July Class Schedule and Studio Closing

Dear Friends,
    The studio where I teach, Renaissance Healing Center in Jax Beach is closing its doors on July 31st.  If you get our newsletter you may have already received the notice.  This is very sad news for all of us here at the Center as we had hoped to continue offering our Healing services to the Beaches community as a group.  As it is, we now must go our separate ways but we will still be offering our individual services such as Massage, Facials and Skin Care, Acupuncture, Yoga and Pilates Classes from other locations.
     I am contacting other studios in the Beaches area to arrange a place to continue teaching Pilates and Bellydance group classes.  I love all my students and do not wish for you to go without the wonderful healing that Pilates and Bellydance exercise provides to the mind, body, and spirit.  I do offer Private Sessions in your own home by appointment, for those of you interested in continuing your practice, as well as for anyone new to Pilates or Bellydance.   I also am available for Bellydance Performance/Instruction at parties, such as Birthdays, Bridal or Baby Showers, Girl's Night In/Out Gatherings, Drum Circles and other events, please call me for details or to book your event! (904) 246-4970
       July will be the last month at Renaissance Healing Center so please come in to use any class passes you have purchased.  My classes in July are as follows:  Wednesdays Pilates Plus 7-8:15pm, 
Thursdays Healthy & Fit Noon-12:45pm, 
Fridays Bellydance Beginner Course 6-7:15pm.  
Sign up now for the Beginner Bellydance 5 week course that starts THIS FRIDAY! see the flyer below for more info on this class.  I will truly miss the energy and everyone involved with Renaissance Healing Center, but I hope you will journey with me as I seek out new opportunities in the community to provide the healing that is so needed during these stressful times.  Thank you so much for your patronage and continued support!!  I will see you in class again soon :)
Sincerely,
Lacy A. Norman

Beginner Bellydance 5 week course!

Graceful Belly Dance with a Veil on April 3rd 3-5pm

Follow this Event on Facebook:
Belly Dance at Renaissance Healing Center
What should I bring?
If you have any Bellydance "gear" i.e. a coin belt, hip scarf, or a veil, you are welcome to bring it. Also, if you prefer to dance in soft soled shoes rather than barefeet, please wear them but it is not required. Dancing with a veil is all about the arms, so please don't wear any restrictive tops, you will need full range of motion of your shoulders and arms. --a sports bra w/a tank top or tshirt is just fine. As for bottoms, yoga pants or a long flowing "gypsy" skirt is a good choice, because it will spin beautifully :) It is a workout so be comfortable and be prepared to sweat a little. I am so looking forward to dancing with you all!
Stick around after the workshop for a performance and Birthday celebration!

Lacy's Classes at Renaissance Healing Center

This week's group classes:
Wednesday 7-8:15pm  Pilates Plus: Back Care & Stretching  $10
The weather is finally a little warmer, let's stretch out those winter blues so we can stand tall ready for spring!  In this level 1 class, we will explore the range of motion of the spine with exercises that strengthen the core and improve posture.

Thursday 12-12:45pm  Healthy & Fit: Pilates Core  $8
Pilates exercises work your deep abdominal muscles(core) while also working the muscles around the hip joint and 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 and stamina and burns lots of calories!

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
Lacy
