(MAHWAH, NJ) –  Yoga enthusiasts will find a weekend full of yoga activities April 9 and 10 at Ramapo College of New Jersey, as the Center for Innovative and Professional Learning offers Moving Mantras: A Yoga Dance Experience.

Moving Mantras performances merge the experience of the performer and the witness to create a sense of unity and connection. The performances include a discussion with the choreographer about merging movement and meditation. The program has been described as one of the most pleasing, pleasurable, blissful performances.

A diverse company of Rockland, Westchester, and Manhattan based dancers and yogis perform Moving Mantras, a joyful integration of yoga, meditation and dance, choreographed by Betsy Ceva, founder and director of the Birchwood Center, Nyack, NY.  Ceva’s experience as a professional modern dancer, choreographer and dance instructor since 1970 has shaped her unique style of yoga and meditation-in-motion.

The program will be held on Sunday, April 10 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in the Academic Complex, H-wing Auditorium. It is free to Ramapo College students and $5 for all other attendees. To request disability-related accommodations, please call 201.684.7370 or email cipl@ramapo.edu.

On Saturday, April 9, Ceva will lead  Moving Mantras: A Yoga in the Bill Bradley Sports and Recreation Center, Studio A-B, from 9 a.m. to noon.  She will lead participants on how to merge movement and meditation with the power of word to promote growth and healing individually, in relationship, and communally.
