“…move in accord with what we call the Body’s Way: the structural design of the body that dictates its proper use. Even more precisely, you must move in accord with your own Body’s Way, because no two bodies are alike.”

All things change when we do.  -David Whyte

Only nuns change habits overnight. -Karen Scalf Linaman

You changed. -J. Innominato, Jr.

Like walking into a hot tub, one slow step at a time, I exhale and submerge into my healthiest and most satisfied self to date. My inner fullness overflows as great blessings to the world.      -Dina Innominato

We are never more than one grateful thought away
from peace of heart.

-Brother David Steindl-Rast

This lovely lady is Ostara the Goddess of Spring letting us know…we’ve made it!!

Night and day are in dynamic balance today, but the sun will win out over the dark of winter. I’ve enjoyed the time of quiet introspection…AND, (not for nuthin’)
I’m OVER IT and ready for some SUN, please!

What a wonderful time of exuberance and fertility, a celebration of the abundance of nature. In fact, a time for the enjoyment of just about everything. Winter is over!

Let’s dance! Outside and inside, over the river and through the woods! Wanna come?!

Debbie and Carlos’ choreography + my musical picks = AWESOME ROUTINE, “The 52 Moves”…or as I like to call it “the 5 to the 2″… 

This routine’s  focus is on the 52 moves that make up the Nia Technique.  The diverse musical genres in my set list intentionally hint at the unique energy each of the nine classic movement forms bring to our Nia practice.  Enjoy!
