Introducing Hip Love Studio

Introducing Hip Love Studio. New name. New look. I am so excited to announce my dance studio space now has a new name. Hip Love Studio. H. I. P healing in physical Love. Empowering women to feel good. Welcome to Najlas Dance & Healing.

Change is inevitable and good as it changes the energy and flow so things can become less stagnate and it shakes things up a bit. Why this change? I wanted something simple, to the point, easy to remember but different. I wanted and needed something that truly encompasses all that I can offer as I am more:

Allie Joseph who is sole owner of Najlas Dance and Hip Love serves Chillicothe, Ohio and surrounding areas. To empower women, giving them confidence and find what has been lost deep within though, fitness, dance, movement classes for women of all ages! In addition, Allie is a Master Kundalini Reiki Teacher, Crystal Healer and a Card reader these are additional services that are held at Hip Love: by appointment.

Why the name Hip Love?

In bellydance we use our hips, it is the foundation that connects our lower body to our upper body. It relates to our pelvic and core region. When we dance our hip flexors are highly active which changes the flow and helps us release feeling better. Over the years in research and tons of learning! I love to learn! Our hips hold most of our emotion! Did you know that?

Think of your hips as a junk drawer. Everyone has one. A junk drawer is where you put things away that you do not know what to do with. It keeps filling up and before you know it your are holding onto so much junk in your hips that you do not even realize it. This is the most simplest terms. Our hips hold stress, anger, anxiety, trauma and more and these signals get sent to our whole body. From movement, meditation, dance, energy healing we can break this cycle and start feeling better, lighter, free!

Hear is what a few students have to say: Keep Reading!

A couple of my dearest friends and students helped me with this new look and we talked about what Hip Love meant to them. Here is a few things they had to say:

Dee Carpenter says: Hip Love: “No judgement. Physical movement which helps the soul emotionally….so you feel love to help the healing process by letting go through motion.”

I just love this what Dee says! This is why when we do move we feel better!

Here is what Angela Dawn says and what Hip Love means to her: “For me it’s and expression of freedom and femininity. Even when we dance the shapes we make sometimes with our hips are hearts! Using dance and movement to heal emotionally and physically.”

Awe! I do just love this and it is sending love to your hips!

Big huge thanks to Dee for coming up with the tag line: Healing in Physical Love...My dream was to open a place for women where they can come and be and what I have created is honestly more then I could ever imagine! I will be talking more on this too!

Love your Body

Love your body. Be proud. Your awesome as you are! 

There used to be a point in my life where I did not love my body.  I had suffered a lot of issues that stemmed back into my childhood days.  

This started with not being able to get up from the table until all my food was gone…it didn’t matter if I was hungry or not.  

Going into my teens I heard you thighs are big, you look like a football player, look at those bold legs…get the idea?  This sent me down a spiraling path of destruction…poor body image.  

It took me years to unravel these ideas and thoughts of what I believed to be true.  It has not been easy to say the least.  I’m talking a good 25 years of ups and downs.  

Being a fitness instructor helped but then there was still this idea that I had to be a certain way in regards to my body.

I got into Bellydance Cabaret Style.  All the glitter!  There though was this focus on body image but the way we moved it felt good in my body.  I still struggled.  

In 2010 it really started to change.  I found Global Caravan Bellydance!  This was different!  All where welcome and this is really when I began to understand and love my body!  

I was not just taught dance but about movement and loving yourself for who you are!  Because I’ve struggled and I truly have a passion for helping others; I have developed a 6 month course just for you. 

Metamorphosis Through Movement, Healing, & Dance

With Allie Joseph 

6 Month Series Coming to you, 

In Person Classes

We start next week Monday 6:30-7:30pm

I am so thrilled and excited to bring this very special dance course. Over the past year, I have been working excitedly on this series and I am ready to launch it for you!

Why did I develop this?

Over the past 20 years in my fitness and dance career, working through my own body struggles, I have been drawn to and worked with other women who have similar body-love issues and procrastination on allowing themselves to feel good.

There has been this one common theme.

They want to be able to learn how to move their body again, or even perhaps, for the first time..

To feel good. To feel connected. And to have fun – something just for them!

My 6 month series will be broken down into 3 different 8 week series, with different themes.

Each  8 week series starting with Movement & Play be your beautiful self and move in your unique way. Movement through Healing balancing the body as we continue different movements to release, strengthen and let go. Movement through the femine power of dance fun & easy developing confidence and strength.

With  the theme of metamorphosis, unique as we grow and expand, and will build upon each week, as we move our bodies and experience a new way of moving and being connected in our own skin.

Is this what you have been missing in your body, and your life? You know that it is time to move and enjoy your body as you are. If so, you will not want to miss any of this dynamic and inspired class.

This course will help you solve the many issues we face daily in our lives.

  • Feeling stressed out?  Through this course you learn how to alleviate stress through different types of movement.
  • Loss of connection in our bodies.  I will help you reconnect to your body and loving it through organic simple movement.
  • Loss of self worth.  I will help you build confidence back and to feel good  about yourself in a warm, loving, safe place.
  • To bring back some fun in your life!  I will help you to reconnect to your childlike self.  As adults, we forget or are told we can not play!
  • Play and movement is critical and it will help us bring back joy and fun!
