Dancing in Circles. . .

  On Sunday Dec 13th I attended my first writing circle with Sharon Elliott.  It was a beautiful and heart opening experience.  The circle was full of Ahhhhs of appreciation and Mmmms of thoughtfulness as we each shared our words.  Sharon was a perfect guide and helped us explore our "sphere" inside and out.  I am just beginning to get reconnected with my inner poet so this circle of women writing with simple words was what I needed to fuel my fire of creation.  Here is a link to Sharon's site and a poem complied of phrases we each wrote in the circle: All Write Now  This workshop was a great was to spend 2 hours on a Sunday.  We continued to build and integrate the energy with a Yoga class from 5-6p followed by our monthly Women's Drum Circle.  By the end of the evening I was dancing and drumming in pure delight!  Thank you sooooo much to all the organizers and Ladies who joined us for this special, empowering day!! We can't wait to have Sharon back in January for another mini-retreat.  It's scheduled for Sunday Jan 10th, 2:00 – 4:30pm and again followed by Yoga at 5p and Women's Drum Circle at 6p.  Please join me at Renaissance Healing Center for this wonderful experience of the creative feminine.
Peace

It's "Abs Week" with Pilates and Bellydancing!

Wednesday 7pm  ~ Pilates Plus
Last week we had fun with the fitness circle and ball in a great Pilates Toning Class.  This week we'll focus on the core and powerhouse with Power Abs!  Pilates exercises work your deep abdominal muscles(core) while also working the muscles around the hip joint and the muscles of the lower back.  Including the core, this area makes up the powerhouse of the body.  If you build lean muscle here, it improves your balance, stamina and burns lots of calories!  So if you want flat abs this holiday season, come to Pilates class Wednesday night from 7-8:15pm at Renaissance Healing Center (A1A & 3rd N).

Thursday 12noon ~ 45 min Lunch Time Pilates
Another way to get flat abs and more energy is to do core exercises throughout your day.  If you squeeze in some mind-body exercise during your lunch break you'll feel less fatigue (and less back pain) at the end of your day.  So get out of your office (or car) and onto a mat for some stretching and strengthening every Thursday from 12 to 12:45pm.

Friday 5:15pm ~ Bellydancing for Beginners series #6 of 6
It's the last class of this series!   As we wrap up the dance (DjennaDjenna), we'll be getting awesome ab work practicing camels and hip twists.  Ladies you are welcome to wear skirts and all the shiny, jingly baubles you want for our Last Class.  I look forward to having a fun time with you all!  Our next session begins in January.  The first class will be on Friday Jan. 8, 2010 and will continue every Friday for 6 weeks.  Register before Dec 18th and get an extra $5 off the low price of $50!

Next Week:  Join me Wed. December 23rd for Last Chance Cardio Pilates.  <3 Let's make our hearts' happy(and strong) and burn some calories before the big holiday feast!  $10 drop in or first class free <3
