Affirmations from A to Z

     Goddess Grace is a half hour exercise routine which weaves
together movements from yoga, bellydance, and other dance forms
in a continuously flowing Tai Chi-like format. The 26 movements
develop strength and flexibility while toning and stretching   
the full body. The exercises are coordinated with spoken      
affirmations of  goddesses from around the world in alpha-     
betical order from Athena to Zoe. The empowering original      
affirmations add to the whole body/mind/spirit experience.     

     This method is the creation of Mariel, a dancer and
massage therapist  of Durham, NC.  In the first half-hour, she
demonstrates the entire routine. Then over 50 women of many   
ages and sizes appear as Goddesses in natural settings doing  
the exercises and bringing the affirmations to life. Next,    
Mariel breaks down each of the postures so they can be easily
learned. There is an emphasis on doing only as much as your  
body needs, with alternate movements suggested if the full   
stretch is too much.  Full tape is approximately 2 hours.
