10am Nia class will continue this focus Natural Time and Movement forms with the Nia Routine R1.
The nine movement forms of Nia provide an opportunity to infuse different dynamics, or energy personalities, into the practice, providing us with a buffet of sensations and variety.The intent will be to have a felt sense of the different movement personalities moving through our joints and connective tissue.
We would love for y’all to join us!
“Natural Time in Nia is the practice of activating the movement of energy through the 13 main joints: ankles, knees, hips, wrists, elbows, shoulders, and entire spine.”

This movement experience is suitable for beginners and people of all different fitness backgrounds.
“When we move energy through these joints by opening and closing them, the energy moves out and interfaces with the energy fields outside the body and is then recycled back into the body.
Energetically, you are basically breathing. You breathe energetically into the flesh as you move your joints.”
In the Nia 5 Stages, you are invited to a place of sensitivity that enables you to observe and release the sensation of stress and embrace the sensations of Dynamic Ease, Pleasure, and comfort.
““Hi Movement Friends,
I’m looking forward to sharing both Nia 5 Stages and the Nia body of work “R1” with you all this Saturday—a double feature!
Our Focus is Natural Time and the Movement forms with the Intent to sense the different movement personalities moving through our joints and connective tissue.
Love xoxo”
