Shondi Pugh Bio:
I trained in dance growing up. While recovering from breast cancer treatment in 2012, I re-entered the dance space after a very long hiatus. Movement became a powerful tool to explore my body and discover a deeper sense of self, as I struggled to recognize myself, and my body post-cancer.
Dance and movement as medicine continues to be one of the most powerful and effective tools in my healing toolbox. I continue to cultivate a deeper and more loving sense of embodiment through this practice. It is my absolute honor to guide others on their movement/healing journeys.
