Section 1
Inner Realms
of the Yogini Temple Dancer
This course is meticulously designed to provide you a strong foundation of understanding and internal development to optimize your experience and practice in the Odissi Indian Classical Dance Choreography included here.
I am using the term “Yogini Temple Dancer” due to my theory and practice that the fully embodied and accomplished Temple Dancer must first embody and excel as Yogini.
Learn for yourself what this means and how these rare insights, disciplines, and tools cultivate your being into your authentic beauty, power, wisdom, and service.

Section 2
Odissi Indian Classical Dance ~ Choreography
Merging Sacred Feminine Traditions from India & Tibet
I have constructed a choreography that symbolizes and merges the Yogini Tradition from India and the Dakini Tradition from Tibet. These ancient Feminine Archetypes are amongst the most powerful, expressive, and sensual Goddesses. Their duties are similar: dissolving illusions, representing our fully awakened state, and offering boundless compassion for all beings.
Odissi originated in one of India’s epicenters for Yoginis and Temple Dance, so Odissi is deeply rooted in Yogic Tradition. Classes focus on these principles of physical and energetic alignment, breath, sharpening our mental capacity, and other elements at the foundation of this dance.
Each class includes yoga, dance conditioning, and multi-level Odissi practices including mudra (hand gestures) and padha (language of the feet). When appropriate, there is discussion on the Herstory of Temple Dance and Yoginis.
Classes give you the dynamic and diverse foundational elements to enable you to blossom through your being with this empowering discipline of body-mind-energy synergy.
Be ready to move & activate your Shakti!
Dancer Testimonials
"This is everything I’ve been searching for in a dance program.
It's so rich on every level. These teachings are what have been missing in my dance experience.
The dance is fun and challenging for any dance level, the exercises are powerful, and we get to nerd out on temple dance history!
I’m in awe of your dedication, devotion and knowledge.
I can’t wait to get up in the morning to start my practice. Thank you!"
