Today, while I was teaching my morning Nia class, I heard it.
The voice that is always there, but I never have time for it.

Perhaps there was a pause between my thoughts.

It said:
"Dance More"
(Dammit)

Ok, I added that last part.

If you have a similar voice,
with the SAME message,
you should come to my next

You are a natural dancer. If you don't believe this, somewhere along the line, someone told you that you weren't. And, you believed them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They have no idea what they are talking about. You have danced long before your feet touched this earth. And your dancer within, she just wants to groove.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sso turn on the radio and let her out. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She wants to play.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
She just wants to go to Nia. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How about you? You ready to groove with us?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What if... you simply loved getting up everyday because you knew you were dancing through life?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
At the Nia White Belt training, we learn that one can dance every day -- although not always on the dance floor. We call it dancing through life. And, it doesn't matter if it is a good day or a bad day. We learn that moving and living well are the same thing and that with the right tools, you can get through each and everyday, no matter what.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have been looking for a body & life training, and the tools to not just get through your day -- but thrive -- DM me or click on the link in my bio to learn more about my upcoming Nia White Belt trainings.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They start in early 2022. 2 choices: January 11th & February 10 (this one has a special theme, Navigating Life's Transitions that I am co-leading with )⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

One of the fastest paths to Joy that you can take, is through Gratitude. Wanna give it a try?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🚶🏻‍♂️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Simply close your eyes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take a breath in and out.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And think of someone, something or a place,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
that you are grateful for.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
😌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The feeling of expansiveness,⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
lightness, the natural smile on your face.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That is Joy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🙏🏻⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it's available to you all day long.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🧘🏽‍♂️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am grateful for those moments when I can walk in a favorite places, & listen to my Nia tunes. Especially when it is a new routine that I am learning.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
❤️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How about you? What are you grateful for today?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Share in the comments so we can give you some love.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

So there's Joy,
and then there's
HOT JOY!
🔥
The best part about Joy is that it has a volume. Sometimes just a little Joy is all you need.
☀️
And, then there are those days when only HOT JOY will do.
