So many life experiences can cause us to shut down, ignore, or confuse our inner feelings, beliefs, and values. The deep embodiment cultivated in DANCEmandala practice can turn this around, developing inner clarity, self-acceptance, love, vitality, and spiritual-emotional healing.
“[This] is a method of moving meditation that encourages natural and authentic self-expression, re-connection to one’s core essence, one’s creative life force, awareness, and equanimity.” –AK Tri-siddha, founder of DANCEmandala

Let me tell you about this practice and what we'll be doing…
It all begins with carefully curated music. I choose each track carefully and with intention. While I draw from a wide range of genres, from electronic beats to singing bowls, each piece of music will help you move into a specific layer of meditation. You will likely notice a warm-up, rising energy, connection to the heart space, and a final stillness. All you need to do is listen and let your body respond to the rhythms.
We’ll start the practice in an open format, with each person finding their own transition into dance. You might choose to breathe, stretch, move, or be still while I give my introduction and opening guidance. You’re invited to close your eyes, turn inward, and focus on the sensations and natural movements of your body.
You’ll then be verbally guided through the different stages of the meditation. Each time, the experience will have a similar structure, but different aspects of the meditation will stand out to you on different days.
You can explore any movement (or stillness) throughout the meditation, and we always encourage you to follow your body’s intuition.
DANCEmandala meditation is about an hour and a half long, and we will have extra time at the end for integration and sharing.
You don’t need to know any specific movements or choreography… and there is no right or wrong way to move your body!
We’ll end with a closing circle of grounding practices and optional sharing with others about your experience.
