Saturday 4/27/24 Helen Terry is teaching both the 8:45am Nia 5 Stages class and the 10:00am class.
Celebrating the conclusion of our April Challenge of Choice. We will focus on Connective Tissue, specifically exploring how soft connective tissue binds and invest our system and how we can hydrate this tissue through systemic movement. After 5 stages lesson Helen will continue the focus into the 10:00am movement experience with her simple Kata Formula to the latest Nia Routine “Shine”.

“Connective tissue is a substance that transmits information
and binds, or connects, things.
It comes in many forms.
Tendons and ligaments are connective tissue;
cartilage is connective tissue;
muscles are wrapped in connective tissue.
Even blood is a connective tissue.”
