Vitality Regulation through Biodanza

What is Biodanza?
Biodanza is a class in which we move through guided dances with the focus on the enjoyment of being in the present moment. Rolando Toro, an anthropologist and psychologist in Chile, developed Biodanza. He was interested in discovering how we bring more balanced vitality into our life. A class includes high-energy exercises and opportunities to relax deeply.
Tell us more...
Biodanza understands vitality as the sensation of feeling alive and includes the ability to regulate our energy levels. When we feel vital we are connected in a healthy way to our own body and our environment. With this sense of "aliveness" we have an impetus to engage fully with life, we feel enthusiasm and joy. When the body is in a vital state of being the body functions well and we are in a state of health, we also have the possibility of feeling great!

How does Biodanza regulate vitality?
In Biodanza we speak about being in "feedback" with our body. Being in feedback means becoming aware of how we feel in any moment, and responding practically and with care to our own needs. In this way we are able to learn to rest when needed, rather than to push ourselves towards "burn out". When we learn to rest in life, we naturally take care of replenishing our own energy.

How can we achieve this?
There are particular exercises in Biodanza that help us to regulate our own energy. For example, we use music with strong rhythm, and adjust the volume during the dance. We invite participants to continually dance, and keep connection the rhythm, whilst riding the waves of intensity; expressing more or less energy in feedback with the volume and their body's natural vitality. We are practising relaxing, without collapsing! The benefits of this impact into our life as we learn to listen to the needs of our body and rest when necessary in order to nourish and nurture ourselves.
