Dru Dance is a beautiful fusion of yoga and dance. Often following a theme or energetic flow, these dances can bring a deeper sense of connection to your self and the world around you - and this Dru Dance does just that!
Flow-ins are activation movements to help you warm up and prepare for certain movements in the Dance.
Break down the Dance and learn it in small sections. Link them together as you learn to anchor each phrase in turn.
Enjoy the whole Dance as a flow. Once you've learnt it, why not practice this flow in your garden or out on your daily walk to tune in to the elements of nature and holding a sense of gratitude and reverence for nature.
Complete the class with a simple movement to stretch out and release any muscular tension. Then relax with a simple child pose to ground and connect with the earth element.
Loved this thank you Rika. Beautiful sequence & I love your pace & teaching style.
love this sequence I first encountered it at the yoga show this year with Christianne and loved it - thank you Rika for explaining it so beautifully too.
A Beautiful ODE Thanks. Which music Did you use?
I loved it all and will come back to this lovely graceful, flowing dance. Thank you, Rika!
Thank you Rika. It's a really lovely sequence and like all Dru Dance it expands my heart, tunes my body and increases my awareness- in this case, of Mother Earth. What a beautiful way to give reverence to her!
After the “wiping the slate clean” sweeping movements with the matsa mudra at the end, I seem to need to bring my hands and arms up the midline above my head into the lotus mudra again at the end and then bring hands down to namaste - does this negate the whole sequence?! I’m going into the garden now to practise, thank you again Rika.
Thank you, I really enjoyed the sequence, beautifully taught and exactly what I needed today.
Beautiful, lovely to practice yoga as a flow in dance, thank you.
Wonderful to see you back in Dru Dance action Rika. I know you haven't actually been away as such, but it warms my heart to see you on video with your beautiful Dru Dances again.
So looking forward to this class - I've had a sneak peak and it's incredible! A fantastic combination of flow, grace, power, strength and reverence for Mother Earth. :-) Thank you Rika - and welcome to the Studio!
