This is more than a dance class, it is a journey into the Medicine of Movement.

Experience profound inner transformation and discover the joy of movement! Whether you're an advanced professional dancer or a beginner, this workshop is for You. There are no steps, no choreography, and no mistakes. This experience will surprise you by revealing more dance mastery than you believe you have.

Dance is a powerful tool that can lead to deep emotional healing when combined with ritual. Every emotion has an energetic signature in the body, which can be accessed through movement. This guided practice combines dance, meditation, and ceremony to help you gain new abilities as a dancer and allow for emotional expression.

Naia Riley has trained extensively in the fields of movement as medicine, nutrition, mental health, and ceremony facilitation.  With experience teaching and performing around the world, these workshops help you to discover more of your authentic self and feel at greater ease in your body. She utilizes Tantric principles of breath, sound, and movement to facilitate sacred awakening.

Naia Riley is certified through Master Movement Director, Anandha Ray, to offer Shamanic Fusion Dance classes. Anandha developed this modality over three decades of performance, choreography, and directing. These techniques fuse modern dance practices with theories of dance/movement therapy to create a healing and expressive art form. Shamanic Fusion Dance is influenced by indigenous cultural rituals and a lifetime of research into the therapeutic and transformational aspects of dance and performance.
