Forgiveness. Sometimes it is an attitude you want directed your way, and sometimes it is a force that has to take shape within. Today, I dug in, to muster forgiveness after a week that contained very little dancing despite the countless benefits I’ve reaped from its inclusion. As I feel old habits and familiar folds try to take shape, I forgive myself for not getting it all right all the time. Tonight I dance because if I failed to forgive my best friend, I would be stuck, motionless, but full of negativity. Tonight I dance as an act of loving myself, flaws and all, forgiveness on fleek (or whatever the kids say these days). Sunshine and laughter. – Reza Rites

P.S. I hope you enjoy these leftover video snippets from last Sunday; join me in the stories for tonight’s “fresh and clean” vibes

Without glasses
Metaphysically lifted
With love

Sunday’s are for sangria and singing out-loud. At least this one is for me. Join me in the stories if you need a workout buddy, or vibe out to the attached clips from my last session – and from today’s home-making sangria. Sunshine and laughter. – Reza Rites

It may be customary to hold your NYE dance party at night, but through all the muck and fertilization-making of 2020, one big lesson I learned, over and over again, is that we are responsible for our own peace and party life – even if we are also open when offers come our way. To that end, I dance now to say goodbye to the year that’s been, and to rhythmically welcome the one at our doorsteps now. Sunshine and laughter. – Reza Rites.

P.S. enjoy the clips attached here, from Tuesday’s session, and join me in the stories for the fresh steps.

The lippy was meant to be festive. I think it could also serve as visual effects make-up, too.
