Let's Please our Knees

I am thrilled to be teaching the NIA double this Saturday June 10th!

8:45 NIA 5 Stages lesson will be on the Knees.

10am NIA class will be the routine Pulse with Awareness of Knees as our focus.

The intent will be to create a sensation of dynamic ease (feeling of being relaxed and ready) by dancing and moving with spring-loaded knee joints.

I would love to have you join me! These classes are included in our 30 day challenge...no need for you to register or pay.

Also please feel free to share and invite friends who are outside to 30 day challenge group as the Sat classes are open to the public, simply complete the waiver and purchase a pass here www.somaranch.com/regular-classes and then reach out to me naturallynatashav@gmail.com or Helen@somaranch.com for the link.

β€œThe knee joint is a hinge joint
designed to open and close.
It is the largest joint in the body”
— Nia 5 Stages

Knees are an amazing and complex part of the human body. Our knees connect the thigh bone to the shin bone and are responsible for supporting our entire body weight during activities such as walking, running, and jumping.

Despite their strength, however, knees are also incredibly vulnerable to injury and wear and tear. Many athletes and active individuals suffer from knee injuries such as sprains, strains, and tears from overuse.

As we age, the cartilage in our knees can also start to wear down, resulting in conditions such as osteoarthritis. Despite the challenges, it's important to take care of our knees through exercise, stretching, and proper body mechanics to ensure they remain healthy and strong for years to come.

β€œKeeping the knees unlocked
and spring-loaded creates
a sensation of Dynamic Ease,
a feeling of being relaxed and ready

β€œKnees represent ego and our ability to stand up for ourselves.
