The Joy and Healing Power of Dance — with Selene Yilmaz | BlissTalk Podcast

What if joy, healing, and personal growth were just one dance away?

In this uplifting and soul-nourishing episode of BlissTalk, we’re joined by Selene Yilmaz, internationally renowned dance educator and the visionary founder of Joimove — a global movement that helps people reconnect with their bodies, their communities, and their joy through the healing power of dance.

Selene believes that dance is more than movement — it’s a universal language of joy, a gateway to deeper self-expression, and a powerful catalyst for healing. Whether you’re a seasoned dancer or have never taken a step on the dance floor, her message is clear: everyone can dance, and everyone deserves joy.

From leading dance sessions in refugee camps and hospitals to coaching people around the world to use movement as medicine, Selene brings passion, wisdom, and warmth to this heart-opening conversation.

 In this episode, you’ll discover:

• How to invite more joy, health, and self-expression into your daily life through dance
• Why movement is a natural tool for healing trauma and releasing emotion
• Selene’s journey creating Joimove and its global impact
• Simple ways to reconnect with your body, regardless of age or ability
• How to use dance as a form of meditation, empowerment, and personal growth
• Why joy is a radical and essential act of wellbeing — not a luxury

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your body, stuck in stress, or longing for more lightness and vitality in your life, this episode will inspire you to move — not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.

“Dance is joy in motion. When we move with intention, we come home to ourselves.” – Selene Yilmaz
