Workshop:

Coming Home

This workshop is about how to fully occupy our bodies. What does it mean to be present and live in the now?

In this workshop we will familiarize ourselves with the energy centers in different parts of the body. We will use movement and sound to stop the overstimulation of one energy center--be it an intellectual and/or movement center--and to control the tendency to have one center take over and direct our action without a full awareness of the other centers. We will learn how energy centers can be aligned to work together instead of independently, with one center dominating the others.

Have you ever entered a room and forgot what you entered to do? Or were about to say something and forgot what it was you were going to say? These are just a few examples of interference of energy centers instead of alignment of energy centers.

In this workshop we will use dance and movement based on yoga done to a large variety of music from classical, rhythm and blues, soul, and funk to hip hop as a way of opening, activating and aligning energy centers in the different parts of our body. We will incorporate the voice and its connection to the body. This workshop will utilize meditation to visit and reconnect with our energy centers opening ourselves to our internal river of life within.
