Embodying Resilience: Virtual

Sunday, March 29, 2020 at 11 AM – 12:15 PM

Shift your Body, Shift your Mind.

We are being required to uplevel with this change.

I'm offering this class again because it was SO great and this time the tech will work! ;P

The ask has been on the table for many years now. We have reached the tipping point. Now we must look inside and draw on our internal resources and ask the big questions:

What is truly important?

How do I live in accordance and harmony with nature?

How do I thrive in the midst of change?

To help us restructure our minds we’ll approach gently through the body.

This class will be an embodied exploration of resilience. I will offer a flowing movement practice involving:

• Yogic practices from Sofiah Thom and Danyasa

• Adaptive energetic grounding work of Tadashi Suzuki

• Breathing practices

• Techniques from various movement practices within the Cocréa synthesis

• Environmental play to make use of our surroundings

The intention is to create the body as a dynamic, versatile, adaptive vessel that is resilient to change. We will find balance within movement, stillness within change, harmony amidst chaos.

Join your global dance community here!

The Virtual Exstatic Dance (#VED) is the opportunity to overcome the current crisis by making the world united through music. For 24 hours, DJs from around the world will live-stream their sets, while participants will live-stream their dance from home. United, again.

The #VED is also a platform for artists, who had to cancel their events or are themselves stuck in quarantine, to express their gifts and connect with the world. The entire 24 hours are guided by the sacred principles of ecstatic dancing, which you can read below:

1. Principle - No Judgment: The #VED is a non-judmental event, meaning that any type of move, including the absence of it, is received and tolerated.

2. Principle - No Drugs: The #VED is a drug-free event, encouraging people to show up sober and enjoy the experience with all their natural senses.

3. Principle - Radical Expression: #VED encourages to let out whatever wants to come out: whether you just want to sit, jump like a frog, or dance ecstatically - let your body run the show.

Let's make the world UNITED IN DANCE!

VX - Virtual Ecstatic - Weds Oakland Edition w. Sasha Rose

Wednesday, March 25, 2020 at 7:30 PM – 10 PM

We will coordinate playing the Soundcloud set on our own devices at the same time.  We will screenshare the master tempo, where we are at in the set if you join late!

Timing:

7:30pm - 7:45pm - Everyone Settled / Technology Managed

7:45pm - 8pm - Opening Circle / Intention Setting

8pm - 9:30pm - Ecstatic Dance

9:30pm - 10pm - Closing Circle / Meditation / Shareback

Social Dancing in a Time of Social Distancing!  This time last week in Oakland, we cancelled our first dance, in which Sasha Rose was set to play.  She's a new mother, making a road trip with her new family with her partner to play 3 Ecstatic Dances in the Bay Area.  The Virus had other plans.  But we shall overcome... We still have each other... And we can still Dance our Medicine in Times like these... just at a safer distance.

This Dance set will be a new original Ecstatic Dance set made specifically for this moment by Sasha Rose.  The event is hosted by Tyler Blank, Director of Ecstatic Dance. org and Ecstatic Dance Bay Area.  This event is produced for our Collective Social Benefit, of being able to "see" and "dance" with each other, through technology.  It is also a FUN(d)raiser for the artist and spaceholders of the Dance.  This Event is Produced by Donation Only.  Proceeds will benefit Sasha Rose, and the Team who host dances in Oakland, San Francisco, and Fairfax, who have also lost their incomes due to the current situation.

FREE online class: Neutralizing Fear to Build Immunity

Saturday, March 21, 2020 at 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM

Neutralizing Fear to Build Immunity

This one hour online class will offer insight into the current COVID19 Pandemic as well as provide energetic techniques to dissipate fear and build much needed immunity – on multiple levels.

Immunity takes on many forms and multiple meanings when we think about wellness, and we will briefly explore some of them together while offering practical solutions to promote wellness physically, mentally, and emotionally. Through energy exercises and guided imagery, we can set the stage for wellness.

We are offering this FREE opportunity in response to the COVID19 (coronavirus) outbreak that is crippling our world with fear, isolation, and a looming uncertainty of what might follow.

We are in this together – and together can make a difference when we join our energies and intentions - even in a cyber-community. No one need be alone during this troubling time.

Facilitators:

Nancy Auspelmyer is an Intuitive Consultant, Writer, Astrologer, and Life Journey Guide, exploring the life journey while focusing on the evolutionary Journey of the Soul. She has shared her knowledge and expertise through classes and workshops for over 30 years to awaken natural abilities, and coordinates Spiritual group travel to sacred sites and power places across the globe.

Empathic Yoga at Home: Let's Laugh!

March 18 - April 17, 2020 12:30 PM – 12:45 PM

Laughter yoga is a light-hearted and very effective way to laugh your way into a brighter day. A quick pick - me - up to change your mood, boost your immune system. Try it, it's super fun!

Laughter truly is the best medicine. In this short 10 - 15 minute, but very effective class, you'll be lead through a series of community connecting exercises to promote voluntary laughter.

Join Ranya and Yoga by Ranya every Tues - Fri at 12:30pm with Empathic Yoga at Home: Laughter Yoga!

But you'll soon see that the voluntary laughter turns to real laughter and that's when the body starts to heal and the mind releases anxiety and fear.  Whether it's real or fake, the body feels the same physiological and psychological effects of laughter. So either way, you'll benefit.

Yoga by Ranya believes yoga is the discipline of an intentional, ever-unfolding, and always observing the practice of being in the world. The lessons on the mat reveal how the body moves, where the mind wanders, or what the spirit intuits providing a glimpse into one's personal truth. And as a result, to recognize and ultimately release the ego.

It is my deepest, heartfelt hope that each student connects to their own radiant light and peace within or Ātman. And to recognize their divine selves as a part of the eternal frequency of the Universe, namely, love.

Facilitator: Ranya Anabtawi
