Yoga introduced the idea of working out more than just our muscles, now meet CHAKRADANCE™, another way to exercise and also gain benefits for the mind and spirit. This newly developed form of exercise involves spontaneous dance and movement that is chosen for its vibrational frequency. Taught in a nine-week cycle, classes work to clear energetic blockages in the seven energy centres, or ‘chakras’, that are aligned along the spine.

Energy Boost

Indian tradition states that the human body has seven chakras, and that keeping them balanced promotes wellbeing. In a modern twist, the world’s first CHAKRADANCE™ CD (devised by Sydney-born dance teacher Natalie Southgate, 36) encourages people to harmonise their chakras through improvised movement. A quick listen to the seven fast-paced tracks (one for each chakra) left me feeling motivated.

Club Chakra

A new form of holistic dance workshop created by Australian dancer Natalie Southgate means you can get down and get healthy. Chakradance has been described as the ‘sister to yoga’ and, as well as being a lot of fun, the three hours of vigorous movement is a great workout. Classes are lit by candles, incense is burned and the music is beautiful, so it really feels like a sacred space, and there’s plenty of time for meditation. The classes are all about free expression, so you don’t have to learn any steps – just surrender to the sound. Each workshop focuses on the frequency of one of the body’s seven chakras, which are believed to be the gateways to integrating mind, body and soul. For more info about workshops, which cost around $50, visit www. chakradance.com.
