| Solveig Santillano attended the Juilliard Conservatory for Dance, and
her performing career included many dance and theatre companies, most notably
MOMIX, with whom she toured internationally and performed for six years.
Solveig is currently a teacher and academic at Mercyhurst College in
Erie, Pennsylvania. She is researching and documenting the experience
of dancers with yoga in their work and lives. She welcomes the thoughts
of any yoginis or yogis who have ideas or stories to share to email her:
heysolveig@yahoo.com.
Susan Braham, a dancer/bodyworker/yoga therapist and teacher, introduced
Solveig to yoga in 1995. The effect was quick and deep. Solveig
is now engaged in manifesting her conscious commitment to share the fruit
of the tree of yoga through teaching and life practice, and her research
is one aspect of that mission. Teaching yoga in her tiny studio is
another.
Solveig is deeply grateful for many teachers, and in particular for
the ongoing mentoring of Judith Hanson Lasater that provides daily inspiration
and understanding physically, intellectually and spiritually. Peentz
Dubble, Francois Raoult, and George Russell have also been delicious and
deep influences on her.
Solveig and her husband Mark Santillano have formed their own dance
company, SoMar Dance Works. Their partnership, along with their
daughter, Ella, sweetens
her journey and keeps her mindfulness and gratitude fresh and concrete
every day.
