For yoga teachers and you adventurers who are interested in the interconnections of yoga and dance, this intensive provides the basic tools to explore the foundations of Rhythm & Prana Flow.

We are all born knowing how to dance; this inherent movement is well documented as one of the oldest planetary yogas. Evolving since 1994, Rhythm & Prana Flow, created by Shiva Rea, is a contemporary exploration of the spirit of dance within yoga. Beginning with sahaja prana vinyasa or the experience of prana initiating yogasanas in a spontaneous, natural flow, yoga trance dance unfolds into an exploration of free-form, breath driven movement to liberate one’s creative life force and cultivate embodied freedom.
