Your body is like a library, and every muscle holds stories. 📚 These stories aren't just physical... every muscle in your body has memory receptors that store components of both emotional and/or physical trauma.

This is one of the reasons why Nia isn't just about fitness; it's about reclaiming your body's wisdom. We combine movement, music, visualization, sounding and expression to move and release stuck emotion and stress and leave you feeling relaxed, energized and joyful. 💫

Only 4 weeks to go, you will not regret the investment into yourself❤️

Just 4 weeks to go.

Learn how to bring yourself home to your Body, Mind & Spirit❣️💃💗

Only 11 weeks until our Brisbane Art of Sensation Training. Join us for the NEW Nia White Belt - a lifelong gift to yourself.

In our 6-day immersion, you'll experience the joy of coming home to your body, learning techniques and practices to feel, move, and live better. There are daily classes plus additional online training to support your journey. bit.ly/NiaWBSep23

We are too often our own worst critics. One of the (many) gifts of Nia as a mindful movement practice is learning to amplify a kinder, more compassionate inner voice, and to love and accept our body and our whole self, just as we are.
“I accept my humanness and embrace my divinity. I am Love. I am Joy.”

I wonder if you know…

I WONDER IF YOU KNOW

I wonder if you know,
the work your body has done today.
And every day.
How much disease it has fought off.
How many times it could have failed but battled on,
how many ways it could have broken but did not.

I wonder if you know,
the work your body has done today.
And every day.
And each day it has done this amazing job,
without your help,
without your approval,
your acceptance,
your kindness.

Each day it has soldiered on,
regardless of the constant stream of negativity,
pulsing its way from your brain to your cells.
Not good enough.
Not attractive enough.
Not the right shape.

Perhaps it’s time to see your body for what is truly is,
An amazing and mind-blowingly competent machine.
To get your soul to where it needs to be in this life.
To let you live.

I wonder if you know,
how much better you would be as a team.
I wonder.

UPWARD BLOCKS - one of 4 kinds of Blocks in Nia that are inspired by the Martial Arts.

Press your feet into the earth and imagine riding a horse. Begin with your arms in Ready Position - soft fists, drawing elbows back and down.

Slide the blocking hand and arm across your body, as if cutting yourself in half at waist-level. Swiftly spiral the hand, forearm bones and elbow joint upward, stopping the arm directly in front of your forehead. Your forearm bones remain horizontal
while forming an imaginary picture frame with the fist facing outwards. Return to Ready Position by spiralling the blocking hand and forearm bones downward, sliding across the waist and pulling both elbows back.

LEARN TO:
💪 Sense all 4 actions - across, up, down, back
💪 Power the start and stop
💪 Move with the intent to power the move from your base
💪 Imagine protecting your face from a ball coming at you

BENEFITS:
🤩 Increases flexibility, agility, mobility, and stability in the foot, leg, thigh, buttocks and core
🤩 Builds strength in the hip and core muscles
🤩 Develops coordination
🤩 Heightens reflexive response-ability

MONDAY OUTWARD BLOCKS - one of 4 kinds of Blocks in Nia that are inspired by the Martial Arts.

Press your feet into the earth and imagine riding a horse. Begin with your arms in Ready Position - soft fists, drawing elbows back and down.

Think about your target, placing your attention on moving outward. Slide the blocking hand and arm across your body, as if cutting yourself in half at waist-level. Swiftly spiral the hand, forearm bones and elbow joint outward. Stop the arm directly in line with the front of the shoulder. Your forearm bones remain vertical while the inside of your hand faces inward.

Return to Ready Position, spiral the blocking hand and forearm bones downward, sliding back across the waist and pulling both elbows back.

LEARN TO:
💪 Sense all 4 actions - across, out, back, down
💪 Pull the non-blocking elbow down and back as you initiate Outward Block with the opposite arm
💪 Move with the intent to protect the side of your face
💪 Imagine holding a shield

BENEFITS:
🤩 Increases flexibility, agility, mobility, and stability in the foot, leg, thigh, buttocks and core
🤩 Builds strength in the hip and core muscles
🤩 Develops coordination
🤩 Heightens reflexive response-ability
