Let’s Play! Run Run Breathe Breathe!

On October 27, 2014

Hi precious friends,

When my children were little, one of their favorite made up games was Run, Run, Fall, Fall… hahahha… it didn’t require any toys except their energetic bodies to play… the rules? A leader says, “Run Run!” and everyone runs around like crazy until they say, “Fall Fall!”

I was laughing about this game my children played last night, one that is a perfect metaphor for the last three weeks of my life, with one caveat… the words ‘Fall Fall’ became ‘Breath Breathe’ for me.

Three weeks ago, I was in California completing my ‘trainer’ status in Transformational Breath®. I flew home two Fridays ago, and took a cab straight to the studio to welcome 4 beautiful friends on their first day of Nia White Belt training with me and Joanie. After a full weekend, we had 4 days ‘off’ to integrate and return on Thursday to finish the week. My ‘off’ days were… well… NOT! hahaha!

So here I am… three weeks of ‘Run Run’… and I’m so grateful that I always remember to ‘Breathe Breathe.’

Let’s ‘Breathe Breathe’ this week with the magical routine Prana. I will be teaching with only ‘Breath’ cues, so join me for an amazing dance of your breath and beautiful music, uninterrupted by any words. 🙂

My classes this week: Tuesday 6:45am, Wednesday 9:15am, Friday 5:30 is CANCELLED due to Halloween (I have lots of little ones in my neighborhood!), Sunday at 4:00pm… AND

Join Angie and me Sunday morning from 10:00-12:00 for a JourneyDance™ Energy of the Heart!

OH! It will be wonderful! Sign up online by clicking here. You can also use two punches on your class card.

ITS A GREAT WEEK TO BREATHE BREATHE!

Dancing De-light-filled Friends,

What do you have a Passion for? Music, books, singing, cooking, gardening, biking, ???… it is ALL a Dance of Life.

No matter what you have a Passion for, every movement your body makes is a dance. Your body LOVES to move and is designed to move and self-heal. Even doing the dishes is a dance… recognize it and sense it in your body.

We call it ‘Dancing Through Life’ in Nia, but it is a life skill that is available to everyBody.

Bring your Passion(s) to class this week. Join me tomorrow morning, Tuesday at 6:45am, and Wednesday at 9:15am. Joanie and I will team-teach Friday 5:30pm, Saturday 9:30am, and Sunday 4:00pm, as we celebrate our wonderful new White Belts from our community! They graduate on Sunday, so be sure to dance in the celebration dance with us on Sunday at 4:00!

Its all a Dance ladies and gents… a dance of Passion!

Loving life and YOU, Adelle

From Portland to San Antonio!

On September 24, 2014

Good evening dancing beings!

… today has been a long travel day… from Portland to San Antonio. We had an amazing weekend, welcoming the new 47 Nia Black Belts, sharing time with dear friends from all over the world, and filming some amazing new Nia routines!

One of the gifts for me was being with Ann Christiansen. We see each other only once or twice a year when she travels from Germany. She taught a beautiful 52 Moves Level 1 class Friday morning, and then gifted me with the playlist. It was a yummy, intrinsic experience.

I am inspired to focus on Nia Principle #7, Planes and Levels. By truly experiencing a Nia class at Level One, it gives us the chance to go deep in our intrinsic muscles, the tiny muscles that keep our skeletal structure strong.

Get ready to play this week, and be amazed how Level One is a different, very powerful workout for the body and soul.

On Sunday, join Angie and me for a JourneyDance® Embodiment Workshop from 10:00-12:00. Learn the JourneyDance™ Embodiment series of release technique exercises and powerful core connections. We will get out of our mind and into our body, taking time to slow down, roll and feel our body in contact with the earth. We will get grounded, releasing, surrendering and feeling supported. We will drop deep and let go of stress and pressures.

Sound yummy? Its $25. or 2 punches on your class card. Sign up here!

Get ready for a nurturing week… all for you!

With love, Adelle

Balance in the Central Nervous System!

On September 8, 2014

A gorgeous day to everyBody!

I woke up this morning, relaxed, read, drank coffee, and then headed out for a Pilates class. My mind was engaged in my reading about our central nervous system.

In class, I became acutely aware of when my sympathetic nervous system came into play, as my body was challenged in some poses. At the end of class, I felt tears flow as my parasympathetic nervous system kicked in, bringing relaxation and balance to my body. Tears often come up as we let our guard down.

We learn in Nia that the ‘body demands balance’, one of our Five Principles of The Body’s Way. We find balance in yin and yang movements, in right/left, up/down, in systemic movement as every cell is activated. We also find balance by exciting both our sympathetic nervous system, fight or flight… as well as our parasympathetic nervous system, the relaxation response that restores calm to the body’s inner workings.

We will focus this week on bringing awareness to our central nervous system, both sympathetic and parasympathetic, experiencing the balance of each that brings our body into homeostasis as we sense our endorphins lift our spirits!

Sound like education? Ha!… Nia is educating each one of us as we connect with the beautiful vessel that has been gifted to us, our body, all wrapped up in an hour of fun!

I look forward to our dance… Adelle

Dancing Through Life!

On August 28, 2014

Hola wonderful friends!

I’m in the Las Vegas airport, waiting on my flight home to San Antonio, after a wonder-filled week of teaching and vacationing.

I was in Duvall, Washington, at a gorgeous, small retreat center… Mosswood Hollow. I was co-training a Transformational Breath® Seminar with 4 other trainers, including the founder Judith Kravitz. We had 17 participants from all over the world, including China and Saudi Arabia.

It was a magnificent experience for everyone, and I HIGHLY recommend it for you! Judith returns to San Antonio Nov 7-13 for another Seminar, and I will be co-training with her… I really hope you will join us. Ask me more via email. I would love to share with you.

THEN, I traveled back to Seattle and met three of my children for an exquisite mini -vacation in the San Juan Islands, WA. Some of you have followed my pics on Facebook… it was truly magical… from whales, otters, fantastic food, lavender farm, magnificent boats, and most importantly… wonderful company.

Every day is a dance of life. Even as I sit here in the Las Vegas airport (the LAST place I want to be), I am watching the dance of families, vacationers, and business people. I love to people watch. 🙂

Join me tomorrow, Friday, at 5:30, for the only class I teach this week. We will Dance Through Life, exploring Nia Principle #5… my fav! Recognizing that every moment of life can be experienced as a dance changes the perspective of living in the now.

From the foothills of Washington, to Seattle, the San Juan Islands, Las Vegas airport… to home sweet home…

It is ALL a Dance of Life. 🙂

I can’t wait to see you tomorrow at 5:30. 🙂

With deep love, Adelle

Savoring the Moment… Lots of Delicious this week!

On August 11, 2014

Good evening wonderful friends!

‘Yummy, Yummy, Delicious’ continues this week after a WONDERFUL weekend routine immersion with teachers from all over Texas! From Austin, Katy, Edinburg, Port Isabel, and San Antonio… we gathered to learn the new Nia routine Feeling. A weekend of commUNITY, fellowship, friendship and loads of FUN. 🙂

As I embody this new routine, it gets yummier and more delicious. 🙂 The focus is the Core of the Body… head, chest, pelvis… and when we activate these three body weights, our beautiful spine releases blocked energy and we feel fantastic!

Join us this week as we dance Feeling, diving even deeper into the new moves, embodying and learning together as sensation scientists. It is indeed yummy, yummy, delicious. 🙂

Another delicious experience is coming this Sunday, as Joanie and I teach a Detox Yoga Flow Special Class from 10:00-11:30 am. Read on!

“Sense breath, sense consciousness expanding, forgive self, acknowledge the light of yourself. Be aware of spirals of energy moving through your spine. Let the heart open. Let the breath flow, the diaphragm be full and free in its movement.” Dhyani Ywahoo

Ahhhh!!!! Are you ready? I’m ready! We have a GREAT weekend coming up!

Let’s dance our beautiful spine by activating the Core, Nia White Belt Principle #8. Pelvis, Chest, Head. Energy centers that bring us healing throughout our body when we dance them in life!

Nia gifts us with 7 Core moves that are delicious!

Play with these throughout your day, and join Joanie and me this weekend as we dance the new routine Feeling!

Friday, 5:30pm, Saturday 9:30am, and Sunday 4:00pm

Yeah mon!

Use your eyes to explore your environment (Head and Eye movement). Notice how this brings you to the NOW and can bring the sensation of gratitude.
Undulate your spine while setting at your desk (Undulation). Notice how your breath expands.
When you reach towards earth to pick something up, go down in a wider stance and then rise through the base of your spine, stacking your pelvis first, then chest, then your head (Spinal Roll).
Take an afternoon pick me up break by shaking and shimming your chest. Smile or even add a little sound when you do this! (Shimmy). How do you feel?
When you are paused in traffic, bring mobility to your chest to release any tension (Chest Isolations). Notice how your breath expands and relaxes you.
While standing making a meal, circle your pelvis in both directions and sense the release in your lower back (Pelvis Circles). Add little bumps with your hips and notice how this makes your feel a bit sassy!!! (Hip Bumps)

OOOOHHHH!!! I’m so excited!

Loving you in abunDance, Adelle

Look and See… the Magic of Eyes!

On July 20, 2014

www.transformationalbreath.com
www.journeydance.com

I C U!

Lately I’ve been unable to sleep very much, my creative right brain on high alert, dancing with ideas and bursting with excitement.

I believe 3 weeks of teaching in silence has set it free. 🙂

As I was lying in bed early this morning, after waking up yet another time, I looked around the room in the ‘dark’ and was amazed how much my eyes could see.

At our 1st Degree Black Belt this year, Debbie Rosas talked about the importance of thinking of our eyes like any other part of the body. Exercise, as well as relaxation, are vitally important for the health and well-being of our ability to look and see.

When we first wake up in the morning, our eyes are the clearest and most alert. Taking time to look out, and focusing both far and near, without the help of glasses, will help to bring the eyes into homeostasis. Recognizing when we are straining our eyes, and therefore our eye muscles, and taking time to palm, relax, and breathe, will help our eyes to stay soft and function properly.

This week, we will focus on one of our 52 moves of Nia, called Head and Eye Movements. While it is the only ‘move’ that is attributed to the head, using the eyes to look and see is key to our over-all well-being and quality of life.

We will use different techniques from Qigong, Yoga, Meditation, as well as palming, swaying, etc to help maintain and improve the wonderful organ we call eyes.

Love your eyes, Love your body!

I’ll LOOK for you this week, and SEE you in class! and BTW, I will be speaking. 🙂

With deep love, Adelle
