This week we will focus on sensing our pelvis in all our movements - Dancing Our Pelvis. Movement of the pelvis strengthens the abdominal muscles, releases tension in your lower back and increases spinal flexibility. When the pelvis is free, the spine is free. As you step and dance through space, move your pelvis as though you had a long tail. When you involve your pelvis in every movement and move it freely in all directions, you will become strong, toned and healthy. The word "pelvis" means basin and we like to call our pelvis the container. Think about it...your pelvis CONTAINS your reproductive organs, digestive organs, and your bladder, so YES it is a container! Every time you move your pelvis you are massaging these organs. So swing, sway, circle and do hip bumps with your pelvis and sense how much better you will feel!! As you dance through life, take opportunities to dance your pelvis...while you are cooking, circle your pelvis. As you walk, act as if you are wearing a skirt (yes even if you are a man), and sense how relaxed your lower back feels. Jump up from your desk and move your hips side to side to get the energy flowing in your spine!!!
So let’s dance from the inside out and seek ways of moving that keep your pelvis loose and agile, strong and stable. Our dancing this week will be powered with the music of Sacred Earth Drums. We will move our bodies to the sounds of drums, flutes, guitars, birds, and water. Grounding with earth and unleashing our creativity. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention your pelvis is the container of Chakras One and Two. HEE HEE...Let the magic begin! See you in class.
Start your dance with this treat to one of the Sacred Earth Drums songs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
