I wrote this in March after a weekend of hooping and it got tucked away. Words in black text are those of Jonathan Baxter as I remembered them bouncing around in my head after a hoop path workshop in Calgary. This is dedicated to hoop sensei Baxter and hoopers, dancers, yogis and those in a body… in appreciation and gratitude.
When Bax says Sway
Press play and just sway.
Blindfolds on, feel your feet on the ground
Deep breath in . . . . aaaahhhh…
Move the left hand, the left hand, the left hand, the left hand
Move the right hand, right hand, right hand, the right hand.
Move the feet, feel the beat, sway
There is no wrong way.
This sway in…
Feel the music,
Let it move the body,
Free the body
Trust the body
Awake, awake, awake, awake
Open arms, open heart, open to infinity
Open, open, open, open
Move yourself
Free your Self
Trust your Self
Move, move, move, move
You are beautiful
My love, keep going, sway
Get out of your own way
Play, play, play, play
Move it
Feel it
Free it
Trust it
Be it
Sway it
Bust it
Own it
Dance
Take a chance
moving is healing
Feel all your feelings
no judgement, no shame, no blame
Just dance, take a chance
Heart rate up! Go get it! Go get it!
Air in, Air out, Breathe
Be here. Be here. Be here. Be here.
Regroovenating
Bounce out of tired grooves
Free the artist,
Free the badass
Free the dancer
Dance, take a chance
Sway. There is no wrong way.
Be soothed by the sway. Let hurts melt away
Who is it for?
For no one and for everyone,
For love, love, love, love
For connection to the real you
Dance the path
The path is the practice
Sway, to make your own way
Feel the real you
See the real you
Be the real you
Blindfolds off to the real you.
Be true.
Trust.
Sway
