About this Event

Serpentine Vinyasa Flow is a practice and exploration into the art of embodiment bringing together elements of tribal fusion, yoga, and intuitive movement, in a 90 min vinyasa style femme focused flow. The practice is meant to be experienced as a journey, aligning and awakening our spinal and sacral energies as we move in circles and spirals, undulating and informing our bodies to move as channels for our higher selves. These classes are not only about teaching a dance style or technique, though that is part of it; they are also meant to be an experience through which our focused intent in our physicality can give way to deeper experiences of consciousness and creative flow. In other words, a way to access flow states. Serpentine Vinyasa Flow lays out the foundational structure and fundamental movements that will be built upon over time as our practice develops. The focus is not on choreography, but on integrating movements into our body that we can take into our own free-form dance practice. My personal background is in hoopdance and fire arts, yoga, and a style of tribal fusion called serpentine studies. I am also a facilitator and mixmaker for ecstatic dance. For me, the ultimate goal here is for us all to feel deeply embodied and able to access the state of flow. Flow states are states of altered (heightened) consciousness where our bodies and minds become instruments - thus we are not dancing, but instead are being danced. Like happiness, flow is not something you can chase or make happen, but you can consistently cultivate the conditions for flow to happen. My aim as your guide is to help cultivate these conditions. "Flow states are a bridge between worlds; we embody and materialize a higher frequency right here and now. This is what makes this dance style so captivating, hypnotizing and mesmerizing, it’s something the mind can’t quite grasp but there’s a deep inner knowing that we’ve just witnessed something out of the ordinary. The dance then transcends beauty or even art, and becomes a transmission for healing, awakening, and remembering. A catalyst that impels us to find out the truth about who and what we are." - Imaya Sabine ~~~~~~~~ This is a covid conscious class, masks are required. I will encourage spaciousness between bodies.
