Atelierworkshop: Yoga de la danse/Yoga of Dance avec/with Amrita Choudhury

S’il vous plait reserver votre place/Please reserve your place now.

Le yoga et la danse indienne sont des disciplines inséparables. Selon les anciennes croyances, les Écritures sacrées nous ont été transmises par les dieux et les déesses à travers l’expression, le mouvement, et le rythme de la danse. Les positions yogiques et les mudras sacrés découlent d’une position à l’autre, en douceur, comme une danse. La musique rythmique lente et rapide est employée pour faciliter la réalisation des postures. La respiration yogique appropriée, le chant sacré d’anciens mantras et la méditation concluent cette forme merveilleuse de danse-yoga. Une expérience intégrant vraiment le corps, le mental et l’esprit; une forme de méditation dans le mouvement qui est vraiment spirituelle et édifiante !
