Sanity Break before Summer Session!

Ahhhhhh....I submitted my class grades just before the BOCA/Soul Yoga Movement and Wellness Expo. Dancing & yoga are always healing and fun at the BOCA Fest  founded by the ever-fab, Dr Amen. I think I'll stick to my typical morning yoga in the future, though. This time, I decided to start the day off with a "Brooklyn Bootcamp" bellydance session which was fun but, an awful lot of intensity for 7 am! Dr A came in serious and ready to work, too. There are no bistanders in her classes: No watchin' -- only dancin'!
 
I learned a tribal bellydance from Rossah this time (last year, I learned a trance dance called the Guedra which I found out later was, apparently, too much for some people). This dance had a lot of steps to remember (good thing there was a handout at the end: weza? sameha?).

There were also Q & As with a naturopath and biological dentist, reflexololgy, vendors, a host of workshops and, the usual delicious vegetarian fare. Oh, yeah, I got my eyebrows shaped by a guy with a straight razor (the razor, and the reality that I've never had my brows done by someone else before, makes my "first time" memorable ;)

Here are some other pics of some of  the action, they're also in the scribe sky photo section [courtesy of Kim Johnson of Urban Oasis Studios on Capital Hill]:

This was for redistributing the "junk in the trunk." I was near the back in this one.

And this was Performance Night which was standing room only! It was so hot and the tribal music was so loud that I saw my spirit animal! :D
