Ten thousand stars,
one radiance,
a clear and boundless sky.
All the world is bathed in darkness,
Throughout the world, nothing but light;
Where do you find your self?

Dance with Fire: Unlock Creative Potential Through Yogic Practices and the Arts

The registration deadline is coming right up! Let me know if you are interested or have questions about this inspirational program. Each night is an opportunity to connect more deeply with yourself. Peel off layers of confusion, neglect and negativity. Say YES to a life that supports you every day!

This is the fourth offering of this exciting program. It came together in 2015 out of my desire to blend my creative life with my yoga practice. The journey has been amazing and I want to share it with you!

Have you ever wished for a little guidance getting through a creative block? Are you ready to reinvent yourself for the new year? Are you looking to find your creative voice? We'll go deep into body and mind to explore the unlimited potential of your creative voice. Not just for artists, this workshop is for anyone wanting to hear, feel and see their own creative potential. No previous experience required.

Week 1: Opening What shape will you take? What does it mean to live a creative life? Releasing and letting go, flowing open with change.

Week 2: Fear Step out of survival mode and begin to thrive. Move through creative blocks and step fully into your power.

Week 3: Know Thy Self Get intimate with your edge and deepen your connection with what you need to thrive. What makes you come alive?

Week 4: Creativity and the Brain Learn about connections between the creative process, yogic practices and how these activities heal mentally, physically and emotionally.

Week 5: Let it Flow Step fully into your creative voice and explore the experience of your freedom through movement.

Week 6: Creating space You are enough! Make a vow to your true self. Step fully into your personal evolution with clarity.

Hear what Dance with Fire participants have to say:

"I feel a deeper connection to myself with better focus allowing myself to be more free flowing."

"Things are definitely shifting in my life, I'm feeling like I can be more open."

"This class has helped to anchor me in my heart and hold me in my experience. It has been nourishing and expansive."

Join Monica for classes at two new locations

The first, a Gentle - Moderate, the other, Moderate - Vigorous. The intention of these classes is to advance your practice with a deeper commitment to yourself. Practicing self-love and compassion is at the heart of every class.

Both classes will start with a guided five minute meditation and end with five minutes of silent meditation. Asana in both classes will focus on upper body and core strengthening in addition to heat building standing poses to nourish and nurture joint health.
