs of every student.
Join us for a deep, inspiring dialogue with a master teacher who embodies the very essence of the Sacred Athlete—playing the game of life to win through connection, vitality, and creative expression.
