  • Judas Saint James- Harnessing Your Inner Feline - 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM

    This class is about how to approach movement through your own personal feline energy. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about some of the mythical origins of feline deities in Africa and Egypt with a special focus on Bastet. Bastet is a Kemetic (Egyptian) goddess of cats, sensuality, pleasure, dance and healing. Many of these things fall under movement and performance art. Understanding her energy and how we can tap into it as people and performers will be at the core of this class. This class is about embracing and validating individuality and inner confidence and then applying it through slow burn movements and audience interaction. While movement will be part of this class, Harnessing Your Inner Feline focuses on looking inward and exploring your own energetics around eroticism and sensuality.
