(Optional)

Since we live where everything is music, everything is dancing. – Rumi 

Join us for a week of ecstatic Yoga Trance Dance right on the sacred waters of the Aegean Sea.  Yoga Trance Dance is a contemporary exploration of the spirit of dance within yoga. It begins with prana yoga, the experience of prana initiating asanas, then flows into an exploration of free-form, breath-driven movement to liberate creative life force and cultivate embodied freedom.

This training will include

   
* An introduction to the Nataraj cosmology of dance within yoga    
* Archetypal themes of Yoga Trance Dance    
* Ways of connecting to manashakti and pranashakti, the creative and vital life forces    
* Prana yoga exercises, kriyas, and movement initiated by the breath    
* Talas or primary rhythms    
* Techniques for guiding free-form ecstatic dance and communal movement    
* Choreographing the musical wave of Yoga Trance Dance    
* Safety and injury prevention    
* Poetic language for guiding movement    
* The Yoga Trance Dance Reader and Music list. This intensive provides basic tools to explore the foundations of Yoga Trance Dance practice, and is designed for yoga teachers and yogadventurers interested in the interconnections of yoga and dance.  Includes Yoga Trance Dance Manual. This teacher training can be applied toward Shiva Rea’s 200- and 500-Hour Vinyasa Flow Teacher Training Certification (Yoga Alliance–registered).
