Miriam Peretz

Miriam Peretz weaves movement and ritual together to create safe, communal spaces for healing and empowered embodiment. She is a life-long dancer and movement educator who has immersed herself in the study of the healing arts of movement and dance. She has studied sacred dance forms from around the world, focusing on Central Asian dance, and the mystical practices of Sufi whirling. Miriam sees dance as a uniquely powerful means of expressing deep emotion and spiritual yearning, and therefore the perfect embodiment of prayer.

Miriam is the creator of Nava Dance, Nava Movement and Integral Dance, all modalities for holistic dance practice, integrating traditional dance forms, somatic inquiry, embodied intention, and breath awareness.

Miriam offers workshops and retreats worldwide and is the founder of the Nava Dance Collective, an international community of dancers devoted to creating meaningful projects in community through collaborative sisterhood.
