Dance like EVERYONE is watching

Hello Goddess.

Firstly - if you're here. It means you've clicked onto my website and you chose to read this. So from the very bottom of my heart. And deeper still. Thank you. Thank you for being here. For supporting the Evolve Yoga ambition - to build each other up.

Ive been busy you know - planning and creating content. Everything from hints and tips to help you embrace your inner goddess to guidance on how to 'achieve' a yoga pose - (hint you NEVER fully arrive in a pose - there's ALWAYS something to learn every single time you move your body into a posture because EVERY time you experience it differently - with a totally unique set of thoughts, feelings and emotions) to deep and meaningful soul searching stuff to connect you to Yogi thought, philosophy and of course - to yourself.

Inspiration for todays little snippet comes from an evening spent with a my oldest friend - an evening spent well - laughing, dancing, being joyful - our last before I head off for a new life in the U S of A in a couple of days time.

So.... How many times have you heard the phrase - 'dance like no one is watching'. Often right? Ever thought about that? Does that inspire you to turn up your favourite song and show it who's arrived.

The joy of movement and dance - never ever allow yourself to forget what an absolute privilege it is to be able to hear the music and move your body.

So you're dancing like no one is watching - fabulous darling. Yes Queen - you do you.

Indulge me though - a few more sentences to offer a new perspective.

What if... we danced like EVERYONE is watching?

As a total and complete believer in moving your body in anyway that feels good for YOU on any given day - it doesn't matter how or when. Just move.

Dance in particular though - is how we humans might express joy, being alive, sensuality, sexuality even?!

I encourage you to step onto your stage. Be the star of your show. If you stumble - make it part of your dance. If you falter make it part of the routine. If you fall flat on your face in life - make it part of your sequence - to be followed by your climax! - Yes, in everyday my darling.

Feel your skin. Your body. Every lump, bump and beautiful contour on your stunningly beautiful and powerful physical form.

But I invite you to not just feel it, celebrate it, rejoice in the beauty that is you - to quote one of my favourite EVER songs - Everybody's Free by Bar Luhrmann -

'Enjoy your body, use it everyday you can

Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it

Its the greatest instrument you'll ever own'

Let me just be clear - this isn't about showing off or putting on a show for anyone else. This isn't about an outward display of movement for anyone's benefit. This isn't about impressing, its about expressing - who and what you are.

Let me tell you no one else has your superpower. No one else is you. No one else see's the world with your perspective, no one has experienced the same story. And for that very reason you have every right to shout from the roof tops how totally and completely divine you are.

Now remember - as you champion your stunning self - not everyone will enjoy dancing your dance. Sa'll good goddess (oh my gosh - I'm like a southern girl already). But honey - they don't have YOUR rhythm and you don't need them to dance to your jam!

Ever been solo on a dance floor giving it your all to a song that set your soul on fire but when you look round you're busting out a solo number? That. Is. Awesome. Embrace that feeling. You superstar you. You do not need them to dance to your jam - they just have to accept your right to dance! Yes - that's how we are gonna change the world you know. Spread the word. Just accept everyones right to dance. Celebrate it. Celebrate each other.

So each time I write to you dear reader... I'm going to set you a little challenge. A call to action if you will. Because I'd really like it if my ramblings had a positive impact on your world somehow.

My ask of you today darling. Is... put on your favourite song, put on your favourite outfit if it helps (your birthday suit totally counts), and DANCE LIKE EVERYONE IS WATCHING.

With no apologies - no reservations or hesitations. Be YOU.

Quick footnote.... Ive only just figured out recently who that is for me... bare with reader... more info on how to discover your inner goddess pending.

For now. Just dance.

My husband offered me a quote for this post.... I dismissed it... but actually....

'Dance like you're making love... and make love with the same energy you dance to favourite song' - in fairness... he isn't far wrong. Embrace your inner goddess.

I'd love to hear from you how you felt.... when you danced like everyone is watching.

Comments darling.

All my love - Kays x
