Welcome to the Spine Spa hosted by Kari Luna every 1st Sunday of the month! This workshop is a luxurious fusion of yoga, dance, and somatic movement education that lures your spine and joints into spiraling, undulating, rhythmic expression - leaving you feeling restored, embodied, and creatively alive.
The invitation is for you to spend time with your body, discovering yourself through the language of sensation and movement. Through joint and spine mobility work, functional strength, conditioning, and creative play, we build the technique that gives us a language to express ourselves through movement, and the embodiment that gives that language soul.
Spine Spa is devoted to the spine and joints because across ancient traditions and somatic developmental psychology, the spine is understood as our center, our central living axis of selfhood, integrity, and spiraling life force. And when we make embodied contact with our center, we touch the source of authentic creativity.
This all-levels workshop welcomes dancers, yogis, artists, and anyone new to movement who is curious about exploring body-based traditions of creative expression.
We ebb and flow between guided structured movement pathways and freeform, spontaneous improvisation.
Rooted in Karina’s work as a registered dance/movement therapist, yoga instructor, and years as a belly dancer and performance artist, this practice holds both the rigor of technique and the wildness of embodied expression.
And because every spa day needs its moment of deep rest, we close with a restorative sound bath - an invitation for your body to receive, integrate, and rest in all that moved through it!
Bring a yoga mat and come ready to indulge your body and mind.
Pre & Post class mimosas, cocktails, and mocktails available and encouraged as Sundays are BOGO mimosas & screwdrivers!
Class begins before the shop is open so please arrive 10-15 minutes before to get settled and arranged. Class ends right as Drifters opens its doors to the public. You’ll have first dibs for mimosas and rhythmic post class dancing!
