Ecstatic Dance at Samyama

Every Wednesday evening, the Nataraja Shala at Samyama becomes a space for movement, expression and connection through Ecstatic Dance.

This is not a dance class and there are no steps to learn. Instead, participants are invited to explore movement in their own way, responding to music, energy and the experience of being fully present in the body.

For some, Ecstatic Dance offers freedom, creativity and joy. For others, it becomes a way to release stress, reconnect with themselves, or simply enjoy moving within a supportive community. Each evening unfolds differently, shaped by the music, the atmosphere and the people who gather.

Set within the peaceful surroundings of Samyama near Ubud, the Nataraja Shala provides a beautiful setting for movement and self-expression. Surrounded by nature and held within a conscious community, participants are invited into a more embodied relationship with themselves and the present moment.

Whether you are completely new to Ecstatic Dance or have years of experience, you are welcome exactly as you are.

Dance beneath the stars, sit by the fire, wander barefoot through the gardens, or simply be held by the music and the space.
