Looking. seeing, and filled with awe

Wonderful friends,
As I sit at the studio writing you and preparing for my 4:00 class, I am in awe of the beauty and magnificence around me.
Its a beautiful sunny day, after many wonderful days of rain… I just finished an incredible Journey dance class with three awesome drummers leading us on a voyage through earth, water, fire and air… a roomful of dancing spirits, laughter, tears, singing, love and grace.
I am in awe of life itself, and our amazing community of people that are supporting one another in the journey.
We will focus this week on our eye and head movements, one of our 52 moves that activates the top of the spine and our intuition… opening to the wonder that surrounds us, looking with eyes of a beginner’s mind.
I will be introducing two more songs of Beyond as we prepare for our Beyond ‘debut’ Immersion weekend. I hope you will join Joanie and me Friday, March 23, and Saturday, March 24 as we team teach the new routine, and then on Sunday, March 25 for the Beyond Immersion Playshop at 3:00pm. We are offering a playshop to ‘learn the moves’ of this amazing routine, as we break them down into katas, then ‘move the moves’ and ‘energize the moves’ in the 4:00 class. Sign up in advance to receive the Beyond CD so you can listen in your car, house, work… fantastic music. The playshop, class, and CD are all included for $30. This routine is BEYOND any ever produced and we are sooo excited to bring it to you, our wonderful dancing friends!
Join me at 4:00 today as we use our eyes and open to the wonder… “
Opening ourselves to the experience of wonder enables us to fully comprehend the magnificence of Mother Nature and the brilliance of humankind. Underlying awe is the inspiration that drives us to become creators of majesty. As you embrace feelings of awe today, life will become more exciting than ever before!”
In awe… Adelle

Stability- Energy Resting… Yes!

Hola Amigos! El domingo bonito!
As I’m watching the beautiful sunrise, drinking coffee, and quietly awaiting a morning of ecstatic dance in Austin, I am sensing energy at rest in my body.
What is stability and how do I nurture it?
Stability is a vibration that I can physically recognize as relaxation and balance… a feeling of letting go that naturally and dynamically engages muscles, bones and joints, creating a perfect action between contraction and release. Dynamic Stability… the perfect balance of all the sensations… sensed as powerful peace.
I’ve been exploring sensations in my back, and will continue to focus on the back this week, as we bring awareness to the dynamic stability that it provides us.
Many emotions are held in the back, and sensed as pain, tension, anxiety, joy, stress, sorrow, happiness, tightness. How would you move differently if you softened into the stability of your back, noticing ways you hold back, hold in, hold out, instead of letting go?
We will explore the wonderful sensation of stability this week, an energy that is always present no matter what we are doing. Noticing stability in our back, of our back, through our back.
I’ll be sprinkling more pearls and nuggets of the new routine Beyond in my Nia classes, as we prepare for its full debut on Sunday, March 25. I hope you will join Joanie and me at 3:00 on March 25th, as we learn the moves, move the moves and then energize the moves of Beyond in our 4:00 class. If you sign up early, you can receive the great music and be freedancing its rhythms!
Our Journey Dance on Sunday at 10:00 will be in honor of Xelena’s birthday, as she brings her drumming group to gift us with live drumming in class! We will go on a journey of connection… connection within, without and beyond as we focus on our 7th Chakra… the all-knowing, the unknown, the divine. Live drumming… Woot!
It will be a great week! See you on the dance floor!
Love, Adelle
