Description
Kundalini Dance is a sacred dance journey that integrates teachings from worldwide shamanic traditions, which honour dance as medicine for the body, mind, and spirit. Through spontaneous expressive movement, breath work, toning, singing and energy healing, Kundalini dance inspires people to embrace their essence self and remember the state of Oneness and wholeness, that is everyone’s natural state of Being. Each dance ceremony guides people to intentionally reconnect to the Earth and to Spirit/Source, opening their hearts, giving each dancer the opportunity to let go of what does not serve them and call in their highest vision for their lives. It is more than a dance practice; it is a reconnection to the very essence of who you are. The beauty of this dance, is that all the healing, remembering, and coming into wholeness on the dance floor is done in the company of a courageous "tribe" of dancers who choose to circle and heal together, side by side, in community. When we choose to surrender and heal together, magic happens!We will dance through a rainbow of colours, energies and expressions: **** PLEASE NOTE THESE TIMES! **** Not all classes are 1-4 p.m. ***
* Feb. 27- Intro Class 4-6 p.m. **** March 5- Root Chakra (Red) 1-3:30 p.m. **** March 12- Sacral Chakra (Orange) 12-3 p.m. **** March 19- Solar Plexus (Yellow) 1-4 p.m.* March 26- Heart (Green) 1-4 p.m.* April 2 -Throat Chakra (Blue) 1-4 p.m.* April 9- Third Eye (Indigo) 1-4 p.m.* April 16- Crown Chakra (Violet/Purple) 1-4 p.m.Each class follows the following "map:" Doors open and you are invited to silently settle into the sacred space created for you. You can meditate, stretch, breathe and come into the moment. Together we share our experiences and intentions. I will share a few guiding insights into the chakra we are dancing or a new awareness on an aspect of the dance that we will be exploring together.We will explore our dance ceremony, navigating the energies, elements and wisdom of one chakra per class (except for our intro class where we will experience a taste of each one!) We will begin in an opening ceremony by grounding deep into the Earth's energy, calling our heart and the chakras to open and awaken, and connecting with Divine Source energy as our opening "prayer." We will then move our bodies to warm up in a playful and imaginative exploration of bodies and the space before activating our energy through rhythmic breathwork we do together. We will put our awareness on the energy and element of the chakra of the class, and explore through spontaneous movement and embodiment. We will then offer up any stagnant energies that may be impeding the flow of our greatest potential in that chakra ~ whether it is emotions that need to be expressed and released, or physical body pain as a result of energy blocks. When we allow our energy to flow again, we raise this ecstatic energy to our hearts and dance to unify our chakra we are exploring to our heart. As we continue to dance, we raise our vibration upwards as a prayer to our Divine Source, calling in what we do want to create on that level of our lives. This is your dance that embodies your prayers, your deepest longings and surrender. Together we "let go & let God" dance us. We invite all the blessings of our Divine into our energetic body~mind~spirit, bathing in grace and breathing in trust. We close our ceremony, honouring the Earth and Divine Source meeting one another in our hearts and lie down to integrate our dance journey for some time before coming back to circle and sharing our insights, inspirations, realizations and gratitude with our tribe. We choose to let go of our old stories and are empowered to share the new ones. It is through the power of the "sacred witness" that we are given permission to remember who we are, and let go of all that does not serve our highest vision of our life! Enjoy integrating with conversation and farewell hugs with your fellow dancers, and then go home for a cup of tea, perhaps some quiet journal time or a relaxing bath with 1/3 himalayan salts to cleanse any toxins released. You will be supported by weekly emails with suggested integration and exploration practices.

It has been a journey of transformation through expressive movement that has become her greatest joy and passion. Inspired by the healing powers of dance, she discovered Kundalini Dance on her path of awakening and had come into an ever-deepening acceptance of herself and the world around her through this spiritual practice. She is passionately on purpose when sharing this shamanic chakra dance journey that explores the Roots & Wings of one's very essence self! When Fire Phoenix Dancer is not on the dance floor, you may also find her sharing meditations, ceremonies, healing circles, special events, shamanic healing sessions, expressing her creative playfulness, spending time in nature, and most importantly, daring to be true to herself.http://wwwfirephoenixdancer.wordpress.comfirephoenixdancer@gmail.com"Inspiring the alchemy of change"
