Bodyfulness — Seattle Nia with Dina

This weekend, our check-in Goddess Rachel, and her husband, Chris, moved into their new home!

How’s that for leaping forward!?

Be sure to give her a high-five when you see her next. Yay!

“If you want to be truly understood, you need to say everything three times, in three different ways.

Once for each ear… and once for the heart.

The right ear represents the ability to apprehend the nature of the Whole, the wholeness of the circumstance, the forest.

The left ear represents the ability to select a sequential path.

And the heart represents a balance between the two.”

–Paula Underwood Spencer, “A Native American Worldview”

YES! I can feel something special in the air tonight! Class at 6:30PM.

“You have brains in your head.

You have feet in your shoes.

You can steer yourself any direction you choose.

You’re on your own.

And you know what you know.

And YOU are the one who’ll decide where to go!”

–Thank you Joel and Michelle Levey for this quote from Dr. Seuss!

“With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony

and the deep power of joy

we see into the heart of things.”

William Wordsworth

Wishing you and yours a very Happy Valentine’s Day filled with love, and a blessed New Year!

The Chinese New Year tradition is to forget all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone.

Ahhhhhh…….

PS- I’m back. See you at class

After class this morning, I’ll be on my way to VEGAS, baby! My Mom, her sister Maryann, and my sister, Christiane will be staying at the Mandalay Bay Hotel for 3 nights to celebrate my Mom’s 70th birthday!

Please enjoy GUEST TEACHER MOLLIA on Friday morning!

Hopefully, I’ll be blogging from the road…stay tuned!

“Sorrow prepares you for joy.

It violently sweeps everything out of your house,

so that new joy can find space to enter.

It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart,

so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place.

It pulls up the rotten roots,

so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow.

Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart,

far better things will take their place.”

–Jalaluddin Rumi

Today is the first “Double Shot Friday” of February, which means that I teach two classes today: 9am and 6:30 PM.

FYI – “Double Shots” happen the 1st and 3rd Fridays of every month!

Get ready to get some dance energy, which is BY FAR better than a coffee buzz…
