Experience the joy, connection and myriad health benefits of hand drumming facilitated by Alexandra. You will learn how to use mindful hand drumming as a tool to reduce anxiety, improve mood and quiet the busy “monkey mind”. You will also learn proper body positioning, basic hand drumming technique, universal rhythms and beginner African/Latin rhythms. Together, we'll practice connecting to the beat of the drum in a safe, warm and inclusive environment. At Rhythm Bliss, we incorporate breath exercises, body awareness and connection to the pulse (Breath, Body and Beat) to maximize the benefits of hand drumming. Yoga philosophy and Pilates fundamentals are infused throughout the session and everyone is encouraged to participate in a way that feels best for them. This course is perfect for absolute beginners, those relatively new to drumming or anyone who likes to groove to a simple repetitive healing pulse.
PAYMENT can be made via online banking e-transfer to support@rhythmbliss.com (No password is required. Please specify in the message field that you are signing up for Saturday afternoon, so we can reserve your spot) or you can pay by credit card/PayPal using the button below:
