Creating Self and Medusa Movement

 

Fascinating to realize how our body is constantly re-creating. How the body we have today is not the same as it was yesterday and how we, and our body, will never be the same again.

In both the 8:45am Nia 5 Stages and the 10:00am class we will focus on this phenomena.

We'll explore

  • the sensation of change,

  • how to adapt, seek pleasure,

  • the domain of comfort,

How we can participate as agents of change and take self-responsibility, to feel better personally and, by being on this path, make a difference for the people who live around us!

This Nia 5 Stages class is most often is described as a luxurious healing hour of setting the focus for the 10am movement experience that follows.

The 10am class will be “Medusa”, an experience Helen Terry has adapted from the Nia Experience Sanjana. The class has a theme of "Creative Dynamic Ease". We will dance "Medusa"set to the music of Annie Lenox with guest appearances from Prince and AC/DC!

Here’s more about the music and the wonderful artist Annie Lenox who created the album Medusa. She recently celebrated her 70th birthday and we thought fitting to celebrate her.

Wonderful interview with Annie Lennox who humbly accepts the phrase Maverick. She certainly seems to be a conscious, intelligent and most “unorthodox and independent-minded person".

I love and connect with how Annie Lennox shares her desire to be a “powerful performer, to resonate with people in a certain way, and a sense of who I am and what I want to do”

When you sign up for a class you are automatically sent the Zoom link for class.

The link is the same each week.

Here’s a sweet duet with her daughter Lola…

I desire to be a powerful performer,
to resonate with people in a certain way,
with a strong sense of
who I am and
what I want to do.
— Annie Lennox
Listen to Sensation, the language of your body.
— Nia

You are welcome to attend either class.

And, when you’re able to attend both classes, something magic happens! The entire Nia 5 stages class is like a rich 60 minute introduction to the 10am Nia class, a beautiful compliment and super preparation.

In this gentle, self discovering, potentially healing Nia 5 stages experience

  • your body gets to settle into and taste the Nia class focus

  • your mind can learn new and novel information,

  • your heart may open to receive more with fascination up and frustration down

  • your spirit could be tickled and curious to experience more

Awareness teaches us to
notice when we feel better
which is the sensation
of self-healing
