Created & Developed by Gabrielle Casella (a.k.a. PlumDragoness), Yo-Fu™ is a method of approaching movement meditation that promotes internalizing dance-yogic persuasions with artistic martial motion. It offers an innovative fusion of healing & performing arts forms from diverse cultural disciplines.

Be encouraged in this workshop to find your groove by embodying spiritual movement through liquefied flows, freezes, floor-work patterns, Old-school hip-hop & traditional tribal folk stomp explorations. Emphasis is placed on synchronizing breath with the practices of finding stillness in meditation, flowing thru performing choreographic movement investigations and listening to the inner beat of variety of world-music sound-scape infused inspirations. Participants may take this opportunity to identify the common threads woven throughout the fabric of different healing movements & therapeutic dance forms, thus allowing them to explore original choreography that has a unique flavor, while practicing the art of being fully engaged in ones physical, mental & spiritual being. Exercises can be modified to fit the individual person’s level of flexibility while suited for beginners or experienced yoga practitioners & all lovers of dance at any stage.
