INSPIRE Heal your Body, Mind & Spirit with Chakradance
brings us cold winter temperatures, and the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is upon us. Too often we get caught up in all that we need to do, and have difficul-
W
ties balancing all of our responsibilities and priorities. Relaxing and being mindful of ourselves becomes a lower priority, and we then experience stress which can ultimately lead to depression.
Chakradance is a Natural Remedy!
There is no better time than now to treat yourself to (or give the gift of) a Chakradance class, and allow yourself to heal within so that the everyday stresses don’t consume you. Come alone for an individual experience or bring a friend. Get a group together and make it a night out. You won’t regret this amazing healing experi- ence.
What is Chakradance? It’s been called “the sister of yoga”. It’s been called “spiritual
Zumba”. It was a big hit at the Deepak Chopra Center in California. And it’s now here in Manchester, CT. It is the new holistic work-out that is poised to take the USA by storm. Chakradance classes involve spontaneous dance to music specially designed to resonate with each in turn of our major

chakras, or energy centers. Claim- ing to be more than just a new kind of exercise regime, and more than just another new-age health fad, Chakradance is a complete work-out for body, mind and spirit. It aims to relieve the stresses of modern-day living, restoring the
whole Self to a state of calm vitality.
How did Chakradance begin? Chakradance was founded in London in 1998 by Sydney-born Natalie Southgate, who combined her training and expertise in dance, in psychology, and in chakra healing, to create this new fu- sion of ancient wisdoms. Natalie had always been drawn to the power of chakras through
her work as a trained healer. She also studied Jungian psychology. She continued to let her interest guide her and in the process she rediscovered her joy in dance. This led her to connect to alternative and shamanic dance. Ultimately, she headed to Paris from London to take a course in spontaneous dance therapy. All the elements of Natalie’s homecoming were starting to coalesce – the study of the chakras, the interconnections between mind, body and spirit, and the various effects of music and dance. Then, one night she turned off the light in her living room. Music filled the darkness and her movements started to guide her into the inner power ignited within her chakras. She began to notice certain music carried a unique resonance with different chakra centres. Free flowing movements born in spontaneity brought her home into her inner dance of her true self. This experience led Natalie into the realisation that a per- son can find another way to enter a deeper relationship with the chakras. She had already begun co-teaching a beginners’ healing workshop on the chakras, but she felt she had discovered a method to experience what can’t be taught, and this experience could be felt by anyone.
