Luna Devika is a self-taught performance artist in Nashville, TN. She has thrived in the world of performing arts since she was a child. She started training in a variety of genres of dance at age seven, and went on to dance competitively just a few years later. Luna danced for a few different companies for ten years. She was also a part of the theatre program at her high school and won the Best Actress award in 2009. She later took this knowledge to pursue musical theatre at the University of Montevallo (UM) in Alabama. She enjoyed performing in a variety of plays as a lead dancer. She later reverted her focus to the kinesiology program, and soon fell madly in love with hula hoop dance about four years ago. After a few years of growing as a hula hoop flow artist, she earned her Hoopnotica hula hoop instructor certification. Luna learned so much from her training and led her own hoop fitness class at her university (UM). She has also worked private venues, workshops, and conducted private lessons. This discovery of flow opened many windows of creative, connected, confident, and communicative energy. When the art of fire manipulation was discovered, she truly found her lover and sacred medicine. She has now learned how to express her spirit through fire hoop, helio, contact staff, poi, fans, and fire eating and breathing. Communicating through this powerful element awakened her spirit to the beauty of fearless existence. Through this freeing path, she turned inward towards the body that boldly creates. Yoga quickly became one of her favorite gurus and conscious connector to mind, body, and spirit. She became passionate about accessing the divine through deeply sinking and breathing into intense postures. She has discovered her own yogic means to mold her body to bend to break through and release all energetic blockages. Staying true to her circus heart, she has learned to manipulate her yoga practice into contortionism. Luna works passionately to most fully utilize her sacred temple to create unique body art to nourish the spirit. She bends so she will never break. Since Luna has the ability to hold poses for long periods of time, she has also contributed to the artistic community by working as a live model for figure study classes, photography, and sculpture. Luna Devika is passionate about spreading art, inspiration, healing, and mind/body/spirit connection.
