No previous yoga experience required. Bring a towel! The Dance Alive(r) Method uses breath, sound and music to accompany you individually and with others through five elemental movement forms. Balancing spontaneity with structure, fluidity with resistance, right brain with left, expression with containment. The balance between building muscle and increasing fluidity trains us to become strong and adaptable. As we carry this strength and adaptability into our daily relationships and yoga practice, we become naturally aligned.) Ninaya specializes in life movement modalities.
