Through an awareness of the connection between body and mind, emotions and actions, our goal is to promote the harmonious development of each of us. In essence, our objective is to consciously integrate physical and psychological individuality to achieve psychophysical well-being through a renewed harmony with Nature and the Universe.<\/p>\n<p>The OLLA asd Association directs its attention and activities to everyone, as anyone can benefit from a rediscovered balance between emotional and physical resources. However, we pay particular attention to individuals who need to restore their relationship with their bodies and emotional balance following intensive treatments or those facing the challenges of a particularly stressful life and to the younger generations.<\/p>\n<p>To achieve our goals, we have chosen to harness the potential of free expressive dance not only as a source of expressive development but also as a resource and a means of connecting with others, rediscovering the pleasure of essential, necessary, and profoundly human movement.<\/p>\n<p>To understand how the OLLA aps Association is structured, you can refer to its constitution, available for viewing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 -ml-1 visible\"><button class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 rounded-md p-1 text-xs hover:text-gray-950 dark:text-gray-400 dark:hover:text-gray-200 disabled:dark:hover:text-gray-400 md:invisible md:group-hover:visible md:group-[.final-completion]:visible\"><\/button><a style=\"text-align: center;\" href=\"https:\/\/oliviaollapalmer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/statuto.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">at this link:<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5558&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1705691469105{margin: 0px !important;padding: 0px !important;border: 0px initial !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/youtu.be\/VJaIEFiB7x8&#8243; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_section][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;My MixCloud&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; align=&#8221;right&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fab fa-mixcloud&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mixcloud.com%2Foliviaopalmer%2F|target:_blank|rel:nofollow&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_btn title=&#8221;My Spotify&#8221; style=&#8221;flat&#8221; size=&#8221;lg&#8221; i_icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fab fa-spotify&#8221; add_icon=&#8221;true&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fopen.spotify.com%2Fuser%2Foliviaollapalmer%3Fsi%3DwB1LXnWQQRiqYXx_oBJNWQ%26nd%3D1|target:_blank|rel:nofollow&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;50px&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;5858&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_circle_2&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text] I began my journey as a passionate dancer, deeply in love with music, nature, and travel.
