The Philippines’ first-ever Yoga Trance Dance™ workshop will be hosted by Yoga Manila and led by Teresa Herrera, an actor/yoga teacher based in Venice, California, on Thursday, December 7, 7:00 pm, at the penthouse of Century Plaza, 120 Perea Street, Legaspi Village, Makati City.

Seventy percent of all proceeds from Trance Dance with Ter will be donated to Trees for the Future, an organization that spearheads many tree-planting projects in the Philippines and throughout the world.

Trance Dance is an exploration of movement through yoga, dance, and music, which encourages self-expression and -discovery by tapping into one’s life force, or prana.
“In most dance forms, the spirit is in service of the form,” Teresa explains, “in Yoga Trance Dance, form is in service of the spirit.” This free form of yoga was developed by the world-renowned yoga teacher Shiva Rea, under whom Teresa has undergone Yoga Trance Dance teacher training.

Teresa, who is an active supporter of Trees of the Future(www.treesftf.org), has in fact been practicing with Shiva Rea since 1996. “Shiva is such an amazing soul,” Teresa says. “She has been one of the most influential mentors I’ve had and I feel blessed to have her as a friend.”

“Trance Dance was a way for me to come back ‘home’ to myself,” says Teresa, who grew up dancing. “Through Yoga Trance Dance, I hope to ignite the fire within everyone, so that they may awaken to their ‘Dance of Life.’

The workshop fee is P700 per person. Reservations are required, as space is limited.
