ooh. belly dancing is so up your alley! i know you will be an amazingggg belly dancer.
they are offering belly dancing classes at the senior center starting on 02/06 it made me think of you because it IS belly dancing, but also because it's your birthday! ;)
hee hee ♥ I took bellydance for a while a few years ago, but then my teacher quit and I haven't been able to find another who was close enough and inexpensive enough :-p
ohhh, you should totally take them if you can! :D bellydancing helps you connect with your body in a way nothing else does.
Oh.. Wow, what an absolutely mesmerizing ethereal and sacred sound, the hapi seems so right for you, and even more with the dichroic glass center - it seems very destined for you to find it! I am so glad you're finding strength again through exercise, I started walking every day a week and a half ago and I hear you on the increased breathing
Drums resonate really well with me too. I actually want a bohdran myself. The Hapi drum has a extrememly petty and, I dunno, visionary sound to it. I hope it doesn't take too long to save for your drum!
African drums are my thing. I discovered this when I took some African dancing lessons where they used real drums for the music. For years I thought I wanted to play regular drums. But like you, the structure really bothered me. Plus, African drums are so primitive and intuitive they really resonated with me. I want to get an authentic one, but it is something I have to save up for because authentic ones are expensive, but worth it

Well, I have been interested in yoga, but that feels like something I would want to do with someone, and in a structured way. By core strength I mean lower back, abdominals, hip flexors, and external obliques, all of which would be worked out by sitting on a balance chair, and I would also be able to use it while doing things on the computer. I think yoga will have to wait until I have someone to do it with, I just can't motivate to do it alone.

yeah! and not only stronger, but more alive somehow, like my spirit stretches out from the core to really fill all the spaces.

hmm, interesting! It makes sense too.
