Ecstatic Dance
Dance as meditation is as ancient as humanity. Sacred dance is an important element of our human history and culture. It is a proven stress reliever and a fun way to express your creativity without the pressure of a nightclub environment.
Guidelines for Yoga Trance Dance
1. Move however you wish – full creative expression without judgement
(Dancing, sitting in meditation, stretching, shaking, laying on your mat or doing yoga are all appropriate)

3. Respect your space, others space, and the collective space

This Sacred type of Dance is done for transformation, healing, prayer, and creative expression.
