Miracles of life

Dear Wonderful Friends,
Thank you to so many who have expressed their concern about my family and our place in Wimberley. I am filled with gratitude that my family evacuated before the house was overcome with the power of Mother Nature and the mighty Blanco River. Our hearts go out to the many families who are facing life without a home, and in some cases, without those they love. The loss in beautiful Wimberley, Texas, is immense. 
It is reported that the landscape of the Blanco River changed in one hour, as the river swelled 40 feet with the power of 2 1/2 times Niagara Falls. Homes carried away, 500 year old trees uprooted. THAT is one powerful force of nature.
I am humbled by the outpouring of so many people, complete strangers in many cases, who have stepped in to help others. Wimberley is in action, cleaning up, even with the increased likelihood of more rain.
Life is truly a miracle. We can talk about it in an existential way, yet when change happens in nano-seconds, the appreciation grows thousand-fold.
Join me on the dance floor this week. Let’s dance the beautiful routine Miracle, saying Thank You for each moment, for our body, for life.
I love you all, Adelle

Courage, Confidence, and Resilience



Hi everyone,
 
Yesterday, I took a fantastic Yoga class with our amazing Ashley Ludwick. Her focus was the Abhaya mudra, repeating “Courage, Confidence, and Resilience.”  We returned to the mudra, (left hand over heart and right hand palm open outward) many times in class, saying the words out loud, “Courage, Confidence, and Resilience.”

The class inspired me to teach ¡Bailando! this week. When I choreographed ¡Bailando!, I incorporated the Abhaya mudra in the last song… a song of connection to community, self, spirit, peace. 

As many of you know, ¡Bailando! is an uplifting routine, that incorporates the core of the body as we move with Courage, Confidence and Resilience.

I hope you will join me this week! I teach for Angie tomorrow at 12:00, and again on Tuesday and Wednesday at my regular times. Friday, Joanie will be subbing for me as I travel to Santa Fe and step into the practice of 5Rhythms with master teacher Adam Barley. 

I have danced with him before, and know that I will receive a lot from this packed weekend, called ‘You, Me, Us.’ With this 5Rhythms practice, it will require Courage, Confidence and Resilience.  I look forward to sharing with you when I return from this short weekend!

Love in abunDance to everyone!
Adelle
