Chakradance
Dance yourself to life with the release of
the first ever CHAKRADANCE™ CD!
After seven years of development, of the world's
first CHAKRADANCE™ CD, on the new independent Australian
label Daily Tonic.
Created by Sydney-born Natalie Southgate, 36, CHAKRADANCE™ has been hailed as "the
next Pilates". It is a complete workout for body, mind and spirit in which freeform
dance is stimulated by music structured to resonate with each in turn of the
seven major chakras, or energy centres, that regulate the various layers of the
human aura. "The aim", says Southgate, "is to tune and balance the whole self,
producing that wonderful state of calm vitality known as well being".
The CHAKRADANCE™ holistic exercise program is a journey into Self using creative
visualisation, music and dance where the focus is on personal experience rather
than performance. Drawing on a fusion of philosophies and musical styles, spontaneous
dance is used to balance the chakras. Our chakras are energy centres. Every human
has 7 major chakras and many hundreds of minor ones, all spinning like invisible
wheels and vibrating to specific frequencies. Guided by music resonating to each
of the 7 major chakras in turn, participants are taken on a dynamic dance journey
through their own energy centres. No dance experience, or prior knowledge of
chakras is necessary.
An immediate hit in London when Natalie first launched it in 1998, Chakradance
has been taking Australia by storm since she brought it back home in 2001. There
are now over a dozen fully trained and accredited CHAKRADANCE™ teachers leading
classes in all major cities in Australia, as well as in Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur
and Amsterdam.
In Chakradance, matching the music to the chakras is absolutely essential, and
it has been a seven-year labour of love for Natalie to track down the right music.
This year she teamed up with Leigh Wood, the DJ and founder-producer of One World
Music, who was in the process of setting up his new Daily Tonic label.
"CHAKRADANCE™ is an original idea, useful for anyone looking to improve their
well-being, says Wood, "and I was really excited by the challenge of helping
Natalie to source the perfect tracks for the first ever CHAKRADANCE™ album".
RRP $29.95
