Dirish Shaktidas/Shakti Dance
Rich Risings!
I’m Dirish Shaktidas, a London-based teacher, the founder of Euphoria Somatic Dance™, and the founding director of The Ministry of Dance & Movement Academy (MDMA). I’ve been teaching yoga, dance, and energy healing for over 15 years and have led global retreats. My approach is all about movement, mindfulness, and connection to the body, which I believe holds the key to unlocking our true potential.
The proposed title for my class is “Shake Your Shakti: Dance, Drop, and Devote.” This class invites participants to release their emotions through movement, using their bodies as a sacred tool for self-expression and healing. It’s all about tapping into your Shakti energy — that powerful, creative force within us all — to move, dance, and awaken your truest self.
This session blends somatic dance, chakra work, and energy healing to guide individuals on a transformative journey of emotional release, joy, and balance. Whether you're new to dance or a seasoned pro, this experience is all about creating a safe, empowering space for deep emotional release, spiritual connection, and playful creative expression.
Looking forward to sharing this experience!
With Gratitude, Light & Bliss
