Zombie Yoga with Little Woo
This workshop is part of the ongoing series Sense: Mind Body Soul Workshops
Feeling a little stiff? No vigor in your rigor mortis?
Let’s put the OM back in Z’om’bie!
Part 1: ZOMBIE MAKEUP
Dive into a fast & easy makeup tutorial to create the zombie look. We will use skin-safe tempera paints with optional use of liquid latex. (Due to the short time frame, we’ll do a simple version of zombie fx makeup)
Part 2: ZOMBIE MOVEMENT
Explore the unconventional beauty of the grotesque through zombified yoga and butoh practices! In a society where death and ugliness are tucked away and sterilized in cold rooms, we will be exploring decay and suffering through playful satire.
With gleeful abandon, engage your morbid humor to embody the uncensored expression, raw hunger and animalistic power of the zombie archetype.
Here’s a clip of Zombie Yoga at Zombiewalk 2014!
I participated in Little Woo’s Zombie Yoga workshop and it was AMAZING!! It was fun to experience yoga with a completely new perspective – a perfect blend of creepy/funny! ~Shayla Williams, Vancouver
Oh yes! A brilliant and fun warm-up to awaken your inner zombie. Little Woo is such an inspiring zombie believe it or not! ~ Wendy Niessen, Vancouver
I had an amazing experience during the Zombie Yoga workshop and I can totally recommend you to take part of this exploration of being and feeling like a Zombie. I had the opportunity to transform physically and mentally into a Zombie and it was fantastic. At the beginning the combination of the two words ‘zombie’ and ‘yoga’ brought me doubts like that it was not something for me, but I allowed myself to be curious and to do something different, not only for fun but to actually live the experience. After the workshop I had a chance to play around as a Zombie and it was transformational! Thank you Little Woo for sharing your energy. ~ Tito Ohep, Vancouver
