“Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempest.” Epicurus
Yesterday’s storm influenced this take away – “Speed is the illusion of Mastery.” An empowering martial arts take away from my self-care practice of stepping into Nature.
Self-Care: POWER 
Daily choice/action: Own your power ~ Every storm brings a fresh, new beginning.

Nia Move: Open Stance
Daily practice: Stand in place, with your feet hip width apart, and your toes pointed forward. Relax your feet and keep your knees flexible or spring loaded. This will help you balance. Practice by walking a few steps, then stopping in Open Stance. Imagine that you are standing on two railroad tracks. As you do it, vocalize the word balance. Practicing Open Stance improves hip-joint strength and flexibility, for increased comfort in moving.
