WHY CAN’T WE SEE OURSELVES AS WE REALLY ARE?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Women are socialized in Western societies to believe their bodies are never thin enough.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our sense of self-image develops through a complicated interplay between cultural ideals, life experiences and accumulated comments by others. The result is, inevitably, a distortion of reality.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our perceptions of ourselves are not objective. They are really tinged and colored by the emotional experiences we have had.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Looking forward to my interview with @caitlinballhealth⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ next week which you can hear on her podcast soon! We’ll be talking about about body image and how belly dance can help you feel good about your body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What helps you to appreciate yourself as you are?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ *⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ @caitlinballhealth @michaelbaxter3218 #bodypositive #bodyconfidence #bodypositivity #selflove #selfcare #bodylove #bodyrespect ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sent via @planoly #planoly
All that glitters...My all time favourite costume by @emanzakiofficialpage What’s your favourite costume and why? #gold #bellydancecostume #emanzaki
Did you know that high heels were originally made exclusively for men? The origin of high-heels can be traced back to 15th century Persia when soldiers wore them to help secure their feet in stirrups. Persian migrants brought the shoe trend to Europe, where male aristocrats wore them to appear taller and more formidable. * They might look great but wearing high heels all day every day can actually cause some serious problems with your feet. When you’re in any kind of shoe that has elevation or a heel, your weight gets shifted forward to the ball of the foot. The higher the heel, the more weight and pressure get shifted forward. Your knees and hips then have to push forward and your back has to hyperextend backwards to counterbalance. This can translate to leg, hip, and back pain. It misaligns the whole skeleton and that’s in a nutshell why it's really bad for you. * When bare, feet can move as intended, receiving important information from contact with the ground. Muscles, nerves, sensations and reflexes atrophied by shoes are reawakened, activating body alignment, balance systems, strength, and reflexology points. Through conscientious exercising of the feet, this foot foundation class conveys how to harness foot strength throughout the body. Benefits include: improved proprioception, posture, fitness power, and physical health, as well as decreasing common pains and injuries in feet, knees and hips. * GEORGETTE DUTOIT // "ON YOUR FEET" - FOOT FITNESS WORKSHOP @pedipower * Sunday, November 25, 2018 // 10:00 12:00 * https://www.zeot.ch/workshop-kalender/2018/11/25/georgette-dutoit-on-your-feet * Photo: A 17th century Persian riding boot. * #fascia #headtotoe #bodyconnections #headache #headacherelief #superficialbackline #anatomytrains #healthyfeet #swisslife #zürich #barefootstrong #willpowermethod #footfitness #barefoot #barfuss #feetness #healthyfeet #wholebody #nerveendings #plantarfasciitis

No, I can’t dance, I can barely move. I love Latin music, but I don't think that I can move my hips like that". In my experience as a salsa teacher, I've heard this sentence many times! As soon as I convinced people to give it a try, they could feel such power inside them and felt more beautiful, capable; things seemed to fall into place. Both men and women could express the same feeling of having achieved something. * A big thank you to Alessandra Patti, founder of FindYourWay Coaching for our new blog. Alessandra is passionate about salsa dancing which she uses as an ‘anti-stress tool’!

INTENTIONAL PRACTISE – WHAT IS YOUR FACE SAYING? *** Dancing is an overall body experience, and that includes our facial expressions. Sometimes when we’re concentrating on getting the choreography right, we forget that our face might be expressing the exact opposite of what we want to convey with our dance (pain instead of joy! frustration instead of release! scary smile instead of a natural one!). It’s important to take a moment and focus on this, as it can take away from your performance. *** Next time you’re practising, try focusing all your attention on your facial expressions as often as you can. If you notice that your face muscles are tense, help release them by making exaggerated expressions (open mouth widely, lift eyebrows, move your jaw, etc. – it may not look glamorous but will help in the long run ). Repeat as often as needed. Make sure you also understand the music and the lyrics, what the tone is – that’s crucial in determining what emotions your body, face included, should show. *** Above all, don’t be afraid to lose yourself in the dance and let your emotions light up your face! *** For more on intentional effortful practice and other tips make sure to check out our blog: https://www.zeot.ch/blog/2018/10/8/5-tips-to-improve-your-dance-technique- immediately *** #zeot #zurich #danceschool #dance #orientaldance #intentionalpractise #facialexpressions #dancerexpressions
MAHMOUD REDA’S LEGACY * Coinciding with the theme of Kp6 at ZeoT Zürich - folkloric dance, we asked dancer Ingrid Selkis to tell us more about the journey of Egyptian folk dance onto the stage, a process that owes itself largely to the pioneering work of Mahmoud Reda.

DON’T STOP SHIMMIN’ * Ever wondered how to achieve that “wow-is-that-an-earthquake” type of shimmy? * If you’re feeling a bit stuck, we’ve got you covered! Check out the advice in our blog post: www.zeot.ch/blog/2015/12/17/how-to-improve-your-shimmy * As with anything, practise makes perfect! Even practicing in front of the TV helps! Simply sit down on the floor, legs stretched in front of you, sitting up straight. Flex your toes and alternate lifting and lowering your knees, as if you were trying to hit the floor with the back of your knees. ***Netflix and shimmy, anyone?*** * #zeot #zurich #danceschool #dance #orientaldance #dailypractice #shimmy #letloose

LET YOUR HAIR DOWN! * Khaleegy is a joyful, lively, expressive, gestural and delicate dance performed in events involving happiness and celebration (like weddings). Women dance in complicity and it is often started with one of them standing alone in the dance floor to begin the dance, and then the others join her. The main movements of Khaleegy are done in a very feminine and rhythmical way. The main body parts involved in the dance are the hands, the head and the thobe itself; dancers move it to create undulating figures resembling the sea waves. The hands also make figures with different meanings: representing sea creatures like fish or turtles or they also can represent feelings. The hair, apart from the thobe is the main element used to dance Khaleegy: women let their long hair “dance” moving it from side to side, back and forth, in circle and making other figures. The meaning of this dance is related to the sea and water (because of the Persian Gulf and fishing) another of the objectives of Khaleegy is showing the region´s beauty, richness and the importance of petroleum. * Khaleegy or Khaliji (from Arabic خليج) is a mixture of modern style and traditional folkloric dance from the Persian Gulf, Arabic peninsula and the countries of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The name of the dance literally means “gulf” in Arabic and is just one of the folkloric dances we’re studying during the next 8 weeks at ZeoT Zürich. In Kuwait it is called Samri (Saumri); and in the UAE it is called Raks Al Nasha’ar (pronounced “rocks all nuh SHAH ar”), which may be referencing the woman tossing their hair to the rhythm. * Come for a free trial class to try it out!

Cover girl for a day!
The foot is one of the most overworked, under-appreciated parts of the human body. Think about it: In a single day, the average person takes 8000 to 10,000 steps. That works out to be four trips around the world over a lifetime. * OUR FEET ARE HOME TO ABOUT A QUARTER OF ALL THE BONES IN OUR BODIES. There are 26 bones in each foot—one less than in each hand. When we’re born, those bones are mostly cartilage. The bones in our feet only completely harden around age 21. * THE BIG TOE USED TO BE A KIND OF FOOT THUMB. This grasping toe helped our predecessors climb trees and, when young, grip onto their mothers. Thanks to modern science, if you lose your thumb, you can now replace it with a toe: toe-to-thumb transplants are a surprisingly common procedure these days. * WOMEN HAVE FOUR TIMES AS MANY FOOT PROBLEMS AS MEN. That painful fact is often attributed to wearing heels. Ironically, Western women started wearing heels to effect a more masculine look: European men adopted the look from Persian warriors in the 17th century, and women soon followed suit. * THE AVERAGE PERSON WALKS ABOUT 100,000 MILES IN A LIFETIME.  That’s a lot of stress on our feet. It’s not surprising, then, that lower back pain, headaches, indigestion and spine misalignment are often related to foot problems. Some runners blow way past this mark: They've logged at least 100,000 in running miles alone. * Foot facts taken from: http://mentalfloss.com/article/72021/14-funky-facts-about-feet * Interested to know more and improve your foot health?
