How Ecstatic Dance Hacks Happy Chemicals And Improves Health

On this episode of Biohack-HERS, HigherDOSE Founders Lauren Berlingeri and Katie Kaps meet with Yarixa Ferrao — aka, Coach Yarixa — the founder of Unleash!, to experience the healing benefits of ecstatic dance. As CEOs, Lauren and Katie don’t always have the time to let loose, but in the pursuit of science, they’re tapping into their wild side to see if this biohacking experience really works.



Ecstatic dance dates back to Ancient Greece where citizens believed they could achieve trance-like godly states through free movement. And, today, new agers, burners, and conscious communities alike practice this form of primal movement for the same benefits. For this Biohack-HERS experience, Coach Yari guides Lauren and Katie through a journey of self-discovery with the help of primal dancing and movement, which not only allows them to open up and experience a little more fun and freedom but also comes with a host of health benefits.


Dance is a powerful biohacking tool that decreases stress hormones such as cortisol while increasing happy chemicals, which can boost the mood, relieve anxiety, and help reset the nervous system. It can also help get the mind and body in a flow state, which is known to increase happiness and creativity, help regulate emotions, and ignite motivation.
