YTOC October Event - Dancing the Soul 


Dancing

Dancing the Soul
 Healing through Movement and Stillness:
A Journey through the Chakras
with Margie Krest



When: Sunday, October 4th, 2-4 PM
Location: Whole Yoga Studio, 1735 E. 17th Ave (17th & Williams), Denver, CO
Fee: Free to YTOC Members, otherwise $20 for Non-Members

In this workshop, we will journey through the energy of our Chakras, first through the movement of YogaDance and then through the stillness of Yoga Nidra.

Derived from Kripalu Yoga, YogaDance is a unique approach to movement, combining yoga, breath, and user-friendly dance. Originally called DansKinetics, YogaDance is a form of "spiritual aerobics." While moving through the energy of each chakra, we will celebrate our bodies as we awaken our inner rhythms. Both inter- and intra-personal, YogaDance will help you feel your creativity, move into your power, open your heart and listen to your intuition. The only requirement is that you honor your body and spirit and explore your own beauty and energy.

As our physical movements quiet into savasana, we will again explore the energy of each chakra through Swami Satyananda Saraswati's Yoga Nidra-- guided relaxation. Our journey will bring you to a place of deep relaxation and allow you to visualize the beauty and power of each chakra as you heal, renew and rejuvenate your soul.

Margie Krest will lead this inspiring workshop. Margie is a CYT & RYT, as well as certified in Yoga Nidra and Kripalu YogaDance. To learn more about Margie, visit her website at www.dancingthesoul.com.
