Wiggling all the way to the soul

If you tried an Israeli Folk Dance class/ session ever before I am positive you had a pretty good workout. Don't tell me you danced the Hora at a Bar Mitzvah; that doesn't count :)

Israeli dancing is a fast paced, aerobic activity comparable to Zumba, Step, Jazz or else in that category.
It is unique in its kind since it adds meaning, tradition and references to the country; its history, struggles, victories, love for the land, religious background and not just the steps.
There's another component I believe has a crucial place in this program and it is the social one.
Now with all this and even if you just like the rhythm, people who choose to take on this course are opting for a healthier way of life.

Any kind of plan that takes our body and mind to a certain level of challenge connects us with what we can accomplish from the starting point.
When I exercise I can experience the physical difference after I finished; my mind feels the benefits as well and the best thing: I start programming my next workout in my head ! It's the nicest kind of addiction one can get :)
They say that being able to combine aerobic workouts together with low impact classes such as yoga, pilates, tai-chi is the best way to keep our bodies and minds centered.

No matter what excites you in terms of staying active, it will certainly make your blood flow better, your endorphins stay in good levels, your body flexible, your muscles stronger and most of all..your soul happy!
There are tons of options out there for you to try..moreover, some of which you may have never heard before. You don't have to commit right away. Give it a test; see how you feel, check your feelings to make sure you enjoy it and if you need help to get motivated you can always invite a friend to sample the choice with you..shared experiences get the thumbs up in life.


Have a relaxing weekend and don't forget to breathe :)

 Dance, swing your hand
you're in the rhythm
you're in the magic
dance, dance, dance.
