This podcast includes bite-sized insights on dance, yoga, well-being, creativity, and joy! Today in episode 38, we’re taking a mental trip to a beach bonfire, where the scene is set to unwind your tension and tune you in to the beauty of nature.
In ballet and modern dance, I have always delighted in movement inspired by imagery of the natural world, food, mythology, art, poetry…in fact in podcast episode 006: Using Visualization + Imagery in dance, yoga & meditation I discussed imagery in general, as well as read a poem called “Fragile and Rooted” about a flower blooming, which then inspired Blossom Visualization Yoga, a 55-minute practice.
Imagery is also important to my meditation practice, and I recorded a Yoga Nidra: Deep Relaxation Practice Video on my YouTube Channel along with tons of other free yoga, dance, and coaching goodies, with even more available to subscribers to my weekly email newsletter.
I first experienced a meditation on the theme of the four elements in German, with Luisa Doerstel at the yogaloft here in Cologne. I love using vivid images to fuel my movement in yoga and dancing and find that this sort of visualization can create a wonderful sense of awe and relaxation.
