TaKeTiNa - SF Bay Area

This group is for people who are curious about TaKeTiNa, or who have already experienced it and want to dive deeper into rhythm as a tool for personal and social evolution.

TaKeTiNa is a full-body, full-mind experience. It is simultaneously challenging and safe, and creates an atmosphere of no praise and no blame. No previous movement or music experience is necessary, and no drums are required. Participants come from a diverse array of backgrounds, ages, and interests.

As you relax into learning and engaging at your own pace, the group creates space for deeper understanding, self-discovery, and inner-silence. This dynamic and meditative work has been continuously developed and refined for the last 40 years by its founder, Reinhard Flatischler, and is led by Certified TaKeTiNa Teachers around the world, and throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area.

Come experience it for yourself.
