The melody of the workshops
We will start with a sharing circle to set the intention for the workshop and to connect with the space and each other.
The melody of the workshop begins meditative and grounding with breath work and soft opening movements to awaking the spine and waters in the body.
We continue unto a standing sequence where the body opens up even further by moving and activating the joints throughout the whole body. Moving from a more grounded state, the energy rises as we work through the joints from feet to crown. As the energy lifts and the body becomes more open we move into the heat-building dance element. Through the dance we can open up to subconscious part of ourselves as we start liberating blockages in the body and begin feeling more free.
We then gather and ground the energy again with movements from yoga and pilates to stabilize and center ourselves before ending with a soft and healing savasana. We end in circle again and round off the day together.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine the heart holds connection between Earth and Sky in our bodies. The two workshops aims to activate and connect the heart to the lower and upper regions of the body from feet to crown.
We will work through mental, physical and emotional themes by activating and opening up the body. You will be taken on a journey from a grounded state, to a high intensity space and then back to calm and stillness in order to identify, move and release stagnation or blockages within the body, mind and soul.
We will create a space for you to connect to your inner core and for you to express yourself freely, so that you may experience more freedom, joy, play light, flow and inner peace from inside out – a feeling of coming home in the body and having fun while doing it.
