Yoga of the Hands, Dance of the Heart

On September 18, 2015

Welcome to a beautiful week in San Antonio!

I LOVE when I sense the weather begin to change. 🙂

Life is about change and the freedom to choose something different.

I’ve been examining my day to day ‘reactions’ to different situations, and making conscious choices to ‘respond’ in a different way. By noticing the familiar feeling when it arises in my body, taking a few deep breaths, and changing my reaction to a thoughtful response, the energy shifts and I’m aware of an expansive sensation in my cells.

Its pretty wonderful, I must say. 🙂

Joanie and I have a new offering that starts this week! As one of the Yoga teacher at the studio is leaving for a job opportunity in Austin, we will be alternate teaching a Hatha Yoga Flow class on Sunday afternoons at 5:30, following our 4:00 Nia class. This class will be a great opportunity to consciously add Yoga to your Nia practice and enhance the sensations of strength, flexibility, and stability. We are very excited!

Bring your hands and your dancing heart this week to the studio, as we focus on the freedom to choose something different. Using the Lotus Hand Mudra, combined with breath, we will shed the light of awareness on our choices moment to moment, responding with love, enhancing the expanded sensation in our cells.

Yummy, yummy, delicious!

Love, Adelle

My classes this week:

Nia-Tuesday 6:45am, Wednesday 9:15am, Nia FREEDANCE Thursday 9:15am, Fun Friday 5:30pm, Sunday 4:00pm, and Hatha Yoga Flow Sunday 5:30pm

The very center of your heart is where life begins.

The most beautiful place on earth.

Celebrate work, Celebrate play!

Labor Day is a “holiday dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers. It constitutes a yearly national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity and well-being of our country.” ~ www.dol.gov

I love the description of Labor Day. ‘Strength, Prosperity, Well-Being’ A perfect triad for Nia, a life-style practice that keeps on giving, day after day, class after class.

Let’s make every day a Labor Day!

Join me this week as we play with the sensations of strength and flexibility, energy in and energy out. When we pump the muscles in our body, mind, emotions and spirit, we create prosperity and well-being for our life.

The pumping sensation of our muscles keeps us strong, powerful, and also allows us to release and let go. It is the in and out motion that brings us well-being, and keeps us ready for each amazing day.

Join me this week, as we play with in/out, contraction/extension, strength/flexibility.

Classic Nia Tuesday 6:45am, Wednesday 9:15am, Friday 5:30pm, and Nia FREEDANCE Thursday 9:15am

And join Angie and me Thursday evening from 6:45-8:45 for an Amazing JourneyDance™ of Manifestation! We will create manifestation boards, and dance a fantastic manifestation dance. Afterwards, we hope you will join us for dinner somewhere in The Pearl.A night of fun, friendship and movement! 🙂

See you very soon!

Love, Adelle

In Nia

Last weekend, I was thrilled to be a part of the training staff for Nia FREEDANCE, a new class that Nia is launching, and I’m sooo excited to bring it to the studio starting in September!

I will be adding Nia FREEDANCE on Thursdays at 9:15am. My first class will be Thursday, September 3rd, 9:15am.

Mark your calendars, and join me for this GREAT new addition to the wonderful practice we call Nia. Below is a description of the Nia FREEDANCE class. Wear comfortable clothes and bring an open mind, ready to explore!

Below is a description of the new class.

I love you all so much, Adelle

Nia FREEDANCE, the class, is designed to help people move freely and expressively, bringing them closer to the source of their authentic dance where their spirit, body, mind, and emotions unite to create an artful movement experience.

Nia FREEDANCE is unique; different from a Classic Nia Class with Routine Choreography. This is an “open” class intended for the participant to Move|Explore|Create through FreeDance to the Music and Movement of 4 Stages, 7 Cycles and 5 Sensations!

A more detailed description about Nia FREEDANCE,

Nia’s contribution to the Conscious Dance Community . . .

FREEDANCE is a barefoot 60-minute conscious dance movement class designed to awaken the movement artist within, and to stimulate the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The result is the art of movement creativity. Students are guided to explore their own movement, and to dance in their own way, and in their own time to soul-stirring music, eclectic sonic landscapes that provide cellular resonance to evoke self-expression, and to unleash movement creativity via the art and integration of the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Facilitated by a Nia teacher, 4 parts, with a unique focus and intent support students in creating a body of work in each class: the art. This class is open to all levels. No experience necessary.
