“Neuroscience is showing us
that what we think we know may
just be a point of reference for the brain”
“Every time you think,
you interrupt your body’s ability
to function optimally.
We think to start, stop,
make choices and decisions,
voluntary thinking is very slow
and takes energy and effort.”

“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.
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.
“To educate the body somatically,
we first become curious,
not through the mind
but by exploring sensation
for the sheer stimulation of it.
We notice and learn through the senses.”
“The body is coded to keep us aware and safe.
Sensory information feeds that awareness”
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.

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