This idiom reflects the Taoist philosophy of appreciating fleeting beauty – embracing the transient nature of life and finding meaning in the present moment.

Happy March 1st! Let’s make the best of today however we can, and experience all that is to the fullest <3 

PS: Tap here for tips on Orchid Hands – a beautiful move inspired by Chinese finger dance.

Hello dear you,

Welcome to March! How time keeps flowing.

How are you holding up these days? What are you up to? How are you taking care of yourself in these uncertain times? Feel very free to reply to this K-Newsie and let me know!

As for me.. I am taking it slow.

I have to – I pulled a muscle in my calf on Thursday while bopping/skipping around in Taekwondo class lol (Aishh!)

I am taking it as a sign from the Universe to take a moment, take a breather, and gather myself for a bit… (and maybe.. so should you?)

How? By literally moving more slowly, more carefully, and more consciously.

I have no choice actually.. the only walking/moving I can do pain-free at the moment is super slow tai chi and qi gong (tap linky for music!) which is a bit frustrating.. but I do love to practice tai chi, so at least that is something lol.

Also – I’ve found – it calms my mind.

Once I let go of the exasperation (and all my plans for the weekend/upcoming weeks) I could sense a shift in my body and mind.

This obligatory slowness and mindfulness is sneakily(ha!) changing me.

Feels oddly.. healing, in many ways.

So. I highly recommend it.

Let’s move more slowly (preferably without pulling any muscles beforehand lol), more smoothly and more consciously this month, even in (or especially in) this ever-higher paced world.

Balance is key. Right?

Speaking of slowness..

I am extending the 50% Discount on my online classes and DVDs for 3 days into March – So if you missed it, no stress 🙂 Simply go here and use code ‘LOVE’ on checkout this weekend.

Note: If you are not sure which courses you already own, you can reply to this email and I will check it for you. I can also re-send you the receipts/access linkies if needed, no worries.

Also.. speaking of online learning

The power of moving slow is exactly what we are exploring in this year’s online BOOST.

It feels super healing, and inspiring.

I love what we’ve been able to do with it already, and I am super happy our BOOSTie Members (hi BOOSTies! love u!!) have been enjoying the mix of belly dance this year with wisdom from chinese philosophy, movement, dance, taiji and martial arts.

It’s been deeply transformative, gentle, and powerful.

If you are curious.. you can still join us! Tap this linky to sign up for BOOST 2025.

Our next live ‘Arms & Posture BOOST’ class will be on 10th of March (replays available!)

But also.. this year’s BOOST ‘journey to the East’ has been inspiring me in ways I did not expect.

For instance, this week we worked on Orchid Hands, a beautiful move inspired by Chinese finger dance. Gorgeous move, and the exercises to make these easier are very healing for the joints!

Check out a short clippie here – Orchid Hands (youtube)

Or.. if you prefer other platforms 🙂

• Orchid hands mini tutorial – FB Version
• Orchid hands mini tutorial – Instagram Version
• Orchid hands mini tutorial – Tiktok Version (yes, I’m on tiktok, too!)

If you’d like to get the full ‘Orchid Hands & Finger Joints’ BOOST class – you still can! Enrollments for ‘Back2Basics’ BOOST are still open via this linky (all levels are welcome!)

Speaking of fleetingness..

As some of you may have read, Meta (Facebook, from where I know many of you) has changed it’s policies and will be deleting all live replays from their pages and groups this year.

This means that a LOT of videos of mine will be disappearing (fleeting!) from the Khalida Online FB Group.

So.. if you ever wanted to check out any of my free mini tutorials on FB.. now is the time 🙂

Next to that, you find last week’s free mini FB Live JAM series (loved it!) on Youtube and Instagram

You can watch the Day 1 replay HERE:

FREE FB Live JAM with Khalida – All replays (if FB does not work, try Insta or Youtube)

• Day 1: Breathing & Poses (Youtube, FB, Instagram)
• Day 2: Arms & Hands  (Youtube, FB, Instagram)
• Day 3: Relaxed Shimmies (Youtube, FB, Instagram)
• Day 4: Silk Veil Tips & Moves (Youtube, FB, Instagram)
• Day 5: Fan Veil & Flow (Youtube, FB, Instagram)

As mentioned above.. we’re moving slow 🙂 Extended through this weekend:

LOVE – Get a 50% Discount on ALL my ‘forever yours’ classes on Gumroad 🙂

To celebrate our online-versary, I am offering a 50% discount(!) on ALL my online classes in my Gumroad Store (forever yours!) until end of this weekend.
