with Maya
The practice is structured according to the laws of sacred geometry and consists of smooth spiral, wave-like, and circular movements, figure-eights, conscious breathing, attention, and presence. These forms reflect the fundamental principles of energy movement in the Universe.
By moving through them, a woman aligns her body, restores connection with herself and her body, heals and harmonizes herself, her health, and her elements, and awakens her feminine nature: beauty, wisdom, fluidity, strength, and naturalness.
Mandala Dance is:
The circle, the spiral, the figure-eight, and the wave are not merely forms of movement — they are the primordial foundation of creation, the language through which the Universe itself speaks.
At the heart of the dance lies the Flower of Life mandala — the original harmonic principle of the birth and manifestation of all that exists.
Mandala Dance helps you discover and unfold your true nature and luminous potential, and deeply connect with your body, soul, spirit, and the space of Life.
By practicing Mandala Dance, a woman qualitatively transforms her state, health, and life:
properly aligns and structures her body, energy centers, and state, restores posture, plasticity, coordination, and stability
returns to conscious presence and embodied living, freeing herself from fatigue, negative experiences, tension, blocks, and stagnation
lowers levels of inflammation, cortisol, and stress, relaxes, and activates processes of rejuvenation and blood purification
strengthens her connection with the Earth and natural rhythms, and restores connection with her own power
learns to listen to, hear, and feel herself; restores her connection with herself and awakens, then harmoniously lives, her sensitivity, sexuality, softness, fluidity, and relaxation
restores harmonious interaction with people and the world — rooted in trust, openness, and support
returns to wholeness on the physical, emotional, and energetic levels
becomes aware of and brings into reality her true desires, needs, dreams, and intentions
It opens infinite possibilities to create and express creativity everywhere, and to be in clarity and presence.
It is a beautiful way to celebrate yourself and your life.
