In recent years, the practice of yoga has been blended with other forms of movement and performance in a variety of ways, and has taken on many different faces. Yoga Dance, or Yoga Dance, is a new practice born out of the flow of yoga in this context. The main training method of Flow Yoga comes from the series, which is carried out in an uninterrupted way, focusing on muscular endurance training, as well as the control and balance of the core of the body. In addition, the uninterrupted and successive movements keep the body in a warm state, and at the same time train the flexibility of the body. Flow Yoga is usually practiced with music, so if you choose popular music and link it with some basic dance movements, it will become a yoga dance with strong performances, which can heal yourself as well as others. We are pleased to invite Ms. Shany, the executive director of Norma Yoga and also the director of Ovation Music and Arts World, to demonstrate how to develop your own yoga dance from a popular song, and Ms. Shany said that this demonstration is aimed at people who work after a busy day, and then return home to freely stretch their limbs, and dance to music to achieve the effect of healing the body and soul. The dance is a great way to heal the body and soul. With the practitioner's current mood and choice of music, there are different versions of movements and sequences, so I suggest that you find more music to go with it, as it will have a different effect.
Ms. Shany will demonstrate the Dance Yoga that has evolved from Flow Yoga.
