Hip Expressions Manifesto
I am here now and will do my best to help create a safe & welcoming space for all by …
being my beautiful, authentic self
making mistakes & moving on
signing up in advance
being fully present & engaged
listening to & loving my body the way it is
leaving my cell phone off to reduce distractions
arriving on time and staying for the entire class
throwing my gum away so my breath is free
listening silently when the instructor is talking
paying attention when others ask questions
focusing on myself & let others do the same
consciously placing myself in the space around me
reserving conversing with others to before & after class
keeping the space free of fragrance & strong body odors
being gentle with myself & others, in word, thought & deed
communicating concerns discreetly to my instructor or staff
sharing joyful movement with my new friends
not comparing myself to others
not taking things personally
doing my best… just for today
being okay feeling awkward
…having fun!
