Earth, Wind, Fire & Water!!!

Hello Friends!

This week in my Nia classes we will dance with the elements of earth, wind, fire and water as a way to tap into our movement creativity and connect to the 4 elements of nature that are the basis of life itself.  I have been drawn to this focus..(I actually started the focus yesterday in class)....with my transition from the mountains back to San Antonio.  Our city is hot and needs our prays, intentions and hope for rain and renewal.  As I was dancing yesterday I offered these intentions, as I also tapped into the richness the 4 elements brought to my body, mind and spirit.  As you go through your week, connect to these elements and what their potential can represent for all of us.

Earth:  Representing the grounding connection to our source, being here, NOW, in the moment, supported, yet moving.
Wind:  Representing the swirling power that moves and changes all things.
Water:  Representing that which gives us the power to move forward and remain receptive to all that is around us.
Fire:  Representing the passion to ignite self discovery, fueled by curiosity and change.

You can tap into these elements by sensing them in your body...which we will do in class.  Think of:

Earth:  Sensation of stability, fullness, weight, weightlessness, core, support, balance, rooting, connection with self, feeling outside/inside edges, breath
Wind:   Sensation of flexibility, bending, off balance, on balance, controlling, out of control, lifting, swirling, openness, lightness, being, being effected, blowing, filling spaces
Fire:  Sensation of agility, strength, heat, precision, flames, smoldering, intent, intense, sharp, confidence
Water:  Sensation of mobility, fluid, flowing, circular, no edges, no beginning, no ending, coolness, sensation of dripping, floating, creation, rejuvenation
 
The music will take you on a journey through various speeds and levels, and has the space for you to personalize as you move. So let's connect to our creativity, nature and just maybe with our intentions we can contribute to the renewal and coolness of our city!!
