Dance JOY with Yael

Dance JOY with Yael Dance JOY Classes for EVERYBODY! DANCE to FEEL, DANCE to HEAL
Body-Centred, Soul-Stirring JOY!

SacredSpirit Embodied Dance Classes are an exhilarating, soul-stirring, body-centred, joyfully grooving, somatic, FUN, dance-fitness experience! They bring a perfect balance of freedom and form (simple choreography), great world-inspired music, and draw from an inspired fusion of dance arts, healing arts, martial arts, sounding and breath work! Classes, which last one hour, are a playful and safe cardiovascular workout, with permission to show up AS YOU ARE, harmoniously nourishing body, mind, emotions and spirit! Every 'Body' is welcome - all ages, genders, shapes, sizes and fitness levels! Yael's unique fusion in these JOYFUL classes, are inspired from her wealth of experience as a longstanding dancer, (trained in ballet, modern, classical Greek), Nia teacher (12 years and trained to highest level), student of Tai Chi, Yoga, Alexander Technique, Transformational Breath® Group Leader & 1:1 facilitator, Choir Leader, Sound Healer, and ongoing self-enquiry!

TOMORROW we DANCE!!

9.20am at Lansdown Hall & Gallery in the main hall upstairs
Fabulous community, with lashings of body-centred barefoot JOY!

There's only one way to find out if this is a fit for your BODY & SOUL!
Join us :)

Cost is £12 drop-in (cash on the door) or discounted to £10 per class when paying in advance for a block.

I put together wonderful soundscapes, with simple guidance and patterns that encourage a deep-drop into your body, accessing all its sensations and messages through its natural, most pleasurable way to move. This can spill out and bring true support into your life, while detoxing (having a good sweat) and increasing fitness. What's not to love?

You are very very welcome 🩷🧡💛💜

LIFE HAPPENS . DANCE HELPS
We don’t dance to escape life.
We dance to meet it.
Fully. Boldly. On our own terms.

This body holds the wisdom.
This rhythm holds the key.
And every time I move, I remember who I am.
Unapologetic. Alive. Unshakable.

So yes, life happens.
And I?
I dance through it like I own the floor.

Your Body, Your Way! Join us!

Nia Class is a sustainable, exhilarating, somatic, dance-movement, perfect balance of freedom and form, done barefoot to soul-stirring music that draws from a combination of dance, healing and martial art forms. This holistic and innovative approach to fitness goes far beyond traditional exercise. It harmoniously connects body, mind and soul in a joyful and spiritual way, and provides aerobic conditioning, body toning, and strength building in a safe, effective workout suitable for all ages and all levels of ability.

Classes last one hour, and I teach 4 Classic Nia classes a week: 3 in Stroud and 1 in Nailsworth. I also love offering solo and collaborative events, courses and retreats - take a visit to my web page www.nianow.com/yael-hochenberg for all up-to-date details of these, and do get in touch by email or text to find out more . I can also offer taster workshops in your area, by arrangement! Get in touch if you’re interested! Every 'Body' is welcome - all ages, genders, shapes, sizes and fitness levels!
