Natalya Janay Shoaf is a visionary who believes that movement is a stepping stone for self-discovery. She creates movement sequences that forages a path of remembrance to access embodied truths. Natalya is a storyteller who prioritizes wisdom sharing & integrous inquiry to make meaningful work that promotes introspection. Her work is perfect for the budding artist who desires to flourish.
