BREATHE - STRETCH - SHAKE - LET IT GO




BASIC VINYASA YOGA FOLLOWED BY ECSTATIC DANCE EXPERIENCE


Release stress and trauma. This is the class to come by, shake out some prejudices and leave into the weekend feeling fresh & fly!


In this community class we'll practice traditional Vinyasa Yoga followed by Ecstatic Dance Experience. We'll focus on getting out of our mind, and into our bodies by practicing breath work, meditation (yes, you can do it, too!) and classical Vinyasa Yoga asanas.


Ecstatic dance is defined as free movement, without specific steps, abandoning oneself to the rhythm, leading to a feeling of ecstasy, like that of a trance. It is considered a form of meditation and can be useful for stress relief. This is found among many religious practices around the world. Ecstatic dance and rhythmic drumming are used to alter consciousness in many spiritual practices.


The trance-like state can allow healing and transformation, freeing the wild spirit inside. In places where it is practiced, rules provide a framework that allow for participants to feel safe. Basic rules apply in this experience, including

  • no talking or
  • taking pictures
  • and dancing barefoot is preferred.
  • Judgement should be left at the door.
