Sun Dance Series - Beach Dance

9/8/2017

0 Comments

 
As we soak up the last few days of summer, I keep thinking back to the beautiful time we spent on the beaches of Penticton in July. Recently I have heard about the surprise beach that magically appeared in Downtown Edmonton after a construction project washed a bunch of sand into an shallow and slow running area alongside the river. With this warm September weather, I am SO hoping to make a family adventure to this surprise beach, but for now I can imagine to be there with this super awesome beach dance.

If you missed the first post in this series, you'll want to have a look at it as it will give you the background you need to best use our newest addition to the Sun Dance Series. 

Stretch up high, wave to the bright blue sky
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, sweep the sand from your toes
(Forward fold, reaching down for your toes & pretend to sweep sand from your feet)
Feet jump back, onto your orange surf board
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Belly down, let's paddle all around
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground, move from side to side as you paddle your arms, pretending to swim through the water)
Look up at the warm yellow sun
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose
Now look back a the white waves
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
 & breathe & breathe & breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose, filling the belly BIG like a balloon when you breathe in, letting all the air out when you breathe out - see if you can make the sound of the ocean waves in your breath)

Feet jump up, back onto the warm yellow sand
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, make a castle by your toes
(Straighten the legs, forward fold & pretend to build a castle)
Stretch up high, wave to the birds that fly by
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head & wave)
Now Beach Pose!
(Create your own cool/silly/awesome beach pose)

I hope you LOVE this one and find the time to slip it into your last days of summer! Stay tuned for our next post on a fall dance.  Until then, be bright, be bold, be you! Sending bubbles of love to all of you.  

Vanessa
