Hello Conscious Dance Community-

The COVID 19 crisis has awakened, in my community and across the globe, an unprecedented call to heal and create.

In the last two weeks, my world has both shrank and expanded far beyond anything I could have imagined. Like everyone dealing with the social distancing precautions, my live, in-person teachings, workshops and entire business came to a grinding halt two weeks ago. While I had already been preparing to lead the first online version of LÎLA – Dance Alchemy for the Soul©, I was in no way...

In this Dance Alchemy© sample experience explore the feeling of being grounded and supported, amidst the changing flow of the environment.

Dance Alchemy© is about embodiment, or being in and connecting to your body in very specific ways so that you can understand concepts viscerally, or experientially vs. intellectually. 

The difference is, for example, when you learned about the concept of balance.
You may have heard the concept explained to you as an idea; but it was only when you actually rode your first two wheel bike and EXPERIENCED the feeling of balance in your body, you understood it in a totally new way. 

This is the WHY of LÎLA's Dance Alchemy©.

Notice how your body responds in this guided experience. 
What do you feel, what do you notice, and what do you get from this? 
What did you DISCOVER?  What you get is exactly right.

Its not about doing it correctly, its about doing it YOUR WAY to learn and uncover more for your own...

Being in the unknown can erode our innate sense of safety and security.
When routines and predictable nature of life is disrupted, the effects can be deeply unnerving...
Restore CALM and regain a sense of GROUNDING, in the midst of anything and everything during this trying time across the globe, in this 6 minute guided meditation.
