Tired of feeling helpless and worried? Here's how I'm taking control back.

A few days ago I reached a new level of worry... the stress of this COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the disruptions to life as I knew and loved it were wearing on me and I didn't know what to do. I almost jumped in my car and drove away (but quickly realized there was no where I could go). Instead, I found myself alone for a brief moment ... and I danced.

After just a little time on the dance floor, my perspective began to change.

I realized that I could use this time gifted to me to worry and mourn... or I could decide to make it an opportunity for massive growth and inspiration unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

I chose the latter. And I'd like to invite you to join me.

In this time of increased social distancing, we need our online communities more than ever! So I'm getting online and reaching out to you twice a week for a dose of connection, inspiration, joy and dance!

Tuesdays at 2pm CST Instagram Live | 30 to Thrive
Part pep talk, part check in and (of course!) a bit of dance - join me for #30tothrive on Instagram Live every Tuesday at 2pm CST. We will chat about how we are truly feeling and explore concrete ways to not only survive, but thrive in the current climate. Then I'll share a little belly dance lesson to help you keep moving through your day.

Saturdays (time TBA weekly) Facebook Live and Zoom Dance Party
Our weekly virtual dance party is growing! I have received so much positive feedback from dancers all over the world that I am expanding the party to include a Facebook live broadcast right before we start the dance jam. We are exploring several fabulous ways to infuse your quarantined days with joy and beauty. To join the live discussion just like my page on Facebook to get the notification each Saturday.

After we inspire our minds we will feed our bodies and jam out for 60 minutes on Zoom. To get the Zoom link and dance with us, just

1) Create a free account on my Teachable studio

and

2) Join my Sahira Belly Dances Teachable Tribe on Facebook. The link to the dance party is posted each week on Saturday morning.

Now more than ever, we need to reach out and connect with each other. We are in this together and we will dance through it together apart until we can truly be together again.

Stay safe and well my friends,
Sahira
