Somatic Harmony

In sticking with the theme of celebrating the Year of Rabbit in the Chinese New Year, tonight our class focus is to create somatic harmony through our dance.

I read the following definition of somatic harmony in a textbook titled "Physical education: by muscular exercise" by Luther Halsey Gulick:

"Bodily symmetry is not so desirable as bodily harmony...Harmony exists when the different parts (of our bodies) are so related to one another as to produce a whole in which each part is exactly adapted to perfect co-operation with every other part. This is the highest ideal."

Join me tonight as we move with the intention to cultivate harmony within and/or harmonious movement with our physical bodies.

Class is from 6pm - 7pm at Delilah's Belly Dance Studio in Fremont.
