Come bathe in her delicious sounds, beats and grooves. https://soundcloud.com/vesica-ecstatic VESICA is a dancers’ DJ with a predilection for soulful organic world beats and scrumptious global bass. Her sets are poly-genre, tempo-morphing, dance floor love that irresistibly moves feet, hips and heart into a deep and embodied journey of catharsis and transformation. VESICA invites you to loose and find yourself in the dance. VESICA is an Oakland-based Ecstatic Dance DJ whose journey began in the early days at the Ecstatic Dance at Sweets Ballroom in 2008. In 2010, VESICA co-founded Ecstatic Dance Berlin —the movement’s first international offshoot— helping spark its worldwide spread. Since then, VESICA has been invited to share sets across the world, from Lightning in a Bottle and cities like Los Angeles, Nevada City, and Oakland, to far-reaching dance floors in Moscow, Bukarest, Barcelona, and Ibiza. Yoga w/Kanna 10-11am Kanna’s journey with yoga began at 19, when she tripped and fell upon a video cassette of Tracey Rich & Ganga White, which became her steadfast practice for years. Fast forward two decades, dozens of teachers and disciplines, a yoga teacher training with Ambika Daniella Cotreau, and most recently a multi-year study with renowned master yogi Maritza, Kanna is excited to bring the culmination of her work to the world through teaching. Her yoga classes are best described as slow, Hatha-style alignment-focused asana meditations designed to bring deeper awareness into the subtle body and open energy channels. She works not just with the physical body but with the recognition that the practice is a way of communing with the divine, through opening senses and intentionally connecting to Soul. Her desire is that every class is a gateway to Soul Embodiment and that practitioners experience a visceral rearrangement into a higher order of coherence within their energy field. Come join the amazing community we co-create every week! It is our dance church and sanctuary! A place to connect and re-connect with yourself and others. A place where ALL are welcome and all emotions are welcome. Like other Ecstatic Dances, we are talk-free, substance-free, shoe-free and FREE spirited!
