Soma Mystics
A body practice with mystic music

We are especially honoured to welcome Εκ βαθέων – De profundis for the second time to Neda Yoga Shala. On Sunday, February 10, at 19:00, Afroditi Verrou and 3 of the most acclaimed musicians of their kind (Loukas Metaxas, Kiriakos Tapakis and Nikos Paraoulakis) will guide us through a wonderful internal journey, using movement and music as their tools.

Soma Mystics is an alternative exercise system designed to unite physical and mental exercise with music, inspired by the texts of ancient Sophists and Sufi teachings.
It is a program with physical exercises, meditation stances and practices of external-internal senses, combined with “mystic” music for the inner evolution and development of our consciousness.
The body can be an ephemeral “vehicle” of our existence, but not an unimportant three-dimensional reflection of it. Appropriate body and external sensory practice is reflected throughout our existence – from bottom to top – as an excellent basis for any system that aims to increase inner consciousness.
The lesson leads Aphrodite Verrou. The participation of the musical trio “ek vatheon” (from whithin), Loukas Metaxas in percussion, Kyriakos Tapakis in oud and Nikos Paroulakis in ney, is not a “musical accompaniment”, but through the repertoire of “modal music”, their rhythmic motifs and their improvisations , transforms exercise into psycho-physical training.

Date: Sunday, 10 February 19:00 – 21:00

Reservation is required.
