Ecstatic Dance San Francisco - ALIA

Sunday September 15 - ALIA Yoga - Rachael Freedman ALIA has been a resident of Ecstatic Dance Bay Area for almost 10 years and she contributes to Ecstatic Dances, conscious events, and festivals around the world. She is also an acclaimed original Electronic Music Producer, Vocalist, and Producer of the Feminine Medicine™ Project. Inspired by the global bass movement, her music is an evocative, lush journey into her own blend of bass-heavy electronic dance beats, melodic frequencies, gorgeous feminine voices, conscious lyrics, and sacred psychedelic sounds. Described as feminine and fierce, elegant and gritty, ethereal and primal, her music unfolds in a pulsing, hypnotic journey that moves both bodies and hearts. Rachael Freedman began her journey as a yoga teacher in order to heal herself. She graduated from architecture school with debilitating pain and found Yoga Therapy and Ayurveda helped heal her injuries. She completed her 200-hr, 500-hr, and Prenatal Yoga training with an emphasis in Yoga Therapy through The Stress Management Center of Marin. While completing her yoga studies, Rachael studied Ayurveda at Mount Madonna Institute and is a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner. She is very passionate about the benefits Ayurveda provides and enjoys sharing her knowledge.Rachael’s teaching draws from Viniyoga, connecting breath with movement and Yin Yoga, using props to allow the body to soften and release on a deeper level. She uses breath and mindfulness as the main tools to restore and renew the body through slow poses and transitions. You will leave her class feeling rejuvenated and nurtured. Inspired by her students, she is grateful to share the teachings of yoga. www.yogagardensf.com/rachael-freedman-2 9:45am - Doors Open 10am - Yoga (Contact Improv Class 1st Sundays) 11am - Ecstatic Dance with ALIA 1pm - Group Meditation 1:11pm - Closing Circle @ Church of 8 Wheels 554 Fillmore St. (& Fell), SF CA $18 Drop In Multiple Discount Passes also Available at the Door 4 for $15 each ($60), 10 for $13 each ($130) Cash or Card.
