D.A.Y.M.A.

The Full Break-Down on DAYMA: I didn't create it; it created me. I just named it. The following is an excerpt from my book entitled, "The Definitive DAYMA Experience."

D.A.Y.M.A. is an acronym derived from four pillar disciplines: Dance, Athletics, Yoga, and Martial Arts.

DAYMA is a BEGINNING for people who want to take the first step on the road to better health and a deeper understanding of their life on this planet.

DAYMA is a BRIDGE for people to enter more advanced practices in dance, athletics, yoga and martial arts.

DAYMA is also a PORTAL for practitioners of dance, athletics, yoga and martial arts to new venues where they can express the skills they have acquired - on the dance floor.

DAYMA is an IGNITION to learn new ways of self-expression.

DAYMA is an TOOLKIT.

DAYMA is a KEYSTONE that allows you to incorporate nutritional, physiological, scientific and spiritual knowledge into the practical application of a healthy lifestyle.

DAYMA is a RECONNECTION to the original language spoken by humans, one of basic movement and insights that have been with us since the beginning of our civilization.

DAYMA is above all else, some of the most exceptionally FUN experiences you will ever have.

The quest for all-around radiant health can be compared to a treasure hunt. The treasure is buried within our bodies, locked inside a specific genetic code, which needs to be expressed and then adapted to our current environmental conditions. Cracking the code means harnessing the power encoded in the nano-machinery of our physical form. If that sounds too complicated, just look at it from this perspective: our minds know how to find the treasure because our bodies provide the treasure map. The key, literally and metaphorically, is to connect the two.

Many of us have fallen off the treasure hunt by adopting lifestyles that don't make our body feel good. We place material possessions, passive recreational activities and abstract ideologies above our own physical well-being. To correct this misdirection, sagacious people - both ancient and contemporary - have provided us instructions on how to access our internal "wellness memory." These teachings include both practical and esoteric knowledge. Certain basic principles prevail in all these teachings, and in their purest form, they provides the different means to the same end. The tenet common to each system is to develop our physical form as a tool to connect first with ourselves, then with the world around us, and thereby connect with the divine.

These knowledge systems have names familiar to us all. Among them are dance, athletics, Yoga and martial arts. Each incorporates mental exercises, spiritual/metaphysical practices and interrelated physicality. The movement techniques of each discipline evoke profound responses in the most ancient parts of our brain. Movement supports and enhances all the chemical and biological processes that our body needs to thrive. Through movement practices of all kinds, we can optimize our physical form. This renders that movement as an effective conduit for the universal knowledge of vitality.

Our bodies contain the gold nuggets for the health and well-being of our species. We just need to re-learn how to dig-up the gold. I suppose, then, at its essence, DAYMA is the "X marks the spot" on the treasure map. It's a place to begin. You are here.
