"Awakening the God/Goddess within us not only electrifies our soul yet gives us purpose to shine as we have been designed to. Our planet is experiencing many consciousness shifts. To respond to the planet’s current state of pain and thirst for our healing hands, it is an ideal time to rebirth the god/goddess within us. When the lunar goddess is awake so is the solar masculine force. Together harmony can be achieved."
- Jada

Known for her lioness heart and creative fire, Jada is like a wild and charismatic horse who has been divinely enchanted by her ancestors of light. In The legend of Jada Fire (chapter 7 of her book), she is seduced by her soul partner from the planet Pomjukale and together they bring to life, an Enlightened Tiger! In the story, Jada possessed an inborn fire that blazed with tribal energy. She cried diamonds that served as rites of passage into unnkown territories. Jada's underlying quest is to heal and inspire the masses with her energetic awakening. Sounds absurd? Perhaps you'd like to read more on Jada's first inspiring story titled "Relinquish the Armor, 14 Ways to Illuminate Your Inner Fire. This autobiography includes artful illustrations, exotic tales of the fire goddess, drawings and a special epilogue that touches on the 'right of passage' and 'the rebirth of the goddess within'. Jada Fire's book is due to publish this year, 2011.

A few words on Relinquishing Armor...

"Through life’s journey, we move through veils of fog and confusion, peel inward to strip away external facade, and let go of the armor that shield and distance our hearts from true connection. Without this kind of inward travel, we are detaching ourselves from nature, and our root connection to the source continues to wear thin. Just as we distance the soles of our feet from the tactile connection to Mother Earth, we too are distancing our innate abilities to truly know ourselves. It is much like the parallel between the degradation of land and the degradation of human kind.

Relinquishing the armor can sound like a vulnerable state to be in, yet therein lies your strength. Because you are able to trust in the gifts of the universe and know that you are always provided for, you are never alone. Your life flows magically and easier because you manifest with the Creator instead of insisting that everything needs to be accomplished all by yourself. Beneath the armor is a sacred and precious core of illuminated will and light. This is what you are made of. It is what we are all made of.

Once we identify this guiding truth of trusting in the universe, we can invoke spiritual assistance and divine protection and embrace our lighter shade of being. The practices of cathartic dance, and emotive, and physical release through intention and breath can be great vehicles to experience optimism, sacred change, and enlightenment."

Jada Fire (Jaime Tam) is practically a native to the Las Vegas Valley. Although born and raised on Long Island, NY, Jada has found her expressive roots and spiritual life path here in the dynamic city of Las Vegas over ten years ago. Today, she can't think of a better place to call home. Jada loves the affluent community of yogis, performers, artists, musical and spiritual beings here in this transient city. She finds the natural magnitude of red rock canyon combined with the synthetic lights of this decadent city to generate a blissful harmony that feels most inviting, expressive and alive.

Jaime's curiosity and drive to learn about native arts and culture first grew fervent through her experiences with West African and Caribbean dance styles back in 1998. Ethnic dance became her independent study in college and brought her to complete her art degree overseas in North Eastern Australia and the North Island of New Zealand. There, in her spare time, she pursued the art of flying and static trapeze and learned to dance with fire. Finding her connection and freedom in fire, she was inspired to give birth to the artist name, Jada Fire.

Thereafter, the disciplines of Yoga and Dance have guided Jada into discovering her true, passionate Goddess energy. She evolved into a versatile, artistic entrepreneur. After an independent study in Costa Rica training and teaching flying trapeze in Spanish, Jada learned that less is really more and our internal fruits are our real, precious gold. There, in Costa Rica she studied with powerful mentors of the body and mind. After a treacherous fall from the static trapeze, she miraculously connected with a native Shaman living inland from the Caribbean coast who healed her injury in a few days time. Thereafter, Jada opened up to her own healing and began to transform her obstacles into opportunities through the use of intuitive guidance, divine manifestation and yoga and sacred dance to develop a higher spiritual frequency and understanding.

Jada has resonated with a magical talent to bring about the uninhibited creative side of all of her students and friends. She continues to teach and perform as a full time freelance artist and has become a yoga ambassador for Lululemon Athletica, here in Las Vegas. She and her husband Alvin Tam opened the first ever Barefoot Sanctuary, a yoga and fitness studio located within Whole Foods Market at Town Square, Las Vegas. Jada believes one should claim their own sensuality & vitality while living fully within their bodies.

After releasing her first exotic dance music CD titled The Spoken World back in 2003, she was then inspired to create a series of instructional DVD's to develop her Expressive Yoga Dance system. Her latest instructional DVD's titled, Expressive Yoga for the Soul and Sacred Dance Fusion, co- created with local film company Soul Acrobats offer a fresh and innovative approach to the Yoga and Dance practice. Both DVD's are available for purchase here in our online store and also at various spa, health and wellness centers in Las Vegas and beyond.

Jada's Expressive Yoga Dance system is so much more than just a good, deep sweat.

When she first embraced the nature of ethnic dance, she was drawn to the strong sense of multicultural celebration. Jada later recognized how she could use movement as a plane ticket to learn about other cultures, other ways of life. Both yoga and dance then became a full on expression of celebration for Jada until she discovered the potential to move through her own limitations, restrictions and boundaries as she progressed as a dancer. She grew connected to movement as a spiritual outlet.

After incurring many injuries as an athlete all her life long, she later utilized yoga~dance as a healing force to mend old wounds, enrich her body knowledge and find a deeper spirituality. Learn more at: www.expressiveyogadance.com

Jada says that "Expressive Yoga Dance can be communication with the universe- your spirit guides, ancestors of light, father mother, god- whomever you pray or speak to. When you choose to embrace your practice with a higher divine power in mind and body, you can avoid injury, heal injuries and expand self awareness."

Jada asks of you to open your heart and embrace truth & integrity ~Sometimes great endeavors come with great opposition, and sometimes it's more natural to ride your breath, speak clearly for what you want....Honor your path in finding your way rather than fighting it~...Trust*, that We Are All One Spirit~ Invoke Connectedness!

May Loving Too Passionately Be Your Only Crime~

Peace & Namaste
