Saturday’s class has a theme of "strong back, soft front, wild heart". (Inspired by the fabulous book by Brene Brown "Braving the Wilderness"). In the 8:45am 5 stages class we explore Humerus, Awareness of the Upper Arm Bone, by paying attention to the sensation, the language of our body. We will particularly explore the sensations of expression of heart through the skin, bones and soft connective tissue of our upper arm bones.
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 "strong back, soft front, wild heart". (Inspired by Helen’s 2nd reading of the fabulous book by Brene Brown "Braving the Wilderness"). 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.
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.
“ an unorthodox or independent-minded person”
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.”
“Listen to Sensation, the language of your body.”
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”
