Yoga Means Union, Shall We Dance?

Providing tools that promote stillness amidst the constant activities of life through the practices of Yoga, Music, and Partner Dance.

Yoga

One could say that Life and Music is a balance and play of tension and relaxation, similar to the yin and yang principle in everything. Nature provides a continuous dance within and around tension/relaxation and yin/yang. We will explore the infinite ways in which one can play with the spectrum of tension and relaxation in our bodies.

Trumpet Meditation

With sound as central focus, let your mind and body relax into the adventure of the present moment.

Partner Dance

It is a play with the yin/yang principles of an interpersonal exchange; listening/speaking, lead/follow, push/pull, slow/fast. It is intentionally listening within and without by checking in with our body, listening to our partner, the music, and the environment around us.
