What's Yoga and Hoop Trance Dance?
Dominica & Soolah are coming together to bring you an amazing day of exploration, tapping into the authentic self and generating a sense of Renewal. In this 3 hour experience, we are creating a platform for you to access doorways to that beautiful sovereign self that you already are, exploring through the path of movement & sound, awakening the amazing ways your body can express and regenerate itself, in celebration, by connecting with and becoming in tune with the healthy, fun and creative energies around you. You do not need to know how to do Yoga or Hoop Dance and you do not even need to utilize these within dance itself. These are tools of expression that we are sharing to play in and experiment with during the last hour and a half of the workshop. Renewal is the focus in whatever way this is needed for you.
Hour 1 - Dominica Knapp will present movement through Yoga poses, breath and the freedom of moving the body to get in contact with the sense of self, grounded in the present moment and really honoring, getting in touch with, loving and feeling the body. We will warm up, awakening and growing the energy of the physical body through basic poses that you can work with to bring yourself to the ecstatic state during the dance.
Hour 2 - Soolah Hoops will present the creative force of Hoop Trance Dance Meditation. Energy work, meditation and movement are the basis of this workshop.
Learn basic body hooping to work your core as well as awaken the Authentic Self. If you are an energy worker or healer the hoop can be used as not only a self-healing tool but also a universal healing medium channeling the energy through the hoop as you spin. If you have trouble with a daily meditation practice, using a hoop can assist in creating a positive movement meditation flow.
Hour 3 - Ecstatic Trance Dance free form with yoga, hoop or dance movement! Trance Dance is a guided movement experience where your are free to express yourself through intuitive movement in a safe and supportive environment. Jump! Roll! Dance! Yell! Throw things you are releasing into the Sacred Fire we will be creating to transform the energies and immerse yourself into the Renewal you are seeking to create for yourself!! Trance dance is for everyone! Feel the innate rhythm that resides within you to achieve a state of altered consciousness.
Ending with a 1/2 hour cool down and Healing Session with Hoops at the end.
We are looking forward to sharing this combined experience with you!!
