We are like tuning forks vibrating at the same pitch (Alexander Lowen,1995)
In this day and time, we hear a lot about ‘mind, body, and spirit.’ It seems easier sometimes to identify with the mind and body then it does the spirit. Do you ever stop your body, calm your mind, and ask your spirit what she or he desires? The answer many times comes auto-magically… all we have to do is ask, acknowledge our uniqueness, and honor the request.
Bring your body and mind to class this Thanksgiving week, and honor what your spirit is desiring. Even if you don’t have an answer, its all in the dance… the dance of life. Spread your wings and set your spirit free to explore!
Joanie and I are team-teaching a special Thanksgiving day Nia class at 8:00am. Come move your body in gratitude and thanksgiving before the family joins you for a feast! I will also be teaching my class Tuesday morning at 6:45am, Wednesday at 9:15am, and Friday at 5:30pm.
Have a blessed and beautiful Thanksgiving!
With love, Adelle

I left San Antonio early yesterday morning, a beautiful 75 degrees on its way to 82 by the afternoon. Two hours later, I landed in Denver, Colorado. It was 40 degrees and dropping. As we drove from the airport, I watched storms roll into the mountains, the sky darken and heavy sleet and rain begin to fall. The snowflakes started, and two hours later I was in Stoney’s bar at the largest University of Oklahoma football watch party outside of Norman, Oklahoma. It was surreal as we sang the fight song, 300 people cheered on the team from 14 televisions, and snow blanketed the earth. And it was 22 degrees outside!
Do you sometimes feel yourself surrounded by chaotic movement and change, wondering where you are and where you have been?
Take a moment to notice your feet, your legs, your knees, your deep hip joints, and sense their stability, strength, and resilient design.
Thank the base of your body… and bring it to class this week to show your appreciation and gratitude for deep roots that connect you.
Your base… your body… your home.
See you on the dance floor!
All love, Adelle

I looked in the mirror today, and saw somebody different. I was intrigued… I knew I hadn’t changed from the day before, yet who I observed was someone new.
Do you ever take the time to look at yourself and notice the beauty of your body, your emotional expressions, your inner spirit, your human-ness?
I was inspired by the words of Madisyn Taylor this morning when she talked about how many of us don’t take the time to notice and acknowledge how beautiful we are as humans. After reading her words, I stopped and reflected.
200 bones, 700 muscles, thousands of sensory receptors, countless possibilities for shape shifting, evolving, and appreciating every moment in union with our divine spirit, our deep emotions, our sacred vessel… our body.
Does each day bring change? Absolutely. Sometimes the change is not what we want, or desire, but it is the only constant of life. We all have a beautiful light that shines from within, no matter how much we change or how others see us. When we cut through preconcieved notions of how we should look, and simply appreciate our inner light and beauty, we free up so much energy.
Take the time today to look at yourself in the mirror and see your inner soul… see yourself in the pure light of love.
Divine love.
Come dance this week with your inner eyes turned on. We call it x-ray anatomy in Nia… seeing the potential of your beautiful self.
For you ARE beautiful.
