THE TIME IS NOW. Do you ever think (or feel) ‘I

THE TIME IS NOW. Do you ever think (or feel) ‘I am too old (or: it’s too late) to start with… xyz ?’

Don’t believe that thought.

There is more learning potential in each of us.

We can change, evolve, grow.

Learn new skills.

Change our habits for the better.

Update how we view ourselves and the world.

Even as adults. Especially as adults.

- I started working in IT at 21
- I took on belly dance at 23
- I started taking adult ballet classes at 27 (cross training!)
- I began studying/performing/teaching bellydance full time at 32
- I joined my first taekwondo class at 36
- I started taking pointes classes at 37 (thanks to taekwondo 🙏🏻 I’ll share more on this later on)
- I began studying korean sword art (haidong gumdo) at 39

And today, at almost 42, I am preparing for my second degree black belt test in taekwondo (it’s TOMORROW! 😱)

A bit surreal, right?

I would have never known that this was possible without taking on that very first try-out class.

The lesson?

It’s never too late.

Take that class.

Read that book.

Sign up for that course.

Follow your interests.

Pursue whatever makes your heart beat faster.

Simply start.

Invest in yourself.

Life is short.

You may as well learn a thing (or two!) while you are here.

Right? Right.

It time/age/duration were not an issue, what would you love to learn/start/do right now?

PUMPKIN SOUP - Yess, it’s that time 🎃 I want

PUMPKIN SOUP - Yess, it’s that time 🎃

I wanted to re-share this recipe from my blog, but I just realized I haven’t actually posted it there yet 🙈

It’s super easy (even for me 😄 it’s my favourite soup) Healthy, hearty, warming, and delicious!

You can adjust the amounts depending on the pumpkin size 👌🏻

(or use whatever you have at home, it will still work)

Here goes!

What you‘ll need:
(Serves 4 Peeps)

INGREDIENTS
- a few tablespoons of olive oil
- 1 pumpkin (any kind you like, I use hokkaido of +- 1KG because that’s what they have at Aldi 🎃✨)
- a bunch of onions and/or shallots (whatever you have, I used 2 red onions and 8 shallots)
- garlic (2-4 cloves, or more if you like it strong 🧄💪🏻)
- red chili peppers (2-4, or more if you like it extra spicy 🌶🌶🌶🌶)
- fresh ginger (4 cm)
- a few stalks of lemongrass (fresh or dried)
- veggie broth (1 Litre)
- coconut milk (800ml)

SEASONING (optional, but yummy):
- a bit of cilantro (or koriander)
- a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds
- pinch of salt

PREPS:
- peel, deseed & dice your pumpkin (& weigh it)
- peek & roughly chop onions, shallots, garlic & ginger
- de-seed peppers (unless you like it SUPER HOT 🥵😅) plus wash the lemongrass (if it’s fresh) and finely chop both

ACTUAL COOKERY:
- heat olive oil in pot
- add shallots, onions, garlic, ginger, & the chili pepper (or cayenne powder) + lemon grass
- sauté (stir on medium-high heat) for a few minutes until the things start to soften
- add the broth and coconut milk
- stir once more, keep an eye on the pot until it starts to boil
- close the lid, and continue to let it simmer on low heat for about 20 more minutes
- once the pumpkin us squishy, take the pot off the heat, and blend you soup until.. blended

SERVE with (optionally)
- a bit of cilantro (or parsley, if you’re into that)
- a pinch of salt
- roasted pumpkin seeds

ENJOY!

Let me know if you try this (and how you like it!)

STOP AND SMELL THE.. what?

Two questions for you today:
🌸 What are you thankful for right now?
🌸 Do you know what these gorgeous flowers are called? (They’ve been blooming wildly for weeks in our neighbour’s back yard)

It’s crazy how the smallest things (like how the light shines through these flowers) can sometimes catch you by surprise, right in the heart 🌸💕✨

Wishing you an amazing earth-spin 🌎 and keep an eye out for those little (big) things around you today 🌱👀✨

SEPTEMBER - This is where we make decisions 🌚 W

SEPTEMBER - This is where we make decisions 🌚 What can you let go of to make space for the new?

Trees are still green here 🌳 yet the leaves are starting to turn 🍂

How does this happen?

Choices.

Priorities.

Nature is letting go right now of what’s not needed. Saving energy.

But also.. It’s putting that energy into the new.

Did you know trees already build their spring buds before the leaves are falling? (I didn’t)

Think about it.

The best things in life require us to actively make space for them.

How about you?

What no-longer-needed set of actions, thoughts, habits, choices, self-talks, environments are right now eating away at (or blocking) your energy, creativity, joy? 🍂

🍃 What are the things you’d like to let go of this month?
🍃 Where would you like to invest that saved energy once you do?

If you like, please share your thoughts in the comments below!

(I will add mine in the comments, too)

PS: This post (and about 99% of the things I am posting on IG this year actually 😄) is inspired by @delanna_probellydance 🔥

I am currently taking her @kickass_kurs IG Creativity Course (in German, I love it 🤯) and there’s a second round of it happening this November/December

CHECKING IN - Hello, how come it’s already Septe

CHECKING IN - Hello, how come it’s already September? 💕👀

How are we doing right now.. How are YOU doing?

- What are you working on?
- How do you feel?
- What are you happy with?
- What will you give yourself this September?

Please share in the commments below! 🌸

For me, the days between summer and fall are one of the favorite times of the year.

I can feel the energy shifting.. from outwards to inwards 🌘

August has been a month filled with action and inspiration.

Teaching BOOST (so much love!) as well as being part (participant and guest teacher) of @delanna_probellydance ‘s @kickass_kurs have both filled me with joy, energy and more inspiration than I can manage to process 🙈

It feels like the perfect time for a break.

I’ve learnt this the hard way..

When I get inspired, I can work work work (haha) and create non stop.

It’s NOT sustainable.

Things start falling by the wayside (important ones, those that replenish me the most)

Relaxing, reading, meditating, gentle stretching, time in nature..

And I feel it.

My body starts getting aches, I feel less moveable.

My mind feels restless.. sleep suffers.. I start to worry about smaller things..

And Im noticing that I’m checking my phone just a tad too much.

Not so good, right?

Do you recognize this? 👀

..The solution is easy.

(Re)balancing is a matter of.. HABITS

If I have time to check my phone.. I have time to do healthier-for-me things. Right?

So how do we know what to do?

Listen in.

For me journaling helps enormously.
Writing it out. It helps me focus.

Getting enough rest/sleep (I’ll write more on this later on!)

Drinking enough water

Moving gently

Reading an actual book

The Essentials

If I do these things, I feel more calm.

More clear.

And it helps me make better choices overall.

Sooo.. Inspired by miss @delanna_probellydance I’m officially declaring September to Self-Care Month

Giving myself 30 Days to build a healthier, sustainable MORNING ROUTINE:

✅ A warm beverage (coffee or tea 🫖)
✅ A bit of journaling
✅ At least 5-10 minutes of gentle movement

Will you join me? What do YOU need?

Let’s cheer each other on 🌸
#selfcareseptember #khalidaonline

INSIDE BOOST (6/6) This is what you’ll see when

STRENGTH (5/6) - The other side of the movement co

STRENGTH (5/6) - The other side of the movement coin 💜

What is movement, anyway? 🤓

A lengthening and shortening of our muscle fibres.

‘Strength/power’ is how many of these fibres we can shorten at a given time, ‘flexibility/relaxation’ is how many of them we can lengthen.

‘Moveability’ is the ability to do both the lengthening and shortening.

‘Balance/Coordination’ is when we are able to employ just the right amount of each, in the places needed, at the time needed, for any given movement task.

‘Fluidity’ is timing it all optimally.

💜 All of this can be practiced, changed, with movement.

Smart strength/mobility work, combined with proper recovery/rest time can really make a world of difference in your quality of movement.

You will feel the difference immediately AND gradually over time, in dance, and in life.

It can all be learned. It is never too late.

Right? Right. 💜✨

PS: That being said.. Keep an eye out for today’s BOOST REEL #4 👀

I have some neat Arm Strengthening Exercises for you, waking up the Triceps (aka Bingo Wings! 😄👌🏻✨)

To get to know more about my BOOST Program, tap the link in my Bio @khalidabech and feel free to Comment/DM me your questions! 💜💌

#boost22

FLEXIBILITY & DANCE (4/6) What is the connection?

FLEXIBILITY & DANCE (4/6) What is the connection?

It’s all about the ability to move freely 💜

If we can move all our joints freely (as our bodies are designed to do) ,and do this more often, in more ways, everything else tends to fall into place.

In daily life, over time, our movement habits (or non-movement!) and our movement (or injury) history can accumulate so much tension in our bodies (and minds) that coming back to a more balanced posture is more a matter of relaxation/letting go than of ‘efforting’ our way through.

Ask me how I know this.. I’ve had to learn it the other way around 😅💜✨

Another ‘side effect’ of relaxation is that it unlocks your power.

One of the ways I keep re-learning/re-discovering this, is through martial arts training.

Relaxation, speed, power, flexibility, effortlessness and strength.. it’s all interlinked.

Let go of unnecessary (or no longer necessary) tension, and your strength/power increases, too.

Interesting, huh? 🤓💜✨

More on that in the next post.

(And more on my BOOST Program via link in my bio @khalidabech )

#boost22

(3/6) So.. What’s in the BELLY OF THE BOOST? W

(3/6) So.. What’s in the BELLY OF THE BOOST?

What is BOOST about?

The easiest way to describe what we do would be.. Using the Power of Movement to improve your Dance 💜

There’s a bit of movement geekery involved (Powered by self-experiments, learnings from Ballet and Martial Arts studies, and.. BOOKS! I love them all - the one shown is ‘Anatomy Trains’ - See REEL nr 1 for the Link 🤓💜)

We work with Strength for activation (Mondays), Flexibility/Relaxation for coordination (Tuesdays) and then we apply these new sensations to DANCE (Fridays)

Simple, but (to me!) surprisingly effective.

I am still amazed at the changes that even the gentlest movement ‘tricks/tips’ can kick into motion (har)

Movement really is powerful. We are meant to learn by moving, experiencing, sensing.

In BOOST we try to do just that. Not choreographies, but a focus on (re)connecting with our bodies, our movements, from the inside out.

Practical Magic 💜

We apply all this to one ‘small’ dance theme per week (hands, wrists, posture), combined into a ‘big theme’ per month

To keep it doable/accessible, each session is only 30 minutes long, and you can join them Live (via Zoom or FB) or simply catch up with recordings at your own pace.

The recordings will stay yours forever 💜🥳✨ (I know there are pros and cons to this approach, but at the moment I see more pros 😄)

The BOOST Themes will change next year, so it makes sense to make this year’s recordings available ‘for keeps’

What else? Hmm.. I think that is the main essence.

My aim is to empower Boost participants (aka BOOSTies!) to re-discover for themselves what is posssible.. to let go of ‘what I can/cannot do/learn/discover’

It is to bring back a sense of hope, limitlessness, and joy of learning through movement, forever (or at least for as long as we are here) 💜🥳✨

If you are curious to learn more - and/or have any questions about BOOST, tap @khalidabech bio link and feel very free to PM me (or comment)

I’d be happy to respond 💜

PS: BOOSTies, if you read this.. how would you describe the experience of BOOST? 👀🦖💜✨

#boost22

BOOST UPDATE (1/6) - Sooo.. as you may have seen,

BOOST UPDATE (1/6) - Sooo.. as you may have seen, I am closing #BOOSTProgram Enrollments for this year(!) on Sunday 👀

Why? Two reasons - all of them good ☺️💜✨

Firstly, when I started the BOOST Program, just over a year ago, I couldn’t imagine how much joy, positivity, hope, growth and inspiration it would bring.

Not just for the brave participants (aka BOOSTies😄), also for me!

A year ago I wasn’t sure whether:
1. I would keep teaching BOOST for longer than a few months (and now I have plans and ideas for NEW themes for at least two more BOOST years 😅)
2. Dancers would enjoy/appreciate/find use in the classes/BOOST concept (the feedback has been overwhelming, even from those who are simply working with recordings, and I have seen some small miracles happen right before my eyes in the ZOOM sessions, too 👀 True transformations!)
3. Anyone would even sign up for BOOST at all 👀 (oh my lordy dudes, we are now 75 BOOSTies strong already 😳😱🦖💜✨ I so love you all!)
4. I could stay inspired enough to keep on going after one year (see above, so much inspiration already 😄💜✨)

It’s limitless 💜

I am still learning with you all as we go, getting inspired by what we see/feel/explore, and I am looking forward to take it even FURTHER into unexplored BOOST dance topics in the future editions 👀

This will take me some time, and focus, to prepare - and that is one reason I will CLOSE enrollments for Season 3 this Sunday 💜

For new BOOSTies to feel warmly welcome and free to ask questions, I give full energy to all who sign up - and for my BOOSTies already signed up, I do my very best to answer questions and give guidance where needed.. for this I need to make time as well, so.. I am ‘shoring things up’ (again!) in order to preserve the BOOST quality while I prep for next year’s edition 💜

Secondly, the exercises we have been doing the past 3 weeks (Posture! Arms!) are proving to be SO valuable for the rest of this Season (Props!) that I want new BOOSTies to be able to catch up at ease 💜

So there you go. We close THIS Sunday, and.. you can still join right now (go to @khalidabech to sign up!) 💜

#boost22

SOO.. what’s coming up next? I’ll be experim

SOO.. what’s coming up next?

I’ll be experimenting a bit and ‘keeping it REEL’ for the following 4 Weeks.

What does this mean?

I’ll be sharing some of my latest insights, ideas, quick tips and dance-alongs inspired by Season 3 of BELLYDANCE BOOST.. in the shape of REELS 👀🦖💜✨

I’ve already been kind of doing this.. but not (yet) exclusively 🤓

So.. let’s give it a go!

Here are a few of the upcoming topics:

💜 My favourite Dance Books
💜 Bye Bye Bingo Wings!
💜 How to feel your Hands
💜 No Wrist Weights? No Problem
💜 Hands Dance-Along
💜 Arms Dance-Along
💜 3 Tips for Usings Straps

Can’t wait!

Which one of these are you looking forward to the most? 👀

Do you have any wish-topics (about Hands & Arms) that you’d like me to include in the next REELS recordings?

Let me know in the comments below! 🤩💜✨

What is BOOST?

It’s my Online Strength - Flexibility - Dance BOOST Program 🤩🦖💜✨

I’ve been teaching online classes in this unique format since last year.

We practice gentle Strengthening and Relaxation Exercises from Physiotherapy, Ballet and Martial Arts on Monday & Tuesday and we apply the benefits of these to different Bellydance Techniques on Friday

Its’s Strength - Flexibility - DANCE

What’s the Season 3 Theme?

IN THE CURRENT 12-Week Series we work on Posture, Arms & Props (the Essentials! 💜✨)

CAN I STILL JOIN?

Yes, until 1st of August, see @khalidabech bio link!

WHAT ARE REELS?

Super short videos made with Instagram where you can add popular songs, effects, themes & transitions

WHY USE THEM?

REELS are fun to make, easy to share, and a great way to share useful tips in a fast, creative, and (hopefully 😅) entertaining way.

I love making them - and I love that they help me share the word about my BOOST Program.

So BOOST-REELS it will be 😄💜✨

Keep an eye out for the first REELS the coming days, and as mentioned - I am taking requests for the next BOOST-inspired REELS Series.

Share your wishes below! 🤗💜✨

APPRECIATION - When something unexpected happens..

APPRECIATION - When something unexpected happens.. it reminds us of how easy it is to take ‘simple’ things for granted.

Electricity, running water (drinkable or not!).. If you can read this, chances are that you already have one of these luxuries, or both.

What would you do without? How would you adapt?

Do you appreciate them a bit more after reading this?

Comment a 💜 if yes!

#appreciation #life #thoughts #love #water #electricity #luxury #nature #green #earth #humanity #dance #lifeisshort #appreciate #enjoy #live #move

By the way..

You truly value life more once you realize you (and everything/everyone around you) will not be around here for a long time.

Life is short. Best to live it fully. Enjoy what is.
Release what is not.

Let’s do our best not to take anything (or anyone!) for granted.

Agreed?

Let me know 🌿 if this feels True to you.

RECHARGE - Take a moment to.. Breathe. Relax.

BOOSTIE REACTIONS 💜 Swipe to see what I saw 👀 after our very first 2 Sessions of Strength - Flexibility - Dance BOOST Season 3 💜🥳💫✨

It is deeply heartening to know that the exercises (and experiments!) we are doing in BOOST are truly helpful 💜

And all this after just two quick 30 minute sessions!

Sometimes it’s like this. Results can grow over time, but big shifts and ‘clicks’ can also happen within seconds.

It’s a matter of experiencing the movements WHILE we are moving..

💜 MAGIC 💜

I cannot WAIT to see (experience!) what the next 12 weeks of BOOST Season 3 will do 🦖👀💜💫✨

A HUGE thank you to all our ‘live’ and ‘self study’ BOOST Season 3 Participants who joined so far.

(There’s 72 of us already!Amazing 🤩💫🦖🌿💜✨)

I SO deeply appreciate that we can ‘do dis’ 💜🤗💫✨

RELEASE - This is an example of what we do on Tuesdays during BOOST Relaxation/Flexibility..

A snippet of our free Double Veil BOOST taster workshop last weekend - Gravity arms!

💜 Lay on your side
💜 Arm toward ceiling (‘heavy’)
💜 Roll your shoulder (both ways)
💜 Circle your elbow
💜 ‘Lazy circle’ your full arm
💜 Pause and breathe deeply wherever you feel you need to spend a bit more time

Voilá!

For fun, try only one arm first and compare how your arms/hands/shoulders feel on each side afterwards.

ENJOY!! Feels so good
🤗

Makes for an instant mood boost (HAR!), too 🥳💜✨

We start THIS Monday (12th of July) - All levels welcome 💜

FLEXIBILITY - We all are longing for flexibility i

FLEXIBILITY - We all are longing for flexibility in dance, right? Or at least, moveability, the ability to move freely 💜

💜 So very often, it can be hard to find the time to properly give our body/mind the space and care it needs to relax and feel ‘safe’

💜 And without this feeling of safety, our bodies (and/or minds!) tend to ‘hold’ tension to protect us

💜 This is why, in BOOST, we use relaxation and flexibility/mobility work in tandem

💜 If you can feel your movements, your body will naturally start to relax and move more fluidly

💜 Only once you feel safe, you will be anle to start learning/unlearning/adapting/transforming movement patterns more deeply

💜 That’s what we do on Tuesdays in BOOST - 1/3rd of our time is spent exclusively on this.

💜 In tandem with our BOOST Strength practice on Mondays (by the way, strength and flexibility are simply two sides of the same cooin - it’s the ability to move well, to expand and to contract) BIG changes can start to happen naturally.

💜 I LOVE our BOOST Tuesdays, because my own body/mind really needs the gentle ‘input oasis’, too.

💜 These Sessions are where the Magic get’s it’s much needed space to happen

💜 BOOSTies who happen to read this 👀 Let me know which days you (usually!) look forward the most..

STRENGTH - So why do we work on strength in my BOO

STRENGTH - So why do we work on strength in my BOOST Program? Here are a few of the (many!) benefits:

Strength practice, when done with intention and full movement range will help to:

💜 Recalibrate your movement habits
💜 Wake your body up (literally)
💜 Make you stronger (ha!)
💜 Improve your mobility (naturally)
💜 Improve your posture (effortlessly)
💜 Improve your movement quality
💜 Improve your blood/lymph flow
💜 Revert loss of bone density
💜 Boost(ha!) your immune system
💜 Help you sleep more restoratively

In short:
It’s INCREDIBLY good for you, as a dancer, and as a human.

I strongly (ha) feel strength practise (& crosstraining in general) has enriched my dancing, and my life 💜

THIS is why we dedicate 1/3rd of BOOST (Mondays!) on practicing Strength exercises

It improves our dance, health and life 💜
