The Dance of Kali ShivA
- Yoga Workshop with Andrew Mournehis -
An evening of Yoga, Mythology, Mantra and Dance
This will be one of the rare opportunities to connect, learn and practice with Andrew Mournehis, who is flying all the way over from Australia. It’s been 3 years since his last visit, yet this will be his 6th trip to Zurich to offer his always transformative and special offering - DANCE OF THE DEITIES !
Join Andrew (Teacher) and Sarah (Host of the evening) for this special night of YOGA, PHILOSOPHY, MYTHOLOGY, MANTRA, MOVEMENT, STORYTELLING and a brand new "DANCE OF THE DEITIES” honoring the TWO most powerful TRANSFORMATION DEITIES: KALI and SHIVA within.
If you are going through a big change
The end of something old and the birthing of something new and/or
Feeling a deep internal metamorphosis taking place within your life
or simply wishing too connect to a more conscious potent part of you
THEN THIS EVENING IS FOR YOU !!!
The Dance will be to the Bhakti Mantra track "KALI SHIVA INSEPARABLE” track by Heidi Mellican (featuring Andrew Mournehis himself). A transcendent weaving of mantra, music and spoken word.
What you will get out of the evening
Time to connect with your body, mind, heart and soul
Amazing mythology and storytelling about the myths of both Kali and Shiva, and how they are relevant to our own lives
How to connect with these two primary Deities and bring them to life
Illumination and insights into places that you feel stuck or potentially blocked
Transforming our shadow (undeveloped/neglected parts) to light
A kinesthetic movement practice that will connect you deeply to the archetypal energies of these inseparable deities within you
Time to move and time to rest
Connection to a yoga community and more importantly connecting with your inner world
Time to listen, learn and access the guru (the transformative teacher) within you…not outside of you
Revealing inner wisdom that is often concealed in the business of our day to day lives
A wonderful opportunity to go deep whilst still having so much fun, play, dance and be free!
And the opportunity to practice with an internationally renowned yoga teacher and choreographer, Andrew Mournehis.
For who
For anyone curious about learning more about Yoga Philosophy & Mythology and how to embody the deities and bring them to life.

About Andrew
Andrew is an Australian born Yogi and Dancer who was living his dream as a dancer and choreographer when his career was cut short by a life-changing knee injury and serious illness in 1995. He was working for Tina Turner at the time, and it was she that initiated him into the world of Spirituality, Buddhism and the Divine. His crisis forced him to seek a healing path, and he turned to yoga to heal his body and soul, falling in love with the practice and teaching to packed classes by 1999.
Passionate about the healing power of group, mythology and stories, he combined his love for yoga with transpersonal healing to create transformative spaces for participants.
Andrew teaches a combination of Hatha, Bhakti and Tantra Yoga, and his unique teaching style is rich in Heart and Soul, Tantric Philosophy, Inspiration, Storytelling, Mantra and the Spirit of the Divine.
Andrew is also Creative director of Divinegrace Yoga
