At Exhale Center for Sacred Movement, Venice, CA

For yoga teachers and yogadventurers who are interested in the interconnections of yoga and dance, this Global YogaTranceDance intensive provides the basic tools to explore the foundations of yoga trance dance in your practice and in offering for diverse groups.


Evolving since 1994, Yoga Trance Dance is a contemporary exploration of the global healing potential of movement and the roots of free-form expression or sahaja within yoga. As part of conferences, festivals and yoga studios around the world since that time, YogaTranceDance has served as a catalyst for bringing ecstatic movement for every-body into the yogaworld.


Beginning with sahaja yoga or the experience of prana initiating yogasanas, moving through core kriyas or rhythmic energetic forms, yoga trance dance flows into an exploration of free-form, breath driven movement to liberate one’s creative life force and cultivate embodied freedom. Ending in deep meditation and mantra, yoga trance dance is a form that allows people of all backgrounds to experience the unifying cellular intelligence within and as a collective force for unity.
