The 7 core elements
In the regular classes, the body becomes the gateway to exploring and experiencing the 7 core elements through movement.
No dance experience is required, and there are no expectations to meet. All you need is your body, your presence, and a willingness to discover, transform, and create.
These sessions are an invitation to explore new possibilities for expression, connection, and growth through listening to yourself, your body, and your own rhythm.
The 7 pillars are the foundations from which Haragati takes shape.
I have created these bases in order to integrate the different body movement disciplines – danses colombiennes, l’acroyoga, l’ expresion corporelle and others– that I have had the opportunity to explore and that have awakened a deep interest in me. Thanks to these techniques, I have been able to develop this project and take the elements that have impacted me the most and inspired me from each one in order to share them.

Physical conditioning
The body as a living territory, in relation to the environment, history, and individual and collective experience. It needs to be present, strong, and flexible. Physical conditioning will give you these tools and more, allowing you to transform and take action. An uninhabited or neglected body will drift aimlessly; on the contrary, a trained body can be imagined as a great muscle that supports the entire rest of the process…
Exploration
Exploration as a fundamental basis of any process: without it, there is no possibility of error, and without error, there is no learning. Allowing ourselves to take different paths, to explore other spaces. Entering the unknown in order to give it form. Moving through and feeling our way into these new places allows us to expand our spatio-temporal perception and open new paths, more aligned with our interests and desires.
Transformative action
When we return to the body — that is, when we begin to feel it again, move it differently, and breathe it — neural networks are activated, lowering the volume of the restless mind and allowing us to move into action toward what we want to make tangible. When the mind is emptied of ruminative thoughts, transformation can happen, and change arrives to give impulse to movement, understood here as the power to act and bring into reality what we need to accomplish in order to fulfill our projects and dreams.
Balance
Balance is not something that is maintained in a fixed place; it is something in constant movement in order to find that “right” point. Understanding this principle or pillar through the body is a wonderful sensation that allows us to apply it to other areas of life, with others and with ourselves; for example: the act of giving and receiving, in a continuous flow, so that neither side outweighs the other. It is equally important to support and to be supported, without emptiness, with full surrender to holding and being held.
Expression
Being in our center (called here HARA), we allow ourselves to express our truth through play, and once again deepen the exploration of other possibilities. There are as many forms of expression as there are human beings. We give ourselves the possibility of shaping these intangibles in order to express ourselves from authenticity.
Proprioception and perception
Proprioception gives us the possibility of being authentic, and the perception of our environment allows us to understand the world in a different way. By positioning ourselves — positioning the body — we give meaning to perceived sensations, activating imagination and thus allowing us to project new scenarios. Space-time can take on a new definition for our creations through this principle.
Creativity
Creation happens in every moment in which we perform an action — no matter how small or automatic it may seem — it will never be the same as another, and that is pure, present creation, even if we do not perceive it that way. Now, when we focus on creating something “new” and become blocked, we return to the body, to feeling, and there returns the sense that every breath is a new beginning and a closing. Using this as a tool for my project Haragati, for artistic projects, or for navigating life processes, has been my greatest ally.
