Right now I am slightly bored with the fitness side of life and can’t say that I have done much lately. My focus is more on yoga and although my physical side is improving, the spiritual side is not quite following. Well, it can’t be forced and I am sure it will all fall into place one day.
While searching the net for yoga teacher training, which by the way is a right pain for timings and fee, I stumbled across something that pulls me in a different direction again. This is not a good thing as I am to scattered as it is, but as some off it has elements of yoga in it I can use it as an excuse
.
Where am I going with this? Let me throw the word(s) belly dance into the ring. I want to stop you right there if you are thinking about the traditional type of dance. No disrespect to anybody, but that is really not my thing. Instead, I stumbled across some different forms that absolutely captivated me to the point that I want to learn it.

Sorry, I have to stop here. I could list so many more fantastic videos, but if you are interested just browse youtube.
I mention this in terms of yoga because the DVD’s that I just bought use a lot of yoga moves to warm up and to get supple. See, I still get my yoga done as well. Hm, maybe the only thing that I will get done as I have to left feet, but you never know. The good thing is that the town we might move to (more on that when I know what’s going on) has a belly dance school there. Yes, traditional dance and apparently good as a base, but they also offer some tribal, fusion, gothic style every now and then to learn. I am throwing words around that I really have no clue about how to connect them to the dance, but you get it when you surf youtube. There are some amazing dancers out there and I don’t find this style at all cheesy (like traditional belly dance. Sorry!) but mesmerizing and extremely sexy without looking cheap (like pole dancing or what ever).














This is exciting, M! I love tribal bellydance. And these women are beautiful. I think this may be just the thing you need! All love and magic, sister!

Hi B,
.
Nice to see you here. Well, as long as it is just a little bit on the side, because as my yoga teacher said: FOCUS. I am far to flighty and all over the place (vata) so I need to set goals to not spread my energy to far. Right now I am doing well with my yoga practice, but going grey training to find teacher training. They are either far away, far too expensive or the hours are ridiculous.
You need to come around here more often. I try ad keep it going at Hoopa Loop
