Ecstatic Dance
with Bijou
Date: 16 March 2024
Time : 5.00 pm - 6.30 pm
Venue : Vérité Hall
Description:
Ecstatic dance is an inner/outer journey, an authentic moving meditation where presence & embodied joy can be experienced. It creates a direct body-mind-spirit connection, allowing our body & inner guide to be our own teachers. It is a form of dance in which the dancers release themselves to the rhythm & move freely as the music takes them, leading to a trance-like state & a feeling of ecstasy.
Brief bio:
Bijou began exploring Yoga in 2014, far away from civilization in the Amazon jungle. This calling led to deeper research into the ancient art, including certification in 2015 (300 hr. Yoga Vidya Gurukul, Nasik). After initiations in Buddhist Meditation, Bijou found a way to incorporate Mindfulness and Yoga. His experience working with people recovering from trauma and substance abuse has enhanced his teaching, which focuses on the meditative and therapeutic aspects of Yoga.
