HerStory

---

 Vai’datha is Sanskrit meaning “many paths”. Healing can be viewed as an inner journey toward awareness and growth that encourages the person to view challenged and circumstances differently. Through dance, rhythm, art, play, the relationship with animals and nature, one can connect to the sacred source within-The authentic voice.

The Glitter Rebels Yoga  practice is and Alchemy of Elemental Flow and Playful Spirit. This style is a journey through the sacred elements, mirroring our multifaceted power of play, beauty and strength!

Glitter Rebels Yoga is the  Elemental Alchemy that  honors herstory by weaving traditional yoga asanas with the expressive grace of sacred temple dance and the focused intention of martial arts. This unique blend allows for the embodiment of alchemy as spiritual power, transforming movement into a sacred expression of the self. Here, we come together to rise, heal, and express our raw spirit, wild heart and rebel soul.

“ci balli da sulu nu te puei curare” (if you dance alone you cannot heal.)  My passion extends beyond personal healing to the vibrant expression of Dance Alchemy. This practice, deeply rooted in the celebration of my Gypsy and medicine woman (Italian Witch) heritage, a testament to the power of my heritage and my ancestors to connect me to my divine essence. My teaching style, reflecting my Slovak and Italian Rom heritage,  my Congolese dance masters and my soul-bond to the ancient tribal dances of the Silk Road, invites you to experience the transformative power of dance. During the COVID shut down there was this beautiful and haunting video of a woman dancing in a piazza in Italy – My soul soared back in time where I returned to my roots and danced with my ancestors. (You can see the beautiful shot here: https://youtu.be/k3e5IcAjrdA?si=MipzM_k4FxMx0ik6 and the full video from the balcony here: https://youtu.be/FDzPQuTRnVk?si=NhrUpzf2c0qXAJZw. I was raised on this dance. A true example on how the witches spirit of my ancestors who were medicine women of their villages survived as a tradition across the sea. The beautiful version of “Taranta” is by Canzoniere Grecanico Salentino.  You can see the beautiful and powerful  music video here

A translation of some of the lyrics:

…People knew how you had to cure yourself.  If your illness was called taranta.

… who brings me the water to cure?

…if it’s taranta don’t let me down.

…if you dance alone you cannot heal

My spirit was ignited and my soul danced the dance I learned from my grandfather’s and father’s feet.  See that is also part of the dance alchemy.  It is not only the women that carried the tradition in their womb, the men carried their tradition through their feet.  This the reason I was taught that my soul is in my feet. That is the reason for the sole of the foot. 

My Gypsy heritage breathes in the essence of the spirit, storytelling traditions, celebration of individuality, and a deep connection to nature. Like intricate fabrics woven together to create a tapestry that is unique, strong and will stand the test of time, the alchemy of my heritage is entwined with the dances of the ancient silk road to breathe life into Herstory.

The Sisters of the Silk Road Experience

Style honors the movement of my heritage and my experiences that honor various martial arts senseis, dance teachers, mentors and Congolese and African dance masters.  The technique is based on authentic movement, making the flow of the dance organic and ethnic to Slovak and Italian regions, fused with various influences from around the world. Classes are structured to unite and ground us to our core. This involves a series of yoga poses for Indian Temple Dancers, both standing and sitting, to prepare and ground the body, shape and strengthen it, and increase awareness. After careful stretching, basic moves are taught using upbeat and exciting choreography. We move through a series of drills to embody movement patterns into the nervous system, providing a vocabulary that encompasses an alchemy of Dance. Drills vary slightly from class to class to cover the basic moves, and selected steps are practiced in each series. The class ends with slower movement to ignite the mind-body-spirit connection.

 There is a powerful relationship between your thoughts and your self-image. Your inner dialogue profoundly shapes what you see in the mirror and how you present yourself to the world. Through guided practices of yoga, dance, sound, and skincare routines, we'll work on transforming negative self-talk into a compassionate inner voice.

These sessions are designed to empower you to dust off the mirror to your soul, allowing you to meet your sacred self-reflection with compassion, honor, and regard. Our focus isn't just on external appearances, but on the profound beauty and strength that come from a nurtured mind, body, and spirit.
