So your first question probably is “What is YogaDance?”
I see YogaDance as a journey. It is a yoga and dance based fitness experience that uses music and movement to bring you to life, elevate your heart rate, lower your inhibitions, and connect you to your body with joy and acceptance. Your soul will soar to an electric mix of music from around the world that simply begs for your body to move from pulsating primal rhythms and funky, rocking beats, to soothing mediative flows.
I see YogaDance as an opportunity to connect to our roots. In many countries and cultures around the world people dance together as a community in celebration of or in devotion of something, just because. Over the years, as Americans, we have lost this connection and have attached a stigma to dancing. We worry about what other people will think about our dancing as opposed to how our dancing makes us feel.
Once you have experienced a YogaDance class, you will realize that no one is watching you, everyone is too busy enjoying themselves to be concerned about what moves you are making. No dance experience or dance partner is required. You simply need to bring yourself and have fun. If you ever have the opportunity to dance your yoga, I highly recommend it.
I have the opportunity to teach YogaDance this weekend and here is the playlist that I will be using.
