We all experience energy blocks in the body, causing us to suffer from fatigue, low energy levels, anxiety, lack of confidence, or simply the pressures of everyday life.  Imagine allowing your body to simply release it and let it go.  
 
Chakra Dancing isn’t your normal type of exercise class; it’s a dance therapy, a spiritual journey of transformation for your mind, body and soul.


If you’re not sure what chakras are, they are spinning wheels of energy located all over your body. We have thousands of them but the seven main chakras are located along our spine from its base to just above the head.  Each chakra is represented by a different colour of the rainbow and is associated with a particular part of the body.  Chakras also have a different vibration; from the root which has a heavy deep base vibration, to the crown which has a light angelic vibration.
 
Over time our Chakras can become blocked, causing us to feel low, run down and fatigued.  With a different piece of music relating to each of the 7 main chakra centres, this dance therapy will help you to release any blockages and leave you feeling energised and yet completely balanced within, improving your health and well-being - physically, mentally and emotionally.  
 
Through spontaneous free-form dancing, guided by an instructor, we can free up our natural energy flows to harmonise and balance the energy centres that run throughout the body, creating positive changes that you can really benefit from.
 
Best of all, there are no steps or routines to learn and no coordination is needed.  Just feel the music, let go and dance your own dance.  And because you dance your own dance, there are no expectations of you and no-one forcing you to do this or do that which makes it suitable for all ages, all fitness levels and all abilities.

How Fragile Is Life

It's been a while since my last blog.  But life has taken a rather exhausting route over the last few months.  My husband put his back out in August after lifting a role of lead.  It started out as  just a twinge of pain here and there, a reminder that he'd lifted something heavy.  We just thought with a bit of massage, a heat wrap and a trip to the Chiropractor the pain would eventually ease and he'd be back to normal within a few weeks.  We had no idea that after 10 weeks off sick, two trips to A&E and enough medication to start up a pharmacy, we would be waiting for him to go in for operation in a few days time.
But its got me thinking about how fragile our lives really are and how quickly everything can change.  Even though his back pain isn't life threatening, he doesn't have a terminal illness and after the operation he should be up and about fairly quickly, we have both been on an emotional roller coaster for the last 10 weeks which has left us both physically and emotionally exhausted. Thankfully we can see that end is in sight and we are both hugely relieved that it will soon all be over and he will be back to his normal self.
It's really brought it home to me how important all those things I teach my clients are to help them through those times in our lives when we struggle to cope.  We've both been listening to my hypnotherapy CD at night-times and he's still been cracking jokes and keeping us both positive and laughing through it all.
