Hello Beautiful Ladies!
I hope you are all enjoying your summer, even through this extreme heat!
Make sure to keep cool and drink plenty of water!
1. I would like all of you beautiful ladies to start thinking about your personal "Goddess Name". This is a name you will use for your inner-most desires; It is a name for the woman underneath and beyond what people see on the outside. This is your inner Goddess! For example, My Goddess Name is Sphinx. I derive my name from a mixture of the mythological Sphinx of Greek culture, the Arabic Sphinxes, and the Egyptian Sphinx. All are considered unique creatures. They were usually represented as guardians that embodied wisdom, strength, and nobility. This represents my inner Goddess, the woman within! Your Goddess Name will allow many of you to "come out of your shell" and let your inner light shine! At Akasha Blonde, we welcome that inner light in abundance!
2. We are getting very close to having a location (or possibly several locations!) for classes and are working hard on getting some details finalized so that we can make official announcements. As soon as things are settled, we will be hosting an Open House where we hope to see all of you wonderful ladies in attendance!
3. When classes begin everyone will need to submit a “Progress Report” that we will provide and will need to be signed by your doctor. This form will help us to to ensure all students are placed in the proper low or high impact class, and that proper modifications to the program are made to prevent injury. You may want to start discussing this with your doctor now to ensure that our program is right for you. Some general topics to think about include the frequency, intensity, duration, limitation of muscles used while exercising, influence on treatments and side effects. Its very important to continue this physician–patient communication regarding exercise of any kind during cancer treatment through the class session, as this will be a key component to your overall health and making sure your body and mind are adjusting at a healthy rate.
4. Our website is coming together nicely and I have recently updated it to include photographs and video of a few past performances by Akasha Blonde. Feel free to share the link with your friends and family, as they will be included in a few of our future Haflas! (Hafla is the Arabic word for "party"!)
5. I have been very fortunate to have wonderful people in my life who have helped me with this, and I would like take a moment to give them a special thanks! Ioana and Dartanian are two of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life and am proud to call them my friends! Thank you both for all that you do for me, I am truly blessed to have you in my life!
Feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or general thoughts! I look forward to dancing with you all!
