Intro to Conscious Movement with Mini Sound Bath
February 22, 2024
Ruby Koa and movement teacher Denise Skinner offered this session as a free event 2/22/24 to give folks a taste of our upcoming in person New Moon Conscious Movement & Sound Journey event, and and to test the waters about teaching this sort of modality online.
This lovely session will allow you to shift stuck energy in your body by moving to music and then integrating your dance experience relaxing to sound healing instruments like Tibetan metal singing bowls and chimes.
Note on Sound: You'll most likely want to lower your volume during the sound bath as Ruby's mic just came through louder than Denise's. Ruby found on her end, while watching the video, that she wanted to turn the volume all the way up during Denise's segment, but turned it down to just 50% during her segment.
Benefits:
Feel more IN your body
Feel better from moving to fun and heart centered music
Feel more relaxed and release stress and tension
Get out of your thinking mind and more connected to your body
Movement of your life force energy
What to Have Available: A space to dance! Hook up to an outside speaker if possible (not your computer speaker)
Yoga mat, cushion/bolster and blankets for sound bath portion.
More on Azul Conscious Movement: Denise teaches a modality of conscious dance called "Azul Conscious Movement", that was founded 10 years ago by the previous 5 Rhythms teacher of over 20 years, Amara Pagano. She developed a beautiful spiral map, that when embodied can awaken consciousness and connect us to our hearts to awaken love.
In each class, the facilitator uses elements of the spiral in which to explore as well as it follows what she coined the "4 orientations" of "Listening, Allowing, Opening and Moving Towards".
During each Azul class, we call on the intelligence of our body which contains all the information needed in order to complete our healing journey and access our full power.
Through music and movement we can often get into our bodies to actually feel what is going on, then through the process of dance and the "journey" that the facilitator takes us on, it can help liberate the stuck energy and move into more wholeness and connection with what our bodies are trying to tell us.
