In Brief
Peruquois is an Australian vocalist and the creator of the "Vocal Yoga" and "Vocal Tantra" methods. Her music was part of the Mandala Dance practice before she and Maya met in person in India — a meeting that showed them the union of music and temple dance they had formed.
A Union of Music and Temple Dance
According to Peruquois, Maya was already using some of her music in her practice before they ever met in person — and once they met face to face in India, they both recognized what a strong union they had formed between two feminine forces: music and sacred temple dance. She describes Mandala Dance as a practice that is "so deep and nourishing for a woman's body and soul," one that "is spreading all around the world" — and believes every woman should explore it.
"She is an amazing teacher, and I'm so inspired that this practice is spreading all around the world."
