posted in: KISIMA

 

Manka is a Yogi turned Life Coach, trained in Integrated Coaching from South Africa. She brings a unique and embodied approach to mental health, combining somatic, breathwork and mindfulness practices to provide a safe release for emotions and stress stored in the body. At Kisima, she will be doing workshops on Pranayama (breathwork), Yoga Nidra (meditation) and also offering private coaching sessions.

 

Manka’s Kisima Oferings:

Yoga Nidra

Yoga Nidra, translated as Yogic Sleep, is a sweet spot, between being awake and deep rest. 1 hour of Yogic sleep is equivalent to 4 hours of regular sleep. The perfect hangover cure! This guided meditation is like a deep tissue massage of the mind without any touch or movement.  Regular practice regenerates the body, brings mental clarity and helps improve sleep quality.  Please bring your own yoga mat!

Where: The Stage on Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st October.

 

Conscious Dance

Conscious Dance is a way to experience the realm of the dance floor like never before. The group is initiated into the space collectively, creating an intentional space of freedom and respect for all. It challenges the unconscious aspects of dance floor culture and gives you the tools to work through self-conscious or distracting behaviour patterns. Conscious dance welcomes you to enter into the boundless world of dance in full presence.

A carefully designed playlist takes you on a progressively rhythmic journey which evokes collective and individual energetic shifts. This is a sober dance experience which leaves you buzzing on your own limitless life-force.

Where: Baraza Hub on Friday 22nd October.
