YANTRA

Embody Sacred Geometries

 
 

YANTRA Embody Sacred Geometries series of workshops is rooted in the practical and spiritual wisdom of the Odissi body, where we cultivate the body as a tool for meditation and enhanced Awareness.

Odissi dance vocabulary is developed from the embodiment of fundamental shapes such as the square, triangle and circle. Through internal alignment the physical body is energised, inner paths of awareness are awakened and the thinking mind falls into the exact right place. It is given the opportunity to rest in action (the moving body). In this rest of the mind and the alignment of the body, there is the potential for tapping into ancestral wisdom. In Eastern philosophical traditions, this ultimate truth is the experience of Union with the Divine: I am That.


MOKSHA

24th May 2025, 11-12.30

Online (Zoom) and In Person (London) options available

in this workshop, we will explore the basic odissi vocabulary, combining the practical with the spiritual understanding of the body. importance will be given to correct alignment, both from an anatomical perspective, that ensures safe use of the body, and from an energetic perspective, that allows the opening of internal blocks and flow of inner power.

  • How do we embody the square? the circle? the triangle?

  • How does it feel to find these sacred geometries in the body?

  • Where do we feel blocks and where do we feel flow?

  • What is the power of activating our spine?

  • What further awareness is galvanised through embodied rhythm?

As part of this workshop, we will study a section of Moksha, a powerful odissi traditional choreography that explores the Union with the Divine.
