The Importance of Listening to your Body | Anna Merkulova | TEDxDresden

In her daily work as a ballet dancer, Anna Merkulova directly perceives how demanding ballet dancing is for body and mind. After a couple of injuries, she started to face these challenges in a more mindful manner. She found ways to cope with the high demand that comes along with her job. In this talk, Anna shares her story and her way to listen mindfully to what her body is telling her. Born in Ukraine, Anna has traveled the world for her passion to dance ballet. Among others, she danced in the USA, Estland, and Denmark, before she came to Dresden in 2006. After years of hard work, she has been appointed to the first soloist in 2015. Anna completed her training as a ballet dancer at the ballet school of Donezk, Ukraine. From a very young age on, she participated in international competitions, whereby she won the 2nd prize at the International Dancing Competition in 1994 and made it to the finals of the International and Modern Dancing Competition in Nagoya, Japan. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
