Join Crystal Gurrola and Mehtab Kirtan as we embody sound through movement by attuning ourselves to the subtle vibrations, sensations, and impulses of live drumming. Here we will free our minds of the burden of judgment and self-doubt so that our creativity can emerge through improvised physical movement. Our movement in relationship to the music, space, and fellow participants synergistically work together to bring us into a state of playful yet grounded awareness.No previous experience is needed in movement or dance to fully express yourself through this offering.

Mehtab Kirtan (Stevenson Valentor) is a professional musician, kundalini yoga instructor, and Tarot healer. His musical life began with piano lessons at age 6, and since then he has communed with music through drum set, tabla and vocals.
Mehtab is most excited to assist students in healing and empowering themselves through vocal expression. Everyone has a voice, and everyone has the capacity to fully heal themselves with the power of intention and tone.
Crystal Gurrola is a professional dancer and has not been able to stop moving since she was eight years old. She is trained in ballet, jazz, modern, and contemporary dance. She received her BFA in Dance from the University of Iowa. It was there in Iowa City that she began her yoga journey under the mentorship of Charlotte Adams. Yoga helped her strike a balance between her love of movement and finding the stillness she needed in her life to be more fully present.
She received her 200-hr Teacher Training in Hatha Yoga shortly before graduating from college. After graduating she moved to Japan where she worked as a Dance Performer at Universal Studios, taught yoga and dance classes to her coworkers, hiked Mt. Fuji, and became a vegan. After returning to her hometown, Chicago, Crystal received her Restorative Yoga Teacher Training from Grace Jurkowski at Yoga Now. Currently Crystal is a company dancer with Hedwig Dances, an Educator at Lululemon Bucktown, a writer at DancerMusic.com, and owner of her Etsy shop CrystalCares.
Crystal’s mission as a Yoga Teacher is to help people access the freedom and ease of movement in their bodies at any age, to challenge and improve their movement range, and to settle in and be present.
