BHARATANATYAM

Indian classical dance is a highly codified dance form rich with layers of symbolism, metaphor and poetic suggestion. Bharata Natyam dance harnesses its great devotional and spiritual potential.

Pneuma Dance is characterized by an emphatic emphasis on diverse techniques and aesthetics of oriental and Asian dance. The method developed by Shamti Ruiz combines the awareness of contemporary movement with sequences designed to enrich technique and connect the dancer with diverse languages from different sacred traditions.

YOGA

Immerse yourself in the ancient practice of Hatha Yoga under the respected lineage of Swami Sivananda. Our classes are designed for both beginners and advanced practitioners, seeking to foster a balance between body, mind and spirit through authentic and proven techniques.

Our Origin

"PNEUMA" means "Spirit" in Greek. By fusing it with the word "DANCE" , which channels higher emotions through body movement, a unique alchemy is generated expressing what it is: DANCE FROM THE SPIRIT.

Pneuma Dance was founded in 2004 by Shamti Ruiz, who developed the school in the academic and artistic field. Starting in 2016, the school began to expand its educational and artistic programs internationally.

Its creator, Shamti Ruiz , has conceived a revolutionary vision that arises from her training at the Pneuma Institute, specialized in Transpersonal Psychology, founded by Juan Ruiz Naupari, Shamti Ruiz's father. At Pneuma Institute she offers a comprehensive and multidisciplinary education for the development of transpersonal consciousness, where art plays a fundamental role. In addition to her deep commitment to the professional exploration of Dance, Shamti Ruiz has also integrated research into her own intimate and transpersonal growth to offer this innovative new method.
