Awakening your dance consciousness through movements
Immerse yourself in a transformative and restorative experience by awakening your dance consciousness through movements. This workshop is designed for those who want to learn the basic ballet steps through a customized yoga class that balances your “doshas.”
Through this workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn how to dance using a yoga approach while developing the following skills:
- Incorporating breathing and relaxation techniques into your dance steps
- Increasing awareness of the action of walking
- Developing independence of different body parts when dancing or moving
Regardless of your profession, this workshop will provide you with the tools to implement these techniques into your daily routine.
Ballet Yoga combines the benefits of yoga with the grace and beauty of ballet. Through this practice, you will learn how to flow with the power of yoga and the elegance of ballet, leading to a transformative and restorative balance between ballet movements and body consciousness. Don’t miss this opportunity to awaken your dance consciousness and experience the best of both worlds.
