Sign up: https://www.somaranch.com/booking/nia-challenge

All 30 classes are provided online via Zoom.


The July Challenge “Sensation in Movement” is all about sizzling sensations and joy of movement. Providing you with classes that provide tastes of the flavors of fitness we often in Nia call the FAMSS; Flexibility, Agility, Mobility, Strength, Stability.

Some classes will explore the benefits of one of these sensations for example

  • Flexibility, where we will explore the sensation of energy out, like laser beams extending down and through our bones, with the intent to feel lighter and longer.

  • Strength, where we will explore the sensation of energy in, with muscles like sponges squeezing and releasing in and around our bones, with the intent to feel taller and stronger.

Other classes will explore duality and contrast between these sensations, for example.

  • Mobility and Stability, where we will explore the sensation of balanced motion through the Body’s way of simultaneous stability and mobility of the body

  • Agility and Stability, where we will explore the sensation of start and stop action in motion in relationship with the support of body and mind stability

  • Flexibility and Strength, were we will explore the duality, and motion of, movement into and away from the body
