EcstasyzingYou,
the student, are in charge of the
movements you do.There is no outward form to be achieved - the practice is inward. Ecstasyzing is meditation through
movement. Class Outline The length of each Ecstasyzing class is
broken into several activities, each
about 20 minutes long. Each activity is
begun by a change in music and simple
short instructions. Then there is no
speaking and for the remaining time each
student is on their own to follow the
instructions as they feel works for
them.

Who can do this?Anyone. There is no dance or yoga experience required, needed, or expected. This
is a healing activity. People with disabilities, injuries, and/or
physical limitations will benefit. Those recovering from trauma, life
events or addictions will find release. Dancers and movement practitioners
will also find growth in this process.
Limitations: Due to liability issues, class attendance is
limited to those over the age of 16.
Ecstasyzing will help anyone who practices it. Writers,
dancers, musicians, yoga teachers, belly
dancers, massage therapists, actors and others
who bring physical awareness or desire better
access to internal inspiration for their
practice will benefit. If you find yourself
moving your body while listening to music you
may be well suited to movement meditation.
