Saturday 9/23/23 Special Guest teacher, Erin Curren, provides both the 8:45am Nia 5 Stages class and the 10:00am class.
08:45 - 09:45am CDT Nia 5 Stages Lesson: The Core of the Body: Pelvis, Chest, and Head
10:00 - 11:00am CDT Classic Nia Routine: Awake
Focus: Spine, Spiral, Space
Intent: Sense energetic flow up and down the spine
“Even my butternut squash
is spiraling its core
as I prepare to teach! LOL!”
Notes about the Core:
Pelvis, Chest and Head
This is the part of the body we call the feeling center.
The diaphragm moving up and down stimulates the spine. The more relaxed you are in the belly, the more power you have.
The chest is designed to expand and contract as you breathe, maintaining space.
Even my butternut squash is spiraling its core as I prepare to teach! LOL!
The movement of the ribcage is critical for your shoulder joints and for your neck.
The head balances directly over the chest and the pelvis, sitting on the top of the spine.
When your Three Body Weights support you from underneath this gives you a lot of dynamic power from behind, then your arms and legs will be completely relaxed.
… and that’s the tip of the iceberg!
We hope you’ll join Erin for a delicious morning of movement and awakening!
“We look at anatomy
to see how the body or body part is positioned,
then we sense it in our own bodies.”
