Awakening the Body

I began my day with the Spinal Motion series from the 60 minute GyrokinesisⓇ Stool Work.

It's truly rewarding to sit with the material and play around with new ideas that come to mind. 
As I went through each exercise I discovered visual cues that describe movement patterns and how the body could interpret the movement as it relates in daily activity, thus translating it in an accessible way for my clients and students.

Every body is different nevertheless GyrokinesisⓇ offers one a fundamental breakdown of basic movements such as bending, stretching, lengthening, pushing, pulling and so forth. 
Although size, shape, height and weight of clients may differ one thing that remains the same is anatomy,  the construct of the muscular-skeletal system and the energetic points of the body. 

The core principals of this movement modality is such that the each part of the body is designed to move in tandem, even without knowing the given names of bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons, arteries and so forth. One can gain a better understanding of it's function simply by participating in GyrokinesisⓇ Session.

During my teaching emphasize the importance of the dynamic, range and effort while participating in the exercise. The idea is to get a my clients acquainted with their bodies so that can rehabilitate concern areas, strengthen weak areas and expand their capacity for movement in all areas.
The way I do this is by establishing trust with my clients, building a relationship that will allow me as the instructor to help them reach their goals and finally to model my experience and success with GyrokinesisⓇ as a professional dancer to ensure a successful outcome for reaching their goals.

The Best of DC: Busyboys and Poets

 A STAPLE of Washington DC. For any Artist, happens to the be thee "Busboys and Poets". Yes, they serve Mambo Sauce here too.  This place is near and dear to my heart because it was where I got one of my first jobs while in my youth over the summer. I wasn't quite drinking age which was required for serving alcohol as a Waitress, but Terrance hired me anyway. There, I didn't quite get the essence of being within a TRIBE which is their model instead of "STAFF"--until after I left the job. But I loved it with every ounce of me.  I paid close attention to the flow of things and enjoyed the vibe of Mediterranean Culture mixed with Soul Food cuisine while local-made art hung on the wall and performed during the nearest open mic. I was enamoured by how the restaurant held the essence of DC right there it's nook: corporate lunches held in the terrance, indoor and outdoor seating for friends having happy house  a bookstore sponsored by Global Exchange--a non-pro...

The Encounter ||| ^^^ |||

Black History Month Dueces. 22 ---  I felt some type of way... I'd just finished Breakfast ~ A French/Kenyan Crepe, Potatoes + Grilled Tomato, Steamed Carrots w/ Mango Juice, and a sip of Black Coffee. I longed for the beach, but there was work to BE DONE -- the warm water and waves, kites flying in the air, and White Sand so soft you melt into it with each step. But all in all, I knew I had TO get to it! I came to Malindi - not to witness a wedding but a Playwright, an Artist, a Friend, a Host. And every day since I agreed to jump on board, I'd be rocking and rolling. Time is over the Essence. This weekend is the COOL DOWN>>> Watamu, a PLACE so LOVELY + Serene. Energizing & Free. Tomorrow, I book it. Nairobi. Then HOOME. <3 to MD. Day #1 Well, I made it. The Motherland. God willing ~ you cross the Atlantic Sea + Land Safely and discover that there is no reason to Fear. The images of poverty, lack with strips of refugee camp life, beggars and thieves -- enlarged...
