Yoga Rave - The yoga trend

No drugs, no alcohol, no cigarettes- Yoga Rave is an alternative for young people. Not all people here wear Indian clothes, long hair, it does not smell of incense and I hear neither esoteric nor psychedelic music. People of very different style, which only have one thing in common: they are young. Aged between 15 and 30 years.
At the very beginning, people dress shoes off - they are all barefoot.
Yoga Rave - what is that?
A party 19 to 23 clock, without alcohol, but with yoga, meditation, vegetarian food, a live band and lots of dancing.

7:30 to gather all participants - there are at least 80 - in the great room, with carpeted floors. A girl comes to the small stage. It is the yoga teacher.
After 1.5 hour of yoga and meditation integrated, begins a slow recovery. All come together in small groups, talking, first softly, everyone is quiet, set through meditation.
But then starts the live music. A band consisting of trumpet, horn, trombone and drum takes the stage. The music is exciting, energetic, and so suddenly, all participants.
There is plenty of room for dancing and Yoga Rave sets everyone is free.
Sometimes all take hands, sometimes spontaneous dances developed together with others I've never seen before. Without that I know what happens to me, is a boy among chops with me. We go around in circles.
I do not know if I ever so free, so carefree, so without thinking about other people and about the effect of the external, the body was able to dance in society.
There is so much room to dance and I am free. Yoga Rave sets me free.
