Dancing Kizomba does wonderful things for the BodyMind. It helps us learn how to ground with the way we transfer weight through our feet and soft knees, helps us to charge (or build energy in) the pelvis through a constant pulling back of the pelvis and to connect with a softened upper body (among many other BodyMind benefits).

It is equally important to recover from dancing Kizomba by releasing the psoas muscle (which is shortened when the pelvis is tilted backwards), opening the contracted lower back as well as redistributing energy evenly through the upper as well as lower body through postures for pulsation.

I focus on recovery as an important ending to each of my workshops and dance classes. We want the benefits of dancing Kizomba (and there are many) without any of the wear and tear from dance training.

Feeling a sense of strength and support in your feet and legs is the first step to building embodied resilience and a sense of BodyMind and relational safety.

Sayings like ‘standing your ground’, ‘knowing where you stand’, ‘putting your foot down’, ‘standing up for yourself’ and ‘standing on your own two feet’ all speak to the our collective intuitive understanding of the importance of our legs and feet in our way of being in the world.

Many of us have chronically tense feet, locked knees and weak legs, yet wonder why we feel like ‘the rug gets pulled out from under us’ or like we could be ‘pushed over with a feather’.

Doing a squat like this pushing through the feet into the ground (either with a friend or alone) while breathing deeply can help to build strength and energy in the legs. Doing some heel drops in this posture can also assist you to get a felt sense of your legs.

If you would like to explore how to develop your sense of resilience and internal safety, you can book a free 15 minute consultation or book an appointment, by emailing dana@bodymindinbloom.com

give participants an opportunity to explore embodied emotional expression. Sometimes we just need to let out our RRRRAAAWWWRRR! Growling can help to release blocks in the jaw, throat, and thorax and deepen breathing. It can also be a bit of fun!

If you feel you need an emotional or physical tune up, come along to the OpenFlow sessions on Monday night. You can find all the details at: https://www.facebook.com/events/2308098386177565/?event_time_id=2308098396177564?ti=icl

Bringing energy flow into blocked parts of the body can be as easy as gently drumming the body supported by breath. In through the nose and out with an ‘Ahhhh’ through the mouth. Simple, effective and feels damn good! and enjoy.

A chronic ‘holding up’ in our calves is one way our body blocks the energy flowing down into the earth to help us feel grounded, stable and safe in life and in dance. When we are grounded we have a greater sense of balance and wellbeing overall.

Rolling tennis balls against the back of your calves and ankles on a chair is one way we can help open this area for more energy flow downward. Simplest lay down, pop your legs up on a chair or low table to create a right angle with the knees with the buttock and back firmly on the floor and roll the tennis balls up and down the backs of your calves. Breathing in through the hose and out with a ‘ahhhhh’ (jaw relaxed) will support the release.

Be curious about any internal resistance you may experience. The things that you don’t feel comfortable doing (making noise on the breath out for example) often gives us the greatest insight into where our growth edge lies.
