Thank You for activating a local Trance Dance Community!!

Indulge your senses in world-beat music, visual art, poetry, and ecstatic embodiment. The evening begins with breathing, chanting, progressing to dancing, moving meditations, blessings ritual, and ending with still meditation, and stellar company. Malika Shay trained with world-renowned Master Yoga Teacher, Shiva Rea in Yoga and Trance Dance. She integrates a fusion of Sacred Teachings that allow you to Dance the Divine(Deva) into your Being.

Always arrive 15 minutes prior to the start time of the Yoga Trance Dance. We generally always start at 7:30pm unless it is a demo or fundamental class. If the Trance Dance you are attending begins at 7:30pm, please arrive promptly between 7:15- 7:20 PM to set your space and get attuned into a deeply relaxed state. It is very important to not arrive any later than 7:20 PM. This is a very intimate experience that requires enough time to cultivate a silent, clear, and safe space. If you have not pre-registered, you will have to arrive early to sign in. Consider others that have not registered as well.

 Wear comfortable, yet secure clothing. I encourage Yoga Attire with a fun and brilliant flare. Colors that activate you. Clothes that Inspire you.

Bring a blindfold.

No heavy eating before hand.

Bring something to drink for your self and a washcloth to wipe your sweat off.

You will be surrounded in an atmosphere of Beings Dancing the Divine into Embodiment. Seeing and experiencing our selves through the eternal Source of Spirit,  the "I" disappears and the Truth of who we really are appears. This can be primal, spontaneous, magical, joyful, powerful, and sensual. We reconnect with Divine Source and  experience our bodies natural harmonic movement. This is the state of being fully alive and present in our togetherness, empowering us to re-experience the evolution of our own consciousness.

Tips For Preparing Internally before a  Yoga Trance Dance:

1. Be mindful of the elements by observing, communing with nature, and contemplating  and experiencing the subtle energetics or qualities of the Earth, the Waters, The Wind, The Fires, and Space.

 2. Dont skip your meditation practice this week. Go Deeper into stillness, and magnetize your Self daily by inviting the multicolored manifestations of the One into your Heart.

 3. Dance to at least one song daily until the Devadance Saturday, weather you are alone or with friends. Groove to the Move of  the Music, and practice (or play) into enjoying your self by losing your self into your creative movement

 4. Release Judgment of your self and others around you. Ease off of what you think is right, wrong, good, bad, what you like, dont like, etc.

 5. CHECK OUT THE "ELEMENTS" PAGES  to inspire you.

 When You Arrive:

 * PLEASE arrive quietly and in silence, whisper.  A meditative state needs to be invoked for a successful trance. Invoke an open heart and an open mind. Move away from mental and emotional  distractions 100% for the next 3 hrs. You owe it to your Self.  Set it aside and take advantage of the possibility of radical internal healing. The more you surrender your self, the more Ecstasy you receive.

* PLEASE Refrain from Talking until after the trance dance. We exhaust vital energy this way. Holding a meditative space will build a potent atmosphere that will bring you much Transformation.

* Please use the restroom before we begin, as once your in the room, we stay in for the whole journey, to seal magnetic energy that is accumulated. There will be times to break, however, It is distracting to have people coming in and going out. Please be aware that we are all going on an inward journey together, (and once we leave the dock, there is no jumping off the boat!) We enter together, we leave together.

* If you have never been in a trance dance before, realize that this is a contact dance 65% of the time, and when we are not physically contacting one another, we are connected in the mind and Heart.  Maintain a safe space for us All-When our hands and  bodies touch- let it come from the Highest and Purest state of sacred intention and merciful Love.

* PLEASE be mindful and sensitive to other participants by helping to provide a safe space for people to let go.

No videos, pictures, Turn Cell phones off. Many of us are going through drastic change, and we come to rebirth our selves into new perceptions of Positivity, Courage, Vitality, and Inner Harmony. May we all align our intention toward healing and transforming our self and situations back into Harmony, what ever that may mean for you.

* PLEASE ride the ecstatic trance dance journey with me the entire time! This is not a spectator sport, everyone has a responsibility to Dance as if this were their last night on Earth. It will make others feel uncomfortable if you just sit on the sidelines and watch them. It is certainly OK to relax when you need to, and sprawl out on the earth to stretch and release, and experience the inner dance occurring. You are encouraged to go deep into your journey, whether that look like high intensity movement, or it may also look like deep stillness and silence. We just want you to be present, most importantly. If you get stuck in a moment worrying what others are thinking about you, then you are encouraged to dismantle those ego thoughts/feelings and be fully present in your Bliss for the benefit and safety of All. On a daily basis, it is too easy to get caught up into those experiences. For tonight, break free from boundaries and limits that shadow your Light from shining. Make an internal commitment to surrender to the waves, and allow me to give you the greatest Gift I can offer You.  If U get tired, dance slower, or meditate, but hold the focus above all. Your energy inspires EVERYONE in the room! Lets INSPIRE each other.

* PLEASE realize there is no right or wrong way to dance, this is not a dance contest. No one is judging you and no one cares how creatively silly you are, you will only INSPIRE us more!

* DevaDance enables us to build a creative, conscious community of friends. We can learn how to break away from old patterns of shyness, and low confidence. We can see that we are Devi's ( Goddess)and Deva's ( Gods)Dancing the Divine Into Our Being!

* We will be moving through many dynamic meditations from different cultures around the planet so you  can experience the diversity of transcendental  ecstatic states.

You will have a very special experience, and this ceremony is totally hosted for the sake of bringing more Beauty, Peace, Joy, and Nourishment into Your Life. Thank You so much for co-creating with me and community.  We will have a total Blast!

Into The Bliss~
