Rumi wrote that your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it. This is the essence of the heart Chakradance – to soften, to open and to harmonise the heart. Anahata, or heart chakra, is located in the […]
What is Chakradance? Starting at the Base Chakra, we use sound and movement to connect in with our subtle energy or chakras, releasing stuck energy, activating and cleansing our vital life force energy for vitality and wellbeing. Manipura, or solar plexus/navel chakra, is located in the spine behind the navel. It is the source of […]
The sacral chakra is the centre of our emotions and sensuality. In it’s full expression it enables us to live creatively and full of joy in the sensual experience of being alive.
At the base chakra we move our legs and feet to tribal beats, activating the foundation of our energy system, which provides stability, support and security to us energetically.
Do you know that your physical body stores your blocks and fragmentations? All that unresolved ‘stuff’ – held emotions, toxic beliefs about yourself, programs from childhood, they can all be stored as energy at a cellular level in your body.

This chakra is associated with the feelings of love and compassion. As Anahata is related to the element air, it is accessible through the breath. Visualising breathing through your heart centre, imagining love-filled light entering your body via your heart is a wonderful heart-opening exercise.

It is easy to dismiss the third eye chakra as being a bit woo-woo. But that’s only half the story. This chakra is believed to be the command centre of our energy body, where our main energy channels meet and intersect. But beyond this, the third eye chakra is also associated with the pineal gland which has several key functions which are absolutely vital to our health and wellbeing.
Chakradance is a journey within. Using the chakra system as a map to consciousness, we dance beyond the everyday, five sensory awareness into a deeper experience of ourselves. With our eyes closed and our imagination as a guide, during Chakradance we experience our inner world as a waking dream. This allows us to move through the issues that may be causing us difficulties in life, and to find a sense of inner peace.
