Sun. Oct 20, 2024, 3-5pm
Flying Buddha Fitness, Effingham IL
Join Erin Goldstein & Kaycie Metzelaars of Barefoot Freedom Yoga for a fun meetup of music, embodied movement & reflection!
What to Expect:
3-3:15pm: Gather & open our group dance
Gather to greet each other, review guidelines and expectations, & answer any group questions
3:15-4:20(ish): DANCE!
We’ll have a relaxing space where we gather and keep our things, and a dance floor. We’ll dim the lights for good vibes. While the music plays, you do you – meditate, move energy, and free your spirit through dance and movement!
In general, people dance solo. We ask for no talking or touching on the dance floor if possible. Our intention is to create a space where everyone feels safe to connect with their mind, body, and spirit, and dance out whatever they feel without judgment or interference.
Vocalizing, clapping or stomping or drumming along, or playing with props (scarves, fans, shaker eggs, etc) is welcome.
You may leave the dance floor to rest or hydrate at any point during the dance.
4:20-4:30: Savasana / Meditation
We’ll signal the group to sit or lay down and get comfy for about 10 minutes of rest, stillness & reflection at the end of the dance. We may smudge and/or play gong or chimes depending on the wishes of the group.
4:30-5pm: Circle up, process, talk about our experience
If you want to share about your experience, or you simply want to connect more with the group after dancing together, we’ll have a laid-back conversation together. Continue hydrating, and we hope to offer some tea for anyone who would like to partake.
