Garuda for Dancers:
Raena Waddell is an Edmonton dancer, choreographer and instructor. A serious back injury in 2012 led her to research the Garuda system. Taking off where Pilates ends, Garuda excites both the artist and movement practitioner in Raena, after she found Garuda rehabilitated her. Now, certified in Garuda Foundational Mat, Barre and Apparatus, she connects much of her recent artistic creativity to the fluid, full-bodied movement in the Garuda system.

In New York she performed with Graham-basedSaba Dance Theatre, LiNK Contemporary Jazz Dance Company and in Philadelphia with the Rebecca Davis Dance Company.
