Grateful for My Feet - Hands that Touch the Earth!

Hello Dancing Friends!

Ahh...Thank You feet for supporting me as I dance through life and go about my day.  Thank You feet for bringing balance to my entire body, for grounding me and allowing me to move gracefully, efficiently and powerfully on the earth.  Thank You feet for giving me the gifts of running, jumping, skipping, hopping and dancing.  Thank You feet for providing me confidence, for when I sense your support from behind and underneath, you give me strength to stand tall and show myself to the world!   Thank You feet for your unique design of 26 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments,19 muscles and tendons, that provide me with a dynamic, mobile and stable foundation.  Thank You feet for your thousands of nerve endings, where I receive valuable information about my world. Thank You FEET!

And Thank You Nia for the beautiful barefoot workout that honors my feet, and provides unique steps, stances, kicks and feet techniques that nurture and heal my feet, while providing whole body conditioning.  Our focus in class this week...our beautiful feet.  Have you ever noticed when your feet are happy you are generally a happy person?  I know when my feet are cold, my whole body is cold.  When warm, I'm warm.  When tired, I'm tired.  Yes my feet create and tell my story.  One of the best things we can do for our feet is to listen to the messages they send and to respond in loving ways.  And a foot massage is a wonderful way to say Thank You!  Every night I massage my feet with lavender essential oil and I get the best night's sleep.  My feet are relaxed and happy, and so am I.

So join me in gratitude and dance of our feet this week in Nia.  Let's Step In...My classes this week:
