Ysynergy YDance Teacher’s Training (40 and 60-Hour Programs)

YDance is a synergy and delta of modern free dance movement and ceaseless flow of natural movement through yoga vinyasa beautifully choreographed to relate your physical to the emotional and spiritual being and becoming.

You will have more than an aerobic workout as you move with the musical rhythms that speak to your heart and soul. YDance helps you remove negative emotions, making you free and liberated and even bring about healing of person and relationships.

It is a potpourri of celebration, rejuvenation, and creative joy through movement.

Union of Yoga and Dance

YDance is a union of two great traditions, yoga and dance, which come from and are united at the source but allowing different emphasis to fit your needs. It is appropriate for all levels and like lovers, who takes the lead at times may vary but they are seemingly inseparable. From birth we are all born as natural dancers, but we may have stopped dancing in our later years due to the overwhelming demands of the modern living.

Benefits of YDance

We are enslaved by the pressures of our fragmented modern lifestyles whether it is due to all that working, sitting, standing, driving, cell phoning, computer or cyber timiming, we have this strange combination of being more physically bound while mentally scattered - a divergence of body and mind. The ensuing effects can be felt as stiffness, rigidity, limited range of motion even when we are exercising.

The antidote: Our body needs to move and our internal state needs to be rejuvenated through meditation, movement and ecstatic embodiment.

The focus of YDance is not the outward performance of the right dance steps but to allow your creativity to dictate the movement. In YDance, we emphasize that the form serves spirit, structure is subordinate to intuition and yoga prepares us for free-form dance, and your dance opens your being for a greater experience of the unified self that is yoga. Both are inseparable and integrated in each others like a pair of lovers.

YDance aims to provide you with an experience and realization that that you can explore for yourself the potency of free-flow yoga and dance as well as music that can continue to water your life.

Our intention is to bring greater fluidity, breath, range of motion, stamina for life, and embodied joy into our being and life.
