Saturday 10/14/23 Just Move Studio Owner, Bloom Retreat Center and Nia teacher/trainer extraoridnaire, Kellie Chambers is teaching both the 8:45am Nia 5 Stages class and the 10:00am class.
Continuing our October month, where our focus is the UPPER Extremities of movement: Arms, Hands, Fingers, Expressive movement from Heart. We will focus on Upper Extremities and dance to Kellies beautifully evolved “Heart Strings” movement experience.
Focus: Upper Extremities
Intent: To Connect to the world around us (outside the body) and the world within us (feelings and emotions)
Routine: Kellie's Nia Inspired Routine "Heartstrings"
Comments: We cannot help but be affected by the energy and events around us. There are things we can do with our Upper Extremities to clear the energy field in front of us, to contain our energy or to give energy. By moving our Upper Extremities we can move physical and emotional energy to feel better. Together, let's connect to the energy from our Heart and through our Upper Extremities to move in ways that nurture our body and life.

“We look at anatomy
to see how the body or body part is positioned,
then we sense it in our own bodies.”

“From looking, listening, learning
and gaining an understanding of anatomy,
we can then sense
to re-align all parts of our body. ”
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.
Key concepts
Anatomy: Arm, Hand, Fingers, Elbow, Forearms, Spirals, Simple Hinge + Pivot joint, Ulna, Radius.
YBW: Your Body’s Way “the current design and function of your body” (always changing/new)
Beginning with the Nia 5 Stages class, which most often is described as a luxurious healing hour of setting the focus for the 10am movement experience that follows.
“The forearm bones are the only two bones in the
body that spiral. We spiral energy into and out of the
body as the forearm bones spiral. Spiraling picks up
more energy. The spiraling of your spine and upper
body is very much supported by the way you pull
energy in by spiraling and sensing your forearms.”
When you sign up for a class you are automatically sent the Zoom link for class.
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 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
