About the workshop:
Twerking has been called many things in the southern region and celebrated for hundreds of years culturally in many rituals, conversations, experiences and ceremonies. Globally twerking has become a phenomenon to describe strong and sensual feminine movements that typically involve the hips, waist and core. When we dig deeper into the individual and collective meaning of these dances one thing that reigns true is polyrhythm in tandem of the body and soul.
Twerking activates the sacral chakra which is associated with sexuality, creativity, and emotion in yogic tradition.
Our sacral chakra or Svadhishthana, which translates to “your own place” seeks pleasure and enjoyment. The sacral chakra is also your center of creativity and sexuality. A balanced 2nd chakra radiates warmth and can speak freely about emotions. When this chakra is out of balance or blocked, a person may experience self-doubt, emotional instability, fear of change, sexual dysfunction, depression, or addictions. Passion and love are hard to achieve.
To balance the sacral chakra, all it really requires is for us to do more of what makes us happy! It’s simple things like dancing, singing, and yoga.
