The 3rd Chakra - The Dance of the Embodied Self

2/16/2021

 
Picture


​The sacred truth of the third  chakra is “Honor Oneself.”

​In what ways are you honoring yourself? 

The third energy center of the body is the Manipura Chakra, located around the navel and the solar plexus area up to the breastbone. It is the source of our vital life energy, personal power, and self-esteem.  

​When we stand strong in this chakra, we stand in truth, dignity, honor, and integrity.  We are reminded of our boundaries.

As we dance and bring awareness to this energetic center, we pay attention to the places that we lose power. By balancing this chakra through movement and energetic flow, we embody our inherent honor and all these aspects of ourselves that make us strong and true.

I invite you to come dance the dance of the embodied authentic self.

“Being true to ourselves gives us the courage to stand up for others.”

With love,

Sylvie and the SDP Team

ABOUT SYLVIE MINOT'S 5RHYTHMS CLASS

Sylvie Minot

In Sylvie Minot’s weekly online 5Rhythms class, you will be led on a journey of self-discovery as you join others in community. The class is made up of two waves. The first wave is your time to arrive, let go of your day and settle into your body. During the second wave, we dance more deeply and explore a specific theme.

5Rhythms is a simple movement practice designed to release the dancer that lives in every body regardless of shape, size, age, or experience. While the dance itself is simple, it has the power to catalyze deep healing and creative expression.

The primary teaching of this work is: If you put your psyche in motion, it will heal itself.

The five rhythms are Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness. They come together to create a wave.

Classes feature DJ music that is facilitated by the teacher, Sylvie Minot. There are no dance steps to follow, but you are guided in breath and movement through the different musical choices. Each rhythm has its own energy and tempo in which you tap into the wisdom of your body, bring awareness to the patterns in yourself and your life, and find your individual expression. No two classes are the same.

Any level of fitness, agility and ages are invited to participate. All are welcome and no prior dance training or ability is required.

Please note -- for the virtual 5Rhythms class, you don't have to connect via video--you can choose to call in or join by audio only and listen to the class through a headset. Some dancers enjoy going for a walk outdoors while they move to the music.
