About this Event
Embracing the Yoga of Sound and the essence of Hatha without doing typical asana poses that we have grown to believe in as an essential element of yoga.
Hatha (Ha-Tha, described as a “sun-Moon”)…. Nothing about poses.
Hatha is described as “sun-moon” to emphasize negative-positive, male-female, these two opposite forces in nature that we meditate upon to harness constructive forceful means to bring about change to our mental and emotional state.
This nourishing and playful practice encourages delicious trance, sensual body movement, and vocal Shakti invocation.
In this practice, we constructively and playfully rebel against convention. We approach yoga in an unconventional way with trance dance and using the power of our voice.
Relish the experience of playfully cutting straight through the noise and chaos of various unpredictable mental states and life and take a break from the stubborn sticky impulses of ego in a trance-supported ecstatic dance practice.
Through this technique we experience the blissful absorption of yoga’s final stages: dhyana, yoga's 7th limb, and then finally, potentially the final 8th stage-Samadhi.
This is a specific progression of movement modes that promote delightfully deep meditation.
There are no complex or challenging poses or dance moves to work out. You do not need to think, figure things out, or worry how you look.
You are in a totally supportive space that has been infused with unconditional love. We will engage in a tonal voice technique that will help us to tune the divine instruments that we are and harmonize ourselves with the unified field of consciousness as we slide into a deep and peaceful meditative and free state.
