A Yoga & Contemporary Dance Workshop

A Workshop in Yoga & Contemporary Dance
With Swati Mohan

The workshop is an attempt to finding inner connections present in the body and mind by exploring various tools presented by yoga, contemporary dance and theatre work. The class will have an hour of hatha yoga practice with mantra chanting, asana, pranayama and meditation integrated. This section will attempt to find "Flow" in asana practice progressively, so that, one can benefit from the dynamics of the seamless synchronization of energy, breathe and physical movement. The remaining hour, we will, explore contemporary dance and theater using improvisation with movement, text, sound and a partner.There will be emphasis on understanding the bio-mechanical functions of the body, which will help us in finding ease while moving and will also help us connect to our body. No prior experience, in either dance or yoga, is required for this workshop!
