Flow Dance Featured in DJ Mag : Legal Highs

We were honoured to be featured in the August edition of DJ Mag, in an article exploring the ‘legal highs’ available on the island. This explores how music can positive influence the mind, and how the wellness scene of Ibiza is bringing together the power of music and movement. Music profoundly influences the brain, enhancing neural connectivity and emotional processing. Neuroscientific studies show that listening to music activates regions linked to creativity, memory, and motor function. A 2019 study revealed that music synchronizes brain activity, fostering states of flow where self-consciousness dissolves and immersive presence arises. In Flow Dance Meditation, carefully curated soundscapes guide the nervous system, facilitating emotional expression and cognitive integration.

“In October we shall have our instructor training retreat at the beautiful S’ermita retreat centre and the home of Garden Of Light (Ibiza), the weekly conscious event on the island. I shall also be running a special SOMA Breath event at the amazing YogaFit retreat with Lindsay Jay.” Lindsay is the founder of YogaFit Retreats, offering bi-annual events at the Cala Blanca beach resort on Es Figueral beach. Part of their diverse range of fitness and wellness classes is Flow Dance Meditation: a combination of dance and meditation using specially curated electronic soundscapes.

Alongside Nathan Burroughs (DJ at Pikes, musical programmer at Nobu Ibiza Bay and Managing Director of Genre Music) , Flow Dance Meditation has been refined over five years of YogaFit retreats and Flow Together events at Akasha. “It’s a very exciting time for Flow Dance,” says Nathan. “More and more people are seeing dance and electronic music as a way of getting healthy, de-stressing and connecting more deeply with themselves. Ibiza is really onto it.”
