Nia with Dhyana
625 Glen Rd V0N1V9 Gibsons, BC, Canada

No Nia Saturday May 15th.

Let your inner being dance. Dance like no one is watching...

The beautiful sunshine is calling out for some Latin beats in this mornings Nia class. Join me in "Sanjana Havana Carnival" for some fun with jazzy expressiveness! 10 at the gazebo in Dougall Park, Gibsons. Bring a mat and water. All welcome. Ta da!

We have been exploring and applying different types of strengthening in our "Cell-ebrate" routine. Today in Nia we go more into our kinetic sensing and imagination, using ocean metaphors to both expand into ease and liberate our power. 10am at the gazebo in Dougall Park, lower Gibsons. Please bring a mat and water.

"Cell-ebrate!" 10am at the gazebo in Gibsons Dougall Park, Tuesdays and Saturdays.

No Nia this Easter Saturday April 3rd, 2021.

Do you notice how much better you feel the days that you do Nia? According to scientific studies, what you experience in the morning sets the tone for your day. Today, in honour of Martin Luther King, as we move to the Nia routine "2together" we focus on his words with the awareness that how we feel also changes quantum reality and consciousness: "All life is interrelated. We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny. Whatev...er affects one directly, affects all indirectly. We are made to live together because of the interrelated structure of reality. Today we fill our kinesphere with awareness, love and light ~ 10am at the gazebo in Dougall Park Moving together to heal ourselves... and our world.

Rekindle your inner glow with some joyful Nia movement today! Today in class we focus on truly occupying our personal space like this cat naturally does, head to toe to arm as he goes into a spinal twist. Otherwise our bodies, energy bodies and personalities tend to shrink inward during Covid and winter. Dress warmly and raise a sweat. 10am at the gazebo in Dougall Park. Moving to heal and feel the glow!

Nia is a fusion of dance, martial and healing arts. The Nia routine "2GETHER" with its Modern Dance focus of giving life to our kinesphere has come at such an important time in our world where I see peoples energy bodies shrinking with mask wearing, 6-foot distancing and limited social contact. I am so grateful that Gibsons has allowed me to teach Nia outside in a 40 foot gazebo in this northwest Canadian winter, and that there are many hearty souls who want to "drink this ...wild air" with me. Yet everyone has to "stay in their bubble", arrive and leave promptly because gathering is not allowed. Today I brought awareness that this bubble is our kinesphere, as well as our toroidal energy sphere (www.InnerMoves.com/books), and it is up to us to own it, enliven it, and fill it with our chi in order to be healthy, instead of shrinking away. A student shared how important this focus was for her today, as she had felt like she was disappearing. We can learn, through repetition in class and out, to stay more aware of this personal space and give it attention and life

Its a beautiful sunny day to be together, owning and giving life to your personal bubble - the area around you that you can touch with your arms and legs - your kinesphere. Whether it be by full extension of your arms and legs, or whether your limbs are more comfortable defining the space reached by your elbows, its all great fun with the music and movements of this wonderful new routine "2GETHER". 10am at the gazebo in Dougall Park, lower Gibsons. Love how your feel!... www.InnerMoves.com/books

First Nia class of 2021 with a fabulous new routine "2gether"! Tuesday Jan. 5th, 10am at the gazebo in Dougall Park, Gibsons.

Tues. Dec. 8, 2020: I just came back from looking at the gazebo in Dougall Park and unfortunately, due to the prolonged rain, too much of the floor is wet to have a safe surface for our Nia class today. Hopefully we will return on Saturday the 12th at 10am! Until then, keep on dancing!

Love how you feel! Our outdoor Nia classes are my greatest natural antidote for winter Covid blues! Even when its rainy or cold, an enthusiastic group meets at the gazebo in the park! (while maintaining social distancing) PS. I only cancel a class if wind blew rain in, making the floor too slippery. Check here daily for cancellations.
