The spirituality is lightly dosed, there are no incense, no prayers, no mattresses are used, the exercises are performed to music and rhythm, the classes end with meditation and breathing exercises

If you want to dance, but none of the well-known styles suit you, try yoga dance or movement art - and watch how your body becomes self-aware!

Your body is awakening to self-awareness

Don't expect a sweaty T-shirt, but you will definitely get tired. Spirituality is lightly dosed, there are no incense, no prayers, but no mechanical music either. What we have: good company, immersion, development of body awareness and concentration skills, breathing exercises, music, rhythms and, of course, dance. Just not in a style that we call traditional.

In our previous article, we encouraged move-dance and introduced the art of movement. Now let's come to another, lesser-known form of movement…

Eastern way of thinking and art

Active as a performer, choreographer, and instructor, Ádám Zambrzycki got to know yoga during a recreation following an injury on stage, which he then connected with contemporary dance. Well, how does the Eastern way of thinking and art mix?

Although we know precisely and perform precisely the movements of each dance, we no longer know why we have been moving this way for centuries. This is one of the reasons why the innovative efforts turned to Eastern movement systems (such as yoga). And the characteristic of yoga is that it mostly concentrates on the end positions, only a little on the movement leading up to it and on the use of space. Ádám tries to fill these two "deficiencies".

Asanas and dance moves

He borrows spirituality, awareness and asanas from yoga, while complex coordinated movements from contemporary dance, creating his individual style, which he teaches today under the name of yoga dance, the only one in Hungary!

Unique instructor in three locations

The classes are mostly attended by ordinary people who want to exercise, enthusiastic amateurs (no prior training required!), women and men, but professional dancers and fitness trainers are also sometimes present. Unlike "plain" yoga classes, no mats are used, during the 90-120 minutes some exercises are performed to music and rhythm, the classes end with meditation and breathing exercises.

Be prepared with loose clothing: trousers that do not hinder movement, a (long-sleeved) T-shirt and, if you are cold with bare feet, socks.

Ádám in the capital, he holds classes in three places, the price of the sessions: HUF 1000-1900. You can read more about the dates and locations here.

You won't slip away

– The purpose of yoga dance is to develop body awareness and, through this, to get to know ourselves more deeply. Spatial perception, sense of balance, coordination skills develop, joint freedom and safety of movement also increase. People who exercise regularly, and because of this, their body and nervous system are in good condition, are less likely to slip and break themselves. Yoga dance helps us regain our balance more easily if we stumble, or if we fall, we are able to control it, thus avoiding a serious accident. It also has mental benefits: it helps with concentration disorders, is an effective stress reliever, and improves general well-being.
