Display of feminine power: A formal course (Level 1)
by Nanci Traynor

Tuesday 7:30-9pm

Aug 3,10,17,24
Sep 7,14,21,28
Oct 5,12

This comprehensive course will jump start the student into the mysteries of Tribal Belly Dance of North Africa.

The student will learn the most important dance moves in order to lead in a circle. The beauty of this form of dance is it empowers the student to awaken their feminine energy in a community format. Hand, eye and body signals are used without words to improvise together as one.

Nanci will take the student on a journey of rhythms based on Jamila Salimpour’s research of zill patterns. The use of zill’s (Turkish term for finger cymbals) as a musical accompaniment to dance is documented to be 1500 years old. Each dance step of North Africa has it’s own zill pattern that goes along with it.

When KL-based yoga teacher Jason Isaac Collar was to try a yoga class for a bad back, he could never have anticipated the journey that followed. Jason tells his story:

“I had suffered from lower back pain for many years due to a birth defect called Spina Bifida. Spina Bifida, which literally means ‘cleft spine’ is characterized by the incomplete development of the brain, spinal cord and or meninges which is the protective covering around the brain and spinal cord.”

Jason decided to give yoga a try after reading an article suggesting yoga can help treat niggling lower back problems.

Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that is taught with primary emphasis on the physical alignment of the body in each pose. Usually only a few poses are performed during a class, but with great focus and awareness on the finer adjustments required to achieve proper alignment. Poses can be modified or intensified with the usage of props such as blocks, straps, ropes, blankets and chairs, thus making the practice friendly for beginners and challenging for regulars.

Some like it fast, some like it slow, some like it relaxing and some like it challenging. Read more »
