Prasain, who organised a press conference in Kathmandu on Wednesday, said that Giri demanded the money in exchange for the council’s affiliation with B&C.  According to him, the two met at Dwarika Hotel in Kathmandu on December 1. “He said that he had to give some money to leaders above him and demanded Rs 200 million,” added Prasain. “I told him that because of anti-money laundering measures, it’s difficult to move that kind of cash around,” he said.

Interestingly, in my personal life my body has played a central role. My way to deal with any mental health problems has been through long walks, dancing, and yoga. An introduction to dance/movement therapy from the American Dance Therapy Association. This is partly why in the past few years, as a professor in psychology at Bishop’s University, I have started incorporating bodywork in my teaching and research, and why I entered a dance/movement therapy training program in Canada this summer. Understanding The Body In Motion Dance/movement therapy goes beyond simply dancing. DMT uses dance and movement...
