Music, Gravity, Levity

This Saturday Soma Ranch Rock Star teacher, Natasha, is teaching both the 8:45am Nia 5 Stages class and the 10:00am class. Celebrating a foundational month, where our focus is on the BASE of the body and foundation of movement. Natasha has curated a playlist with songs from Levity and some “special guest” songs to highlight felt sensations of gravity in relationship with levity. A fabulous class where the moves click with the music AND sensations to bring magic into our experience.

Natasha: Sa 8:45am Nia 5 Stages + 10am Nia (CT)

Natasha is thrilled to be bringing a dynamic double scoop to our Saturday Morning Classes.

  • 8:45 Nia 5 Stages lesson Music

  • 10am Nia class Levity with Gravity

The concept of Levity with Gravity provides us with an opportunity to explore our body’s way of moving our 200+ bones in relationship with the forces of down and up.

.The intent will be to have a felt sense of lightness and ease through our entire body. Moving the way we were designed to move in relationship with these up/out and down/in forces.

We would love for y’all to join us!

Following Paul Duff's fabulous class tomorrow, I look forward to teaching the double Sat class.

Nia 5 Stages at 8:45am CT will be focused on Music. This is the one 5 Stages class of the year that will incorporate music. What a magical movement treat!

One of my absolute favourite things about teaching 5 Stages is how much I learn while preparing and delivering class. The education we receive from Nia is outstanding!

I don't have a musical background so it's been extra rewarding for me to learn about Music through Nia. My ears, skin, heart and cells are tuning in more and more to the sounds that surround me in class and in life.

I hope you will join me and allow yourself to be moved by music during this healing class. 🎶

Following 5 Stages we will dance most of the routine Levity with a few "guest" songs. The focus of our class will be Sensing both Levity and Gravity in our Base and Body. Focusing on these two qualities always leaves me feeling more open, spacious, enlightened, yet grounded and oh so harmonious.

Hope to move with you 🥰
