SCHEDULE : KRIPALU WORKSHOPS

Shake It!  Dance to Heal Your Stress

We all experience stress, and our bodies and minds suffer when we don't process our stress. It accumulates, leaving us feeling tense, frustrated, confused, and depleted. We've lost our sense of center—and our power.

Come learn to "motionally" process the emotions and tensions connected to the stressors in your life! Daniel Leven's work, Shake Your Soul® and SomaSoul®, integrates body psychotherapy, the expressive arts, dance, and movement therapy.

In this workshop, you will:

• Move through the stresses in your body to unearth the messages, stuck emotional energy, and unfulfilled needs that lay hidden within the tensions
• Transform muscular and visceral tensions that inhibit the free flow of energy within your body
• Dance your way to freedom and ease through Shake Your Soul/Kripalu YogaDance™
• Discover how the expressive arts provide a contemplative, creative, and effective means to discover and expand your body, mind, and life.

Healing and full of depth and joy, this workshop is also appropriate for health and wellness professionals who wish to learn new healing modalities for treating physiological stress.

Yoga Wave~Dance Craze

Spend three days moving with fluid power and dancing from the pulsing currents within. This workshop will integrate elements of Shake Your Soul and Kripalu YogaDance™ with Afro-Caribbean dance, all accompanied by live drumming.

Come learn to move in concert with the wave patterns that naturally occur in your body, discovering undulating patterns of movement through floor exercises and basic vinyasa flows that lead into delicious dance movements. Rippling through your muscles and organs, these waves will carry you to a world of movement pleasure that is both sacred and sensual. You will find deep reserves of power as you tap the fluid and rhythmic inner currents.

Traditional Afro-Caribbean and Haitian dance will introduce you to a culturally and spiritually rich tradition that echoes the nature of your fluid body and spiritual essence. When you return to the fluid origins of movement, your spirit awakens, and you feel your connection with the healing energies of earth and sky. You will head home with renewed energy and the deep satisfaction of living in a body that receives its power from the soul.
