The most common question I get is, “What is Yoga Groove?” I oftentimes joke saying, “It’s like a yoga rave without the drugs and alcohol,” but in reality Yoga Trance Dance is so much more than that.
Yoga Groove is a pathway to greater freedom in your body and in your life. It’s an invitation to explore the unlimited potential of movement and to transform yourself through rhythm, music and breath. The journey begins with the stillness of meditation to invoke reverence, gratitude and peace. It's from the still place that this experience unfolds, your spirit ignites and the ecstatic dance erupts. Yoga Groove awakens spontaneity and creativity, and opens the door to a deeper, more profound happiness that comes from fully inhabiting your body.
People have been dancing since the beginning of time. Our ancestors danced for every occasion. They danced to celebrate, to grieve, to worship; they danced for healing, for rain, for prosperity; they danced to express the unexplainable, the unspeakable and above all they danced to express the Great Mystery. Yoga Groove invites us back into the dance and into a greater connection with the larger, organic rhythms that we are unavoidably and undeniably a part of.
I am grateful for many teachers who have guided me on this pathway of discovery. I can’t write about Yoga Groove without talking about one of my greatest teachers, Shiva Rea, who created Yoga Trance Dance, and who transformed the way I practice yoga. You can learn more about her at www.shivarea.com
