May in Israel
In May she returned to Israel as the main Guest teacher at the Kennis (annual gathering) of the Irgun Morei Yoga Teachers Association.
She also taught sessions in L.A.Y.(Lunar Artz Yoga), Parivartan (creative change in Yoga practice), and Moving Breath Core Series in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and En Hod. While in Israel she was invited by Yehudith Arnon, founder of the KCDC (Kibbutz Contemporary Dance Company) Gaaton, and Einav Levy, now director of the Workshop (professional school for contemporary dance), to share Moving Breath techniques with the students. This led to a connection with Jutta Czurda, who conceived and is the Artistic Director of the project Mayim Mayim in Fuerth.
Sheela has been absorbed into the Mayim Team, and will gift a 3 minute dance solo danced by her protegeeNadeshwari Joythimayananda. She will also prepare the dancers and musicians for the rehearsals with the Moving Breath techniques.
