DANCE AND BE FREE

Embrace a state of ease and inner peace through restorative yoga then hit the dance floor and free your spirit.

  • Experience the exuberant joy and captivating rhythms of salsa.
  • Explore how the spiritual and cultural evolution of salsa complements the path of yoga.
  • Chant and drum from the yogic and Afro-Cuban traditions to open the door to Spirit.
