THE EXPERIENCE

Join us for a night of Iranian dancing and culture! Sahar will be offering a short dance lesson – Iran is culturally diverse and rich and Sahar will be sharing dance moves from just a handful of traditions – and has curated Iranian music videos from various time periods to enjoy and dance to. Chess Club will be vending a curated selection of magazines and print material. 


ON STAGE: Sahar Y 

I was born in Tehran, Iran and primarily raised in Vienna, Austria. My practice and offerings are informed by my diasporic upbringing and rooted in values of collective care, solidarity, abolition and true justice. I teach yoga, Pilates, strength training and aerial yoga full-time and love sharing movement practices with others. I do not believe movement or the right yoga class or Pilates session will solve all your problems or make the world a more just place, but I do believe that showing up for ourselves and our bodies, taking the time to take deep, intentional breaths and moving our bodies will create discipline and ease within ourselves, allowing us to show up as our whole selves to better take on the injustices of the world. From a young age, I loved dancing to Iranian (and other SWANA) music and am excited to share music and dance from my home and birth country.
