Dance Dance
Well, this is it. The last journal for the semester. Time flies by so fast. Once again, it was a nice chill day, but it wasn't a total repeat of the previous class. We spent a lot of time talking about the techniques we've learned, like (1)alternative breathing, (2)getting the feet above the heart to shut off the parasympathetic nervous system ( Read more... ) -

Getting ready to go to class tonight, but wanted to comment on last Friday so I have a few less missing days in my journal ( Read more... ) -
Dance Dance
Well...a little less sore today and I had a nice talk with my teacher after class that helped reinforce my conviction not to return home without my degree, if I return at all. This is all related to the boundaries portion of the class that I kind of laughed off on Friday. She's right though. We need to set boundaries in life and to know when to ( Read more... ) -
Dance Dance
We used therapy balls this week (4/29/13), and while the bouncing was incredibly fun, my thighs hated me. Especially the muscles on the top between knee and hip. I'm a little less sore, but I still feel it in the lower abs...which fits since that's what we were supposed to be working. The aforementioned thighs however burned way too much for me ( Read more... ) -
Dance Journal
One again I've forgotten to make some logs here, but I'll try to play catch up. Most of the past three weeks was us covering our mandalas. It was really quite fascinating to hear all the stories and to see how we all ended up where we are today. Quite a few students felt they'd done nothing to be all that proud of, but as our teacher said. We' ( Read more... ) -

I fell off the wagon a little on my dance journal so I thought I'd post real quick while I wait for my mandala to print. I had a lot of fun during the mimic portion. Now I can say I know the chicken dance! And I wasn't scared at all during the Soffi (sp) portion where we blindfolded ourselves and danced to the music. I enjoyed dancing for my ( Read more... ) -
Stress Management Journal #2
Okay, so I'm really late writing for entry 2, but it's been a stressful week. Anyway, this week we worked with foam rollers. I learned that although I love them for my back, said foam rollers hurt a lot more often than they feel good, at least thus far. It was actually quite painful in a lot of places. So much so that I wouldn't want to repeat ( Read more... ) -
Dance Journal #1
Okay, so I'm taking a physical education class called "Stress Relief Through Movement" the description made me think it would involve yoga, stretching and "rhythmic movement". Yes, looking back I know I should have realized that meant dance, but I wasn't expecting it at the time ( Read more... ) -
Yaoi Con
Whelp, that's it...yaoi con is over. I didn't get to spend the entire weekend here, but I still enjoyed it regardless. I'll be sending photos and spanking footage to my fellow evil yaoi girls. -
Yaoi Con
The change of location from SanFran to Long Beach might be disappointing to the San Francisco natives, but it means I get to cross "attend Yaoi con" off my bucket list. The first couple days have been frustrating since I got in late due to school and such, but so far I'm still having a ball. In fact I just got out of the panel with HamletMachine ( Read more... )
