Our speaker was Yevgeny Frolov, co-founder of Wilmette’s HORA Studio. Yevgeny and his wife Svetlana founded the studio in Charlotte in 2006. HORA was originated by an Armenian living in Russia. The practice involves creating movements of the body while remaining calm in motion. Using the Universal Laws of Nature to create the foundation of the practice: gravity, evolution and mobilization.
The practice is intended to create a calmness of spirit, allowing one to feel peace and not feel the need for the use of substances.
Yevgeny is very active in the local community, serving as a board member at the Winnetka Youth Organization and on the Winnetka-Northfield Chamber. They have offered free classes for youth at the Community House. Their TedX talk featuring Wilmette Women is very popular.
