Have you ever felt a tingling, expansive energy in your body?
That is what I call a state of soulful embodiment, when the cells have activated into a fluid state, and the container of our skin is malleable. It is a feeling I describe as being connected to source energy, while being deeply rooted in my body.
This class is a journey crafted to reach that activated state. We will use visualization, improvisational movement, vocalization, imagination and play - to feel open, elevated, creative and hyper present.
And it is not about letting go of thoughts, rather, we create a connection between body and mind to engage the mind in an inner awareness, follow curiosity and act on creative impulses.
This work is from my personal practice, and it is an integration of things I have learned in the past 30 years: from Modern Dance and Contact Improvisation, to Laban Movement A ...

This class will benefit mind, body and spirit leaving you more grounded, centered, energized and in touch with the divine within, while gaining self esteem, confidence and empowerment.

Journey into the realms of primal shaking and shamanic trance.
Shaking is a primal instinct observed in wild animals after a life-threatening event. They shake to release tension and trauma, and return to balance.
Yet, we have been socially conditioned to be calm, cool, and collected. Which sadly means we’re suppressing a LOT of our wild impulses.
The voyage begins with intentional somatic exercises, gently anchoring you into the sanctuary of your internal self. Nurturing and regulating your nervous system, and paving the way for a full-body shake experience.
And then we shake.
Shake to re-wild and un-tame our natural impulses.
Shake to cast off suppressed experiences that live in the body.
Shake to unlock boundless reservoirs of trapped energy within.
Your hips and core, revered as the sanctuaries of untapped potential, will be a main focus, so YES ... Flow Space Yoga and Arts, 117 NW 16 Avenue, Gainesville. Aurora Healing Arts - [more][facebook][events]

Explore your connection to the energies of the universe and awaken your chakras through ancient dance techniques.
In this class we will explore our connection to the energies of the universe through ancient dance techniques. We will focus our intention on channeling these energies through our movement, activating our chakras with isolations that awaken our Kundalini. Through this practice we will tap into our creative power and embody the divine within.
This class will benefit mind, body and spirit leaving you more grounded, centered, energized and in touch with the divine within, while gaining self esteem, confidence and empowerment.

Wake up your body and feel energized for your day through dance-based facilitated improv.

Come stretch out, roll around, and power pose until you are feeling inspired for your day ahead.
This offering is for all who are interested. No dance experience is necessary, only an open mind and a willingness to share respectful space with others.
And, this may be a great choice for ecstatic dancers curious about choreographical and dance/movement therapy terminologies.

Have you ever felt a tingling, expansive energy in your body?
That is what I call a state of soulful embodiment, when the cells have activated into a fluid state, and the container of our skin is malleable. It is a feeling I describe as being connected to source energy, while being deeply rooted in my body.
This class is a journey crafted to reach that activated state. We will use visualization, improvisational movement, vocalization, imagination and play - to feel open, elevated, creative and hyper present.
And it is not about letting go of thoughts, rather, we create a connection between body and mind to engage the mind in an inner awareness, follow curiosity and act on creative impulses.
