Function

What if we took vision out of the equation?  What if our bodies were vehicles to help us enjoy our life and nothing more?  Our bodies are the most intricate and awe inspiring work of machinery.  They allow us to not only get to where we want to be but also provides us with physical pleasure of movement and expression.  Have you ever really "let go"?  I mean really let go?  It took me a LONG time before I could truly enjoy the freedom that comes with letting go through movement.  Your body wants to move.  It wants to feel the movement and express the feelings that come from hearing a fantastic beat or beautiful melody.  Our minds hold us back.  We don't want to look silly or feel foolish in front of other people.  What if nobody could see you?  Would you let go then?  Even if you don't think you have rhythm, even if you don't think you are coordinated there is a measurable freedom that comes when our minds let the body do what it was meant to do - move.  Endorphins release and we get a natural high.  What a gift!  Next time you are at THE EDGE - take a minute before class and tell yourself that "today I am going to be free of judgement in my own mind so I can enjoy the full benefits of this class".  Know that you are in a safe place with other like minded people who just want to have a great time and keep our most precious valuable - our bodies - in the best shape possible.  Reach a little longer, push a little deeper,  and maybe for just a moment you will feel completely free.
