When was the last time you danced like a kid ? 🙌 Or let me rephrase this when was the last time you danced at work ? Research in the Harvard Business Review and a study in the New England Journal of Medicine by researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine discovered that dance can decidedly improve brain health. Dancing 👇 🚩moves stress out of the body 🚩allows for our brains to get into heightened states of creativity and innovation 🚩 increases levels of the feel good hormone serotonin which elevates our mood so it’s easier to work from a place of joy 🚩 helps develop new neural connections, especially in regions involved in executive function, long-term memory, and spatial recognition. Last weekend I ran a workshop at the YPO - YPO Africa - Africa Great Lakes chapter in Uganda 🇺🇬 and we started the workshop with ecstatic dancing ! This immediately shifted the energy in the room! I do this with conscious breathing and ecstatic dance for 5 minutes. And it was so much fun!! And helped create the ability for sustained creativity & innovation. So let’s get moving ! Who is joining me to dance today ? Just 5 minutes of ecstatic dance does the trick . Here is one of my favorite dance tunes : Lykke li - I follow rivers - https://lnkd.in/eZJM4fpe

I don't think I have ever danced at work. Unless you count the times I dance around in my kitchen as I work from home Cara M. de Lange
Love it! I encourage clients to use danse as a stress release technique BUT i never dared to practise it in a workshop! Most bold was stretching ;) I take the challenge and will incorporate it into my next stress management program :) Thanks!
When in doubt, dance it out!!! ❤️❤️❤️
