Love- Dancer’s Pose
Love is one of my favorite words. It’s a concept so simple, yet so complex. Something we seek our entire lives while it simultaneously exists within us at all times. Love is energy, a vibration shared and experienced by all living things on Earth. It’s a language that is universal to us all. I chose the beautiful, heart opening Dancer’s pose as my expression of love because dancing is how I express my deepest self. Dancing is my language of love. When I’m dancing I feel free, I feel open, and I feel happy.
