Twerk is a type of dance that emerged out of the 90’s bounce music scene of New Orleans. It has a broader origin among other types of booty dancing found among the African diaspora.
From a yogic perspective, this type of movement is very powerful for balancing the lower chakras, which are associated with grounding, inner safety, creativity, sensuality, and personal power.
Science also tells us that shaking is a potent tool for releasing stored tension, stimulating immune function, and moving lactic acid out of muscles.
Most importantly, this class provides a safe, supportive space to shake your body, make some noise, free your cheeks, and have a lot of fun.
This beginner friendly class focuses more on technique than choreography, and is a full body and cardio workout. We will be barefoot & moving across the floor, like a dance class. Knee pads are strongly recommended, but you can can also use a folded yoga mat for knee protection.
