OK Nia Dragons...here we go with our new Nia routine DRAGON starting this Tuesday...in conjunction with the Chinese New Year and the Olympics, we’ll support our being a Sacred Athlete within a spirit of Yang energy. Outwardly directed, supported from the Earth, balanced up/down, side-to-side, left/right...this will engage your body/mind in a very powerful way. A great way to spend the last week of Winter Schedule #2. The next 4 week Nia session begins Feb. 27 March 24 and the schedule is posted on the website. Sign up now! www.motionworksstudio.com

Hi Every Beautiful Body: Nia classes started up today with a 4 week schedule...and with a fresh new routine WILD! Here’s a sneak peek: Wild focuses on reflexive conditioning as an automatic response from the nervous system to a stimulus. Reflexive muscular conditioning will be stimulated with an agile start/stop action. Each time we dance this routine we’ll have the opportunity to enliven your Nia practice and go deeper as a Sacred Athlete. The Nia promise creates health and ...attunement with the body, mind, emotions and spirit. It means our workouts deliver holistic conditioning and movement training. I send you a Happy New Year wish of abundant good fortune, Patti Tennessy www.motionworksstudio.com

The 2018 Nia Technique class schedule with Motion Works Fitness begins Tuesday January 2. The 2018 schedule will be emailed to you the last week of December and will be posted on the website: www.motionworksstudio.com Peace and Goodwill to All & May Your Blessings be Bountiful this Christmas! With so much gratitude, pleasure & joy, Patti Tennessy

This might be an interesting show to watch on Netflix in the new year.

Gorgeous Ones: You know I mean it... The plan is to have a Christmas gathering on the last day of Fall Session #3, Saturday Dec. 16 after the morning Nia class ends at 9 am. I’ve reserved a space at Molly’s (inside Towne Centre Mall across the street from the studio) for us to enjoy our last morning together for 2017 (and it has been a fantastic year.) Please join in for breakfast, coffee, tea or whatever your desires...RSVP to me by email or personally or text if you’re IN! My gift to you.

Thank you for your evaluation & testimonial forms being filled out and given back...I am very humbled by your responses so far. Let us continue to share the JOY of movement for 2018.

The start of a new 5 week session and our entry into the new routine LIFE...it’s a super sweet workout, thanks to trainer Ann Christiansen for this beauty!

Hi Every Beautiful Body: Thank you for your interest in the Yoga-Fit classes...they are about to begin Monday, Feb. 26! I’m so excited to continue this amazing & sacred practice at a new location here on the Westside at Inside Out Pilates Studio. Attached is the calendar with the location, times, prices etc. Some of the details are these: * The calendar runs similar to the Nia schedule with class choices and payment plans. This Yoga-Fit 4 week session runs Feb. 26-Mar. 23. It... is up on the website. * I had more morning than evening interest, so there are 3 different class choices reflected in the payment schedule. Mon/Fri mornings & Tues evening. You can attend morning and/or evening. * I had one person interested in a workshop, so I will leave that for another date in the future. The instruction is always Level 1,2,3 so beginning a Yoga practice is definitely OK in my classes. * There is a possibility of an additional evening class, Thursdays from 7-8 pm, so we’ll see what kind of response might happen to add that time slot. * There was a question regarding car pooling from Kelowna. Good idea if we want to generate a conversation around logistics. Let me know. http://www.motionworksstudio.com/yogafit-studio-schedule.php

FABulous group energy with the presentation of the Nia routine DRAGON...Thanks to Nia trainer Britta for this amazing compilation! We’re all sacred athletes!
