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.
