Saturday 03 AUGUST
HATHA YOGA WITH @rita_heartist
Hatha Yoga is also known as the ‘science of purification’. When the body is purified, the energy moves within the physical structure and along the chakras, directly to the brain and so the evolution of human consciousness goes in a fluid and natural way.
CAPOEIRA WITH @filhos.angola
Capoeira Angola comes from Brazil. A manifestation of the African diaspora, this art was conceived as a response to the oppression of slavery and forced migration. It is a dance, a fight, an art, a song of resistance in the face of adversity. Music, ritual, trickery, and elegance intertwine in a game that enchants and absorbs both the player and the observer to the sound of the berimbau.
YOGA & MOVEMENT WITH @yogawithyeni
Yoga means Unity, and through the practice of Yoga we can experience our unified essence. How? Well there are infinite ways! In this workshop we will explore yoga through the expansion of the body, breath and mind. We will unlock expression, physically and mentally with the power of movement. Only in freedom we can experience unity. I am one.
