Surprise Performance THIS Saturday

I know I know...it's always last minute..BUT if you don't already have SUPER exciting plans for this Saturday night, then you should make your way over to Saffron--the precious Moroccan restaurant I danced at last Friday.

I had such a great time last week and am very much looking forward to being back there again. So please come say hello and make this week's performance even BETTER than the last :)



Also...it was brought to my attention that it is a bit...tucked away...so be sure to glance at the map.

See you there!

Shimmies & smiles & hugs,

DEFINExpress: Want to re-energize your afternoon? This brisk paced class offers a condensed version of our DefineBody class in just 30 minutes. You will walk away feeling re-charged and ready for the afternoon from this efficient workout.

DEFINEbody: A perfectly balanced 60-minute class of strength, flexibility, and fun. This results oriented class combines Pilates, yoga, ballet, and core strengthening to target all the major muscle groups in the body. We use small hand weights, a ballet barre, a mat, and a ball to help you burn fat and lose inches. Breathe easy, our supportive instructors make class fun while focusing on proper alignment and form to help each of our clients, no matter what level of fitness they are at, look and feel their best.

DEFINEmind: A soothing 60-minute class focused on gaining flexibility, refreshing the body, and calming the mind. Set to relaxing music, this class will help melt away stress and relieve the tightness in the hamstrings, hips, shoulders, and more.  DEFINEmind is based on Yamuna Body Rolling, www.YamunaBodyRolling.com, a full body transforming system.  One of Houston’s best kept secrets!

Hope to see you in class!

Wishcasting Wednesday: What do you wish to step into?

On a small, specific scale...With the setting up of my own personal yoga/dance/creative space studio in my corner of the new house, I wish to step into my studio and and dive into a creative realm where I explore music, movement, meditation--any and every activity whose main purpose is to promote the growth of peace, serenity, creativity, and joy deep within my soul.

But really, I wish to step into life. Into life itself and everything that comes with it. I wish to step into experiences and adventures, both large and small, shared and personal. And I don't just want to step. I want to jump with both feet, or maybe even dive head first. A broad response perhaps, but right now I feel that everything is before me, and I'm overwhelmed with the excitement of possibility.
