About Shiva Shakti Dance

Shiva Shakti Dance is for ALL women, of ALL shapes, sizes, ages, cultural backgrounds, religious beliefs, and sexual orientations.

No dance experience is needed (in fact, many women have never danced before they arrive at the studio).

Every woman is unique. No two hips sway the same. Every woman is unique. 
No two hips sway the same. 

When we gather together in the spirit of connection,
we have so much to learn from each other. 

New ways of moving. 
New ways of feeling. 
New perspectives enter our awareness. 

The fiery woman imparts her magic to the watery woman. 

The sultry mysterious one, shows the playful one how to deepen, 
and she in turn teaches her partner the joy holding the moment lightly. 

The coy maiden allows the audacious seductress to feel the sweet tenderness of meeting the moment fresh and full of vulnerability.

All these multifaceted possibilities are revealed through her hips, her glance, her posture, the tone of her sigh, the gestures she makes with her hands. 

We learn through empathy. Resonating with one another. 

When you notice a woman, who radiates a quality unfamiliar to you, 

instead of competing, or feeling small, or trying to impress, or being overcome with envy…

Lean in, feel her, feel her unique way of being resonate and awaken in your body. 

There’s a smorgasbord of feminine delights awaiting.

What actually are EMOTIONS? Generally we conside What actually are EMOTIONS? 

Generally we consider them as something that happens to us, that are triggered and create a series of experiences in our body.

We see a snake, it triggers FEAR in us, our heart starts racing, our palms sweat, pupils constrict creating a kind of tunnel vision where everything else falls away and our sympathetic nervous system becomes aroused ready to mobilise our body into action. 

That's usually how we think about emotions, right? 

Well Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett is blowing my mind lately as I'm reading her book 'How Emotions Are Made' 🤯

Her 25yrs of research is showing that we actually MAKE emotions, and 'emotion circuits' don't exist at all. 

What we experience as EMOTIONS are simply the MEANING we give to pure SENSATIONS. 

And the meaning we give is predicted by our brain based on our previous experiences.

Consider this... 

Your heart starts racing, your palms sweat, pupils constrict creating a kind of tunnel vision where everything else falls away and your sympathetic nervous system becomes aroused ready to mobilise our body into action

...except this time you're on a hot date. 

You don't experience fear, you experience DESIRE. 

The context of your sensations matters!

EXCEPT your brain doesn't readily know the context - it's stuck inside your head - it just registers the sensations and is trying to predict what will happen (create meaning) based on your previous experiences with those sensations. 

So if in the past there's been many or significant instances that when you've felt your heart racing something 'bad' has happened, your brain might predict and create the emotion of 'TERROR' in repsonse to the pure sensation of your heart rate increasing.

Even though this time you're on a hot date

Or trying to start running for exercise

Or your boss just praised your great work

Or you've jumped into cold lake

Or you've simply stood up too quickly. 

All things that increase your heart rate but are not usually cause for terror. 

So Lisa says, 

“If you change the ingredients that your brain uses to make emotions then you can transform your emotional life”

That's amazingly empowering in my opinion.

Qualities of being in a flow state: * Action and Qualities of being in a flow state:

* Action and Awareness Merge: You and what you’re doing become one. Your actions feel automatic and require little or no additional resources. 

* Selflessness: Your sense of self disappears. As self-consciousness goes away, the inner critic is silenced.

* Timelessness: You experience an altered perception of time. Past and future disappear as you enter “a deep now.”

* Effortlessness: Your sense of struggle and frustration vanishes. 

* Intrinsic Motivation: The experience is “autotelic.” This means the activity has a purpose in itself.  The activity or work becomes its own reward. 

* Paradox of Control: You have a powerful sense of control over the situation. In flow, you are the master of your own destiny.

Embodiment practices for sensual awakening are par Embodiment practices for sensual awakening are part of a relatively new revolution in women’s liberation, when I started teaching over a decade ago there’s was literally only 2 other women in the world I could find doing similar work. Now the demand is increasing rapidly and the movement gaining more and more momentum as individuals are celebrating and revealing in the transformational power it holds to fully flourish as an integrated, fulfilled, modern women.

If you desire to supporting this exquisite unveiling of the beauty, wisdom and power innate in every woman, read on!

SENSUAL EMBODIED DANCE FACILITATOR TRAINING 2021! 

.

This six month online training, accessible worldwide, includes two streams. 

.

The first is filled with an unique library of exceptional embodiment practices that I’ve extensively road tested and refined to be super effective, my signature devotional erotic dance sequences, and the proven Sensual Embodied Dance methodology that creates powerful framework for transformation (I’ve been using it for 10+ years!). 

.

The second stream will teach you exactly how to be an excellent facilitator. The facilitation skills component will walk you through the required inner and outer conduct of a great facilitator, trauma informed practice, common pitfalls and misconceptions, and the neuroscience of transformation - so you'll have the clarity to see and feel exactly what's going on in a room and how to navigate a group and individuals towards what's needed in any given moment. 

.

Put your name on the waitlist to be the first to know all the details - www.shivashaktidance.com/facilitator-training
- Limited places available. 
- Applications and enrolment opens 17th December 2020.
