-= WHAT IS DANCE OF THE DEITIES? =-
"Dance of the Deities" is a combination of Andrew's 5 great loves:
Storytelling, Philosophy, Mythology, Yoga and Dance.
Through these themes we experience a beautiful, powerful, and divinely inspired movement practice that allows us to truly embody the qualities of each deity and bring them to life.

Section 1: Mythology and Symbology of Lakshmi
Introduction: Philosophy talk, storytelling and sharing the Mythology of the Deity
Section 2: Warm up Practice, Yoga with Mudra, Mantra and Pranayama
Section 3: Dance of The Deity: 2 parts

-= ABOUT ANDREW MOURNEHIS =-
Andrew is an Australian born Yogi and Dancer who was living his dream as a dancer and choreographer for Tina Turner’s "Wildest Dreams World Tour”, when a year later, his career was cut short by a life-changing injury and serious illness in 1996. It was Tina Turner who initiated him into the world of Spirituality, Buddhism and the Divine. His crisis forced him to seek a healing path, and he turned to yoga to heal his body and soul, falling in love with the practice and teaching to packed classes by 1999.
Passionate about the healing power of group, mythology and stories, he combined his love for yoga with transpersonal healing to create transformative spaces for participants. Andrew teaches a combination of Hatha, Bhakti and Tantra Yoga, and his unique teaching style is rich in Heart and Soul, Tantric Philosophy, Inspiration, Storytelling, Mantra and the Spirit of the Divine.
Dance of The Deities was conceived in Bali in 2017, as has now toured the world for 6 years to over 8 Countries and 3 Continents, featuring for 2 years at IMPULSTANZ (The Vienna International Dance Festival)
Andrew has spent over 25 years facilitating healing groups, workshops, and retreats in Yoga, Movement, Tantra, Mythology, and Transpersonal Modalities.
