Ecstatic Dance is a practice of free-form dance, and encourages us to show up AS WE ARE. We follow the impulses of the body and spirit to move with the music, however the music moves you! There may be swaying, shaking, bouncing, crawling, clapping, stomping, and anything that feels right in the moment.
Cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine that allows us to soften into the subtleties of our experience, and opens us up to more connection and love. Together the cacao and dance work beautifully together to create deeper connection to yourself and to your community. For the first time we will have TWO WAVES of dance, meaning: we will build to a peak, come down and unwind, then build to a second peak, before coming down and integrating at the end. You can stay for one wave, or both! 7:30pm Opening Circle, Intentions, Cacao Ritual 8:30pm Wave #1 9:30pm Slowing Down, Clearing, Sharing 10pm Wave #2 11pm Integration & Conclusion You can integrate and duck out before the second wave if you like (around 10pm), or stay and build up your energy again! The first wave will be medium intensity with more tribal and house music, while the second wave will be more intense with a darker, edgier feel. $25 +hst per person Cacao & curated playlist provided Held at Yoga-Riffic: 713289 1st Line EHS in Mono All are welcome! Dance barefoot or in socks. Wear something you are comfortable moving in, layers are recommended for our opening and closing circle. Register here to secure your spot!

Harness the energy of the New Moon to reset your energy and your nervous system, to set intentions, and to make new connections in like-minded community.
Join us as we co-create a container of safety, compassion and radical self-love and acceptance in this restorative workshop. You'll get to connect with others in Circle, clear out the old residue in your nervous system, and set new intentions in alignment with what you desire, through the lens of Tantra Yoga ~ which is all about feeling total love for every part of your experience! We'll finish with Restorative Yoga and a closing Circle to integrate our time together. You'll come away from the afternoon feeling refreshed, energized, and restored. And you'll also have some great tools to use in your everyday for processing and integrating challenging emotions and experiences. Gift yourself an afternoon of exploration and ease as we reset with the lunar cycle. All are welcome and encouraged! And no yoga experience is necessary.

Cacao is a heart-opening plant medicine that allows us to soften into the subtleties of our experience, and opens us up to more connection and love. Together the cacao and dance work beautifully together to create deeper connection to yourself and to your community. We start with grounding in our opening circle and infusing the cacao with our intention. We'll work with the breath to gently open up the heart space, then transition into our ecstatic dance. We allow the music to take over to induce a state of flow and bliss through movement, before ending with stillness and silence. This trance-like state will leave you feeling expressed, embodied, and deeply relaxed. All are welcome! Dance barefoot or in socks. Wear something you are comfortable moving in, layers are recommended for our opening and closing circle.

We are not stagnant beings. We are more like a river”. ~ Kelly Kennedy, Lymph Queen
Join Natasha for this partnered playshop to explore embodied release, and leave feeling more free and fluid! The lymph system balances the body’s fluid, it identifies and filters all pathogens and toxicants and transports large molecules like proteins and fats. This underlying filtration system in the body is critical to our health so much so that we have enough lymph to wrap around our glove four times (blood only twice). Waste out is critical to our vitality. Learn how to regenerate, heal and ease the burden on your body. This partnered work will go much further than you and your chosen partner for this class will imagine and will be amazed by what you feel when you get to receive the added benefit of someone’s loving touch and care. Bring anyone you would like to gift with healing touch and attention, or come solo and find a partner there. Sunday, February 12th 2-4pm 229 Broadway at Kala Yoga in Orangeville, ON $25 per person, or $40 per pair. Sign up using the ticket link. See you there! Yoga for Beginners: 4 Week Series
