"I really loved your performance at Jebon. I was shocked in a positive way. The impression you made on me that day is still vivid in my memory and sensory devices. When you dance you push the human, the space, the stage, and the mind boundaries. AND you are channeling something way over the physical body, over the judging mind."
Anasma––dancer, teacher, choreographer, member of Bellyqueen

"I have experienced many types of inner development, but nothing so reliably returns me to my center as Dunya's work. She has a rare capacity to create a space in which the inner self can find its own level and unfold through whatever channel of awareness––physical, emotional or spiritual––spontaneously beckons to us. Much of the subtle power of her process is in its effortless joining of the polarities of our experience: still and vibrant, playful and intense, immediate and transcendent. In their essence, Dunya's workshops go beyond both dance and our common notions of meditation to create a new form, melding the natural delight of the body with the natural freedom of the spirit. "
Tom Anderson, Ph.D., psychologist Austin, TX

"I used to think you led. Then I thought you facilitated. Now I know that what you truly do is reveal essence."
Dr. Scott Elkin, physician, psychiatrist, personal trainer

"Dear Dunya, Your workshop brought a new inner dimension to my life. It was not only the good healthy feeling from your exercises, breathing and dancing, not only the relaxation and the stress reduction, but the awareness of interior harmony. I enjoyed discovering the body movement coming from inside. The efficiency of your techniques, I believe, came mainly from the harmony between music, breathing, energy, meditation, and the moving. Thank you, and may many people benefit from your heavenly techniques. With deep gratitude,"
Mr. Sorin Costiner Dept. of Mathematics, Univ. of Pittsburgh

"Thank you once again for the opportunity to reconnect with you and all the lovely dancers. I love your work and how you create a safe space for us to explore and find our most beautiful selves. It takes me a while to get through the layers of crap to feel my beauty. I love this work because the fast way through all this stuff is non verbal. I have found my language and you and those who join you speak it too. It is nice to feel understood. I appreciate all your gifts to all of us."
Wendy Bixby, Director, Hospice Austin

"I wish I had found your work ten years ago. It would have saved me six treatments in drug rehab centers. Thank you!"

"These workshops have given me the ultimate gift of freedom––freedom to express myself in dance, freedom to feel the energy of the music, freedom to allow my body and my mind to connect without conscious control or inhibition––without Dunya ever having said a word."
Adelia Ritchie, Ph.D. chemistry professor, Georgia Tech

"Thank you, Dunya, for thirteen years of inspired healing and teaching. Working and teaching Thai Yoga Massage in New York City requires a great deal of focused energy. My success in the work I do is a reflection of your silent meditation exercises. Your techniques allow me to return to that inner place of stillness and yet feel revitalized, energetic and creative. At home I practice your dance meditation videos and I continue to maintain the benefits of this unique work. I look forward to seeing you again. "
Geri Ryan, Certified Massage Therapist New York, NY

"I just wanted to let you know what a wonderful time I had at your workshop in San Francisco this past weekend.. I was entranced by the non-verbal nature of your workshop––it really allowed me to focus more deeply on my movement...all the subtle shifts and whispers in my body that I wouldn't have noticed if my head was full of language. I came back to Southern CA feeling completely rejuvenated and refreshed It came at a time when I really needed it. Your work is so inspiring, so beautiful. I feel lucky to have experienced it."
Gayle Brandeis, author of Self Storage

"Dunya gave a workshop for us at L.A.C.C. It was such a successful occasion, for she shared with us, how it was she came to do this kind of relaxing movement after being a professional dancer. Her work is inspirational, innovating, and truly allows for the person to begin to discover a gentle and loving way to move and experience the beauty and joy of motion. It also allows us to connect with our own inner rhythms and vibrations in a manner that gives us permission to accept and honor ourselves. Through Dunya's workshops, the joy of moving, the beauty of the dance, and a wonderful acceptance of ourselves as moving, living entities is experienced. I heartily recommend this workshop for anyone who wants to discover the joy of living and moving through dance. It is a healing experience that allows us to turn inward to the love and ecstasy experienced when we allow ourselves to just be. It opens an opportunity for us to have a dialogue with our bodies in a way that guides us to understand we have an intelligence in our body that is a profound knowing and desperately in these times needs to be heard and accepted. Dunya is a innovator in movement, as Candace Pert is in biochemistry. She represents the new paradigm of our times. To experience her movement, and be led through movement in her workshops with her expertise, is an unforgettable experience, that allows one to begin to explore the exciting reality of who we re ital living changing organism in motion. To experience such loving movement, is to experience the joy of life itself. Dunya is a unique master of movement, and the dance. Don't miss the experience of her presence. It can be transforming."
Laurienne Singer, M.A., Movement Specialist, Dance Therapist, LACC faculty Los Angeles, CA

"I am a physical being. I was never meant to be staring at a computer 10 hours a day, stuck to a chair and a telephone on one ear. This has been draining the life out of me. The weekend in Dancemeditation re-introduced me to myself. Thank you for helping rediscover my lost self. "
Donna Felder, dental office manager Pittsburgh, PA

"In Dancemeditation classes I remember how to be myself. My essence unfolds, and my soul stretches like a newly-born baby as I approach my inner point of perfect stillness. All through motion and breathing. Beyond verbalizing. Beyond rationalizing. Beyond Understanding. I heal...."
Dr. Monica Grace, psychotherapist Austin, TX

"During a vision facilitated by Dunya's process I found my joy. I danced into my joy, slowly, becoming one with her. This joyous state had eluded me all my life but now I have lived in it ever since. My joy comes with me and my body everywhere we go. It's just as wonderful as my wildest hopes."
