Contact Improv: Lauren Tierra
Lauren’s practice and teaching of contact improvisation is rooted in a lifelong passion for expressive movement. She started as a young child dancing around to the sounds of her Dad’s record collection, then moved on to acrobatics, jazz dance, and musicals. In the early 2000’s she discovered her love of contemporary dance and contact improvisation while studying, performing, and receiving her BA degree at the University of California, San Diego. She has since expanded her practice of dance performance, choreography, and contact improvisation with many renowned teachers and choreographers in the San Francisco Bay Area and Europe, including graduate studies at the School for New Dance Development (SNDO) in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Lauren’s CI teaching draws upon various somatic movement practices such as release technique, axis syllabus, qigong, and her over two decades as a yoga practitioner and teacher. Other spheres of influence include many years of experience with meditation, bodywork, energy work, music & vocal embodiment, Taoist practices/ five element theory, and Ayurveda.

Lauren is lit up by guiding herself and others into non-judgmental presence, authentic expression, embodied connection, and holistic well-being. She is especially enamored with contact improvisation for it’s ability to cultivate the spirit of curiosity and play, while also being a transformational healing practice that can expand our awareness, and connection to self and others, in multifaceted and meaningful ways.

Yoga: Satya Gita
Satya Gita is a long-time, devoted practitioner and teacher of yoga. In her more than 20 years of practice, she has studied many forms of yoga, including Jivamukti, Integral, Ashtanga, Standing Wave Yoga, Forrest, and Anusara.

Born in Oslo and raised in Trondheim Norway, she studied dance at The London Contemporary Dance School and on Africa’s Ivory Coast before moving to New York to study and teach at Jivamukti. She was also certified at the Integral Yoga Institute and studied Standing Wave.

Satya then created and implemented a yoga program for Harbin Hot Springs, an internationally known retreat center in California. During this time, she founded her own teaching style called Anahatha Yoga, which utilizes physical postures and alignment to open energetic dimensions and pathways in the body.

Preparing the body in this way opens the student’s awareness to more subtle dimensions of Being in an embodied way. She has been teaching and developing this form for 18 years, as well as training and certifying others in the approach. She continues to offer classes and workshops using Anahatha yoga to help students deepen in themselves.

Food Service: Sacred Decadence (Leela Maya)
Leela started her journey as a raw vegan dessert chef in 2007 during the early days of Cafe Gratitude where it first began in San Francisco and Marin County.

Since then she has been a chef and product developer for local healthy food companies like Urban Remedy and Good Earth.
She is wholeheartedly happy to serve the Bay Area Dance Community in nourishing connection from within.
When she is not playing with her food, Leela teaches Play based Authentic Relating & Connection Classes, Full & New Moon Circles for Womyn+, & Cacao Ceremony Soundbaths. She believes that love, joy, connection, and play are key ingredients to a healthy happy life. Blessed Be and Bon Appétit!

Ecstatic Dance San Francisco
Sunday March 10th - DJ: AHUREIA (Germany)
Contact Improv: Tyler Blank
Opening Circle & Meditation: Tyler Blank

DJ: AHUREIA - Cosmic DJane, Sacred Spaceholder and Holistic Coach.
Her heart beats for creating sacred spaces where every moment is a unique and unforgettable gift and a tribute to life itself. The essence of her medicine inspires people to trustfully and openly surrender to the multidimensional mystery of the visible & invisible and to experience themselves in the mirror of life. "Making Music is like making Love. A Prayer to Life.“

AHUREIA about her being as a Cosmic DJane ...
Making music is like making love. A prayer to life. To be in the present moment. Getting out of the mind and into the body. Transforming feelings and emotions. Breathing. Being rooted and flying at the same time. Sensitive, sexy, grounded, flowing, powerful, playful, fun, humorous, quiet, simply different and unique. Connect with your essence - your true self. You are satisfied, exhausted, fulfilled at the same time. Be blissful !

Ecstatic Dance
"Making Music is like making Love. A Prayer to Life."
Let's go on a musical journey together, deep into our soul and consciousness, deep inside, where feelings and pure being lie hidden. Breathe and feel how our bodies and spirits unite and dance in ecstasy.
The unique energy of the sounds is based on Organic Tribal, Ethno, Electronic and Medicine Music and invites you to free yourself from the carousel of thoughts, to open your heart and to let go of time & space.
Let's celebrate life and feel the joy pulsating in us down to the smallest cell of the body,
Let us celebrate our spiritual connection to nature and all that is.
Let us dive together into a world where everything is allowed to be there - shadow and light - anger, sadness, fear, joy, love and bliss.
Let us feel what it means to BE fully alive in the present moment.

Contact Improv: Tyler Blank
