… with your body.

Good evening friends,

In this week of Valentine’s, we are reminded of the ever-abiding presence of love that surrounds us… from family, friends, and other special relationships in our life.

The presence of love is always there, whether during the week of Valentine’s, celebrating another holiday, or just any ordinary day. All we have to do is take a breath… one breath… to be reminded that our body loves us. Our breath reminds us that our body naturally takes in love when it needs it, through the inhale… and releases gratitude when its ready, through the exhale.

The most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with your body. Getting to know your body better, through movement, exploration, and listening to its voice of sensation, is truly the most important ‘task’ we can do everyday.

Fall in love with your body. Tell your body how much you appreciate its constant presence, its steady companionship, no matter the circumstances. 

I’m having a love affair with my psoas muscle, a fascinating part of my body that holds me up, walks me through my day, and holds emotions for me. I’m continuing my love affair with my psoas this week.

I hope you will join me in class both Tuesday 6:45am, Wednesday 9:15am, for a regular Nia class, as well as Thursday 9:15am and Friday 5:30 pm, for Nia FreeDance.

I’m choosing to teach Nia FreeDance two times this week.

Why? Because I LOVE the practice sooo much, and I LOVE my body sooo much, that I want to give it extra special attention, feeding it with freedom in Body, Emotion, Mind and Spirit. Ahhhh! Perfect.

SEE you soon!

LOVE LOVE LOVE, Adelle
