Mamavation Mondays: Mind, Body, & Soul

I simply love a workout where I can get my body working so much that I get a good sweat going.  Even better than that is when I do a whole body integration, when I work the complete package of the mind, body, and soul.  I have few activities where I do that.  They are generally the more vigorous yoga routines, rock climbing, strenuous hiking, or a nice backpacking trip.  All those activities speak to me and how I like to get that full body integration going.  They are not for everyone though and are generally not activities I can do at home in a short period of time.

This week’s guest has a solid background in working with people to move their bodies and minds.

Special Guest: Suzanne Forbes-Vierling, PhD (@tribalenergy4u)

Suzanne Forbes-Vierling is an acclaimed African Dance Performer, Choreographer, Fitness Dance Instructor and founder and choreographer for Adaptacion Dance and Music Company. She is the creator of Tribal Energy Cardio and has over 20 years of cultural dance experience which she draws from to incorporate into her work. Additionally, Suzanne holds a Ph.D. in Psychology. She is a University professor in both Dance and Psychology and also manages a Graduate Psychology Program. It is at the intersection of these two fields, dance and psychology, where Suzanne truly shines as a dancer and teacher.

Suzanne has created a Tribal Energy Cardio DVD where viewers will find an invigorating, total body workout that is fun and engaging.  It has everyone connecting with vital energy and spirituality. The core will be totally engaged. The live drumming rhythms add to the excitement as the entire body moves. Suzanne breaks down the moves so they are easy to follow and viewers can go at their own pace. Grooving to the music soon makes the workout seem effortless.
