Month: July 2016

Dear dancing friends,

Joanie and I just returned from an amazing, fun, and expansive weekend in Colorado, teaching Nia FreeDance in three cities, with three communities. After flying into Denver on Friday, we taught an evening class at iBody, a Saturday morning class in Boulder at Joy in Motion and a Sunday afternoon class in Colorado Springs at the Briargate YMCA.

My creative juices are on fire, and the opportunities to spread the love of movement are stronger than ever.

Have you heard of the Fibonacci sequence? The Fibonacci sequence is the mathematical equation that is constantly expanding… infinite. Starting with 0,  then 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of the previous two.

0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, . . .

The Fibonacci sequence is named after the late 11th century Italian mathematician Leonardo of Pisa, known as Fibonacci. He introduced the sequence to the West, but guess what? It was present from time eternal.

The Fibonacci sequence appears everywhere in our natural world. Nia Principle #2, Natural Time, at its most poignant. It is coded in the world’s DNA, including yours.

What does that mean to you and me? It means that life has infinite possibilities and potential, if we just get out of the way, and let our body, emotions, mind and spirit have the space to expand. There are multiple ways to reach our goals, our dreams, and our visions. Are you on board?

Let’s start with the 0… the one point… the physical center of the body… and say ‘I Am’… ‘So Hum’… next, put it into motion by saying, ‘Now I Am’. What do you want more of in your life? What do you wish for your family? Your friends? The world? Take a Breath… it starts there. Now I Am Breathing… Now I Am Grateful… Now I Am Abundant… Now I Am Love… Now I Am Authentically Me.

Join me this week as we continue to expand and grow my new routine Breath, that I will be filming for Nia HQ in September. Three songs have been replaced. I’ve received amazing feedback from the community here, as well as trainers and friends in other communities.

Let’s grow this lifestyle practice together, expanding our Fibonacci spiral wider and wider. It is coded in our DNA. We were born to dance. It is our birthright, and the birthright of everyBody.  Bring friends… let’s dance… let’s Breathe!

Check out the beautiful Fibonacci sequences in our natural world throughout this blog. Look and see them all around you!

Deep love, Adelle

Friends!

Are you ready to let go, and let it flow? 

The world is moving with a lot of chaos energy right now, and chaos is the catalyst for creativity. Making a difference… Being the change… Shapeshifting the world energy… It begins within each one of us.

When we make choices from the place of love, the energy shifts.

Want to join in the movement of love?

Let’s start on the dance floor, moving with our body, our emotion, our mind and our spirit… moving with the energy of love and sending it out to the world.

Shape-shift. Let’s go!                                                                                                                See YOU today, Thursday, July 21 for Nia FreeDance at The Synergy Studio. 9:15 am.

See you on the dance floor of life… Adelle

Happy Monday my friends!

In the last 5 days, I have been filled up with new knowledge on my journey to become a Yoga 200-hour certified teacher. Joanie, Ananda and I traveled to Scottsdale, AZ to experience an amazing advanced Level 4 training with YogaFit, a remarkable organization. Our trainer was over-the-top knowledgeable, open and receptive as we studied the ancient wisdom of Yoga philosophy and lifestyle. Diving into the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and learning the Language of Yoga was humbling and awe inspiring. We sang, danced, and shared. My understanding and love of Yoga has grown exponentially! Like Nia, the practice of Yoga provides a lifetime of learning about oneself.

Yoga is one of the movement forms of Nia. Noticing the alignment of our bones, noticing the sensations of flexibility, stability and strength in our bodies, connecting to breath and sound, and ultimately connecting to our essence.

We will focus on this ancient movement form this week in Nia classes. I will also be teaching the  8:45 am Slow Flow Yoga class on Sunday morning. AND… beginning in August, Joanie and I will be teaching the Thursday Yoga for Lunch class at noon, alternating weeks. 🙂

My hope is that you add more Yoga into your lifestyle. This ancient practice that incorporates the whole being has been around for 1000’s of years. There is so much to be learned in this lifetime!

If you have played with the idea of going deeper into understanding yoga, we have a fantastic school that starts in September. Read more about it here. We have a Free Vinyasa Yoga class and information session, coming this Saturday at 11:00. You can ask questions and learn more about our amazing school. Sign up for the free class here. 

See you at the studio!

With love, Adelle
