The Tantric Dance of Feminine Power
flyer yogini
The Tantric Dance of Feminine Power is a deep and sensual moving meditation for Women. This spontaneous yet highly focused practice connects us to the wisdom of the subtle energies of the body through constant presence to sensation, natural breath, heart-opening devotion and reverence for the Divine Feminine. Prior dance experience is not necessary. The work itself is not aerobic but it is "high energy" in terms of internal focus and exploration. We work specifically with the infinite resource of our feminine bodies which includes deep inquiry and feeling into the power source and intelligence of our wombs. This moves us beyond self- expression into the realm of "wisdom". Surrendering to the "wisdom impulses" of the subtle body is like salt dissolving into the ocean, becoming one. This ocean lies within your body, held in the sacred waters of Womb. Moving beyond concepts, the Dance teaches us viscerally what it means to embody the Goddess, to be in our Power and experience the Bliss of the Mother. This Bliss is not dependent upon any external factors, or sense of "other" but inherent in woman's capacity to feel pleasure from her own receptivity and union with the subtle energies which are considered the Goddess Herself. A woman's deepest desires and pleasures are beyond measure when freed from the "patriarchal gaze". It is this freedom that relieves us from making fear-based choices to making choices that vibrate and resonate with our well developed subtle body, born of trust, compassion, reverence and receptivity.

Since each class is 3 hours in length, there is time for personal exploration as well as group work which we call "reclaiming the female shamanic group".

Greetings!

It seems the wheel of the year is turning faster and faster! I hope with the hustle and bustle of holiday activities you are able to find the oasis of deep rest, peaceful contemplation of the changes and shifts of this year, and the opportunity to go fallow at some point and align with the deep stillness of Winter on the Earth Mother's body. I am pleased to announce that due to demand, classes will be happening in December. Please check out all the classes below and be sure to look for the Tara Puja information as these have been wonderful one evening opportunities to be in worship. I can think of no better time to worship Tara than in winter as she is the "star" that illuminates our way and carries us from one place to another.

Also, not to worry Westside dancers, there will be classes on the Westside for December. A venue change is in the works so as soon as all details are set the announcement will be out on dates to Dance.

If you cannot make it in person to a class, please check out my new blog in the links to the left. Read, enjoy, comment-I would love to hear from you!
