About Yona Lavie

Yona Lavie is a multidisciplinary artist, dancer, choreographer, and movement educator from Queens, NY. 

As a summa cum laude graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Dance, a certified yoga instructor, and a professional assisted stretch practitioner, Yona inhabits the spaces where multiple creative disciplines dwell: Performing and visual arts, movement education, fitness and health.

She takes an integrated, holistic approach to her work, which is grounded in two passionate beliefs:

First that the arts are integral to our individual and collective wellbeing and should not be treated as an afterthought.

Second, that growing frail and losing independence are not inevitable in older age if people proactively build movement capacity and literacy in the correct manner.
