Mycelium Movement Workshop with Djassi DaCosta Johnson
Mycelium Movement is a melange of Qi Gong, Kemetic Yoga and “pelvic girdle enlivening” dance based in the Afro-Diaspora traditions of “3s” (salsa, cha-cha & samba). As a classically trained modern dancer, Djassi developed this class rooted in her work as a Doula for the past 22 years, helping women and new mothers access their creative womb space, release tension and raise their vibrations. The class is accessible for all people at all levels of dance. The intention is to help transmute heavy or stagnant energy into positive vibrations within and around ourselves.
The class will start with Qi Gong to ground ourselves and connect with the Earth while releasing any stagnant energy within our bodies and moving the energy out for our own wellness and vitality. This will be followed by some stretching bringing in basic kemetic yoga poses & stretches and closing with moving our pelvic area through dance; Cha-Cha, Samba & Salsa.
The goal is to bring joyous movement to activate the creative sacral chakra space and radiate uplifting energies within us and out to the world around us.
Inspired by Mother Earth and Wombs.
Movement for All.
