Welcome
to a new session!
"Inspiration
is taking me to distant lands this session; I am following the soft whispers of
the sea and dessert winds to a place of new ideas, visions and what dreams may
come. I will return in May 2010 and look forward to coming home to
our Nia circle; moving in a circle; honoring our circle and sharing with you the
treasures uncovered in my journey and letting it flow through our dance.
In the meantime I leave you with the zesty Felicia who will
maintain the Wednesday evening Nia class for the Winter session. Have fun.
I will miss you
all! " - Bacci, abracci - Katia

What
we’ll learn… Throughout
the session we’ll be exploring Nia’s 3 stages of practice, the 5 sensations,
the 8 stages of freedance, the 9 different movement forms (from the dance,
healing and martial arts), Nia’s 13 guiding principals, the 13 joints and the
52 Nia moves.
We’ll
be learning how to shift our weight gracefully, challenge our balance, move in
and out of space with agility, stability, mobility and with personal exploration
& discovery. We’ll be playing with opposites – yin & yang, circular
vs. linear movements, intrinsic and extrinsic conditioning, melodic and rhythmic
motion.
We’ll
be moving our bodies in new ways, releasing power and energy, stimulating our
tendons, ligaments, and all the bones and muscles in our body. In the process,
we’ll be breaking old movement habits, calming the mind, relieving stress,
building reservoirs of chi and moving towards a balanced life, a passionate
life, a fearless life!
