An exploration of self through Ha-Tha Yoga and Traditional West African Dance!

Connect to your ecstatic self through basic West African Dance and Ha-Tha yoga! African Rhythm Yoga explores the relationship between the wild, passionate, joy of traditional West African Dance and Ha-Tha Yoga.  Through basic dance movements, music, deep yoga stretches, chanting, breath work, and meditation you’ll discover the natural rhythms of your own individual body, mind, and spirit.  Dance and music in West Africa serve as “sadhana,” or spiritual rituals for communities to come together in celebration of birth, loss, marriage, and protection.   The traditional dance doesn’t focus on performance or technique, but rather a union with yourself and spirit.  Both West African Dance and Ha-Tha Yoga play with the balance of solar and lunar energy, steadiness and lightness, grounding and rising, heating and cooling.  As you begin to unite these elements within you, you’ll feel joyful, calm, ecstatic and peaceful.  Debbie's workshops are always open to all levels.  No dance experience necessary.
