Cincy Ecstatic Dance Flow at Cincinnati Yoga School – Cincinnati, OH

.

Overview:

Join us every Friday from 8-10 pm at the Cincinnati Yoga School’s Lotus Yoga Temple for an ecstatic dance experience! The journey begins with an opening ceremony, followed by high-vibrational dance music of various genres, and ending with a relaxing sound bath session with a Reiki sweep and community closing circle. Arrive 30 minutes early and/or stay 30 minutes late to mingle with the community. We also have a local vendor, Sacred Serenity Healer, selling her beautiful homemade products every week.

Admission:

Adult admission is $15 online and $20 at the door (cash, Venmo, CashApp, Paypal, Zelle, Apple Pay, and card are all accepted). Admission for children (6-15) is $10 at the door (ONLY ON FIRST FRIDAYS). Buy a gift voucher for someone else here.

Who Can Join:

All backgrounds and dance levels are welcome. Unfortunately, there are many stairs to get into the space, but it is accommodating otherwise! The age restriction is 6+ on 1st Fridays and 16+ on other Fridays.

What to Expect (see the agenda below for an overview of the experience):

• A Safe Container: Step (barefoot) into a substance-free, sacred temple with no talking, no technology, and no judgment, but a lot of respect and consent.
• A Workout: Stretch and warm up at your own pace. Loosen your joints. Enjoy a safe and fun workout that improves flexibility, endurance, strength, and coordination.
• A Meditative Practice: Connect with the present moment and release external stressors. Through somatic movement, your body shifts out of stress mode and enters a meditative state of flow.
• Emotional Healing: Experience pure joy, liberation, and freedom, while allowing your body to naturally release whatever no longer serves you—stress, tension, old emotions, or stagnant energy—leaving you lighter
• Unlock Creativity: Awaken new ideas, receive valuable insights and inspiration, break through creative blocks, and explore new ways of expressing yourself.
• Confidence Boost: Quiet the inner critic, move beyond fear of external judgement, and grow your self-confidence as you dance without inhibition.
• Community Bonding: Meet new, like-minded people and connect in a more intimate and meaningful way with others.
