We are Dancing into Self Love at this dynamic and intentional ceremonial event to give us an evening of movement, music, meditation, self-care, connection, and beautiful take-home creations! Join Lala at this special event (exclusive to females) this Valentine’s Day weekend, and please come dressed in an outfit that makes you feel your best! 

 

Lala will provide a delicious treat of strawberries, raspberries, oranges, and dark chocolate, as well as a healthy non-alcoholic “mocktail”. 

You will also go home with a sweet Self Love gift bag full of fun surprises to extend into and further inspire your Self-Love Journey beyond the ceremony.

 

This 3-hour class will feature the following: 

 

Make your own take-home Self Love Flower Arrangement: 

• Lala will provide an array of flowers to choose from, as well as vases, twine/cord, tags, and markers, so you can create your own special flower display to place wherever feels good to you in your home. You will be encouraged to use the tags to tie self-loving words of your choosing around your vase as a remembrance/affirmation of your commitment to blossoming into a journey of Self Love.

Meditation/Conversation: 

• As a community, we will explore different aspects/concepts/questions related to Self Love using a handout Lala creates. We will break off into rotating pairs for a couple minutes at a time to discuss each topic and write some answers/ideas. Next, we will come back together to discuss our feelings/findings as a whole group.
• Lala will then share her own message about Self Love to inspire anyone who resonates with it.

Music: 

• Lala will provide an array of percussion instruments for any who would like to join in the instrumentation of this experience, and will guide guests through singing a mantra she creates to evoke a strong Heart-centered devotion to the Self Love Journey.

Releasing Ceremony: 

• Guests will be guided through a Releasing Ceremony to let go of limiting beliefs, negative self-criticism and judgmental feelings, and to invite in more of their own Authentic Light to accept and honor the Grace of Self Love.

Self-Care: 

<ul> <li>Guests will experience a variety of activities - individually, in pairs, and in a group - to practice and enjoy some self-loving methods of self care. These will include: </li> <ul> <li>Back Massage Circle (as a group, we will form a circle so everyone is giving a massage and everyone is receiving a massage.) </li> <li>Checking in with a body scan and self-massage any areas that feel tense</li> <li>Partner Stretching - Lala will share some safe and simple ways we can support each other in stretching our bodies prior to entering the movement activities/Ecstatic Dance.</li> <li>Partner hand massages (indulge in receiving this feel-good experience, and delight in giving it to another! Lotion will be provided and a demonstration will be given.)</li> </ul> <li>If at any time, you would not like to participate in an activity for any reason, you are welcome to just watch and no explanation will be needed. It is all about your comfort level. :)</li> </ul>

Movement: 

• Lala will demonstrate some ways to get in tune with your Shakti energy - your sensual self-loving flow - and we will practice these movements together before transitioning into a free-flow Ecstatic Dance where you are then welcome to incorporate them at your own will.
• We will then move into the Ecstatic Dance, and Lala will have a specially curated playlist to get our bodies flowing like fire and water as we learn to use the dance as a medium of expression for Self Love.
• Lala will also demonstrate a form of dance called “Mirror Dancing” which you will be encouraged to try - a fun and beautiful way to connect with another dancer in mirroring their movements (and vice versa) from a safe distance. 

Heart Centered Meditation: 

• After settling our Bliss Bodies from the Ecstatic Dance, Lala will lead us through an intuitively guided Heart-Centered Meditation before finishing the evening by opening the floor for any reflections.

We look forward to serving you toward your Self Love Journey this Valentine’s Day Weekend at Inner Bliss, Schenectady!
