Thanks guys.
It just killed me last year watching my class at the recital instead of being up there with them. It felt so good to be up there again.
You know, it's funny what passion for something will do. Throughout the last almost six years, I've gone through rebellious periods when I wouldn't take my supplements, or I wouldn't exercise as much as I should. But the two things that never got shunted to the sidelines were my Flamenco and pilates. Nothing does for me what these two activities do. I always feel better after one of these classes. It doesn't matter how wretched I feel, after an hour of class I'm a different person. Flamenco in particular.
I've had far too many days when the thought of going to class just made me cringe. I felt horrible, in tons of pain, emotionally blue, all I wanted to do was hide in my house and die. I would make myself go to class regardless and it never failed to help. My thoracics loosen up, my shoulders, my neck, my hips, not to mention it's an amazing distraction. For an hour, I focus completely on the dance, not on how horrible I feel, then I walk out of the studio feeling great - loose, breathing more easily, better mood. It's the best therapy ever!
Besides, I love the dresses!
Many hugs,
