"For anything to manifest, however, there must be polarity."
Eileen McKusick, researcher, writer, educator and sound practitioner
How
do you visualize Polarity? Polarity though it means two opposing
qualities, really suggests a mirroring of qualities that are
interconnected. What would day be without the dark of night, fast
without slow, up without down, hot without cold, Yin without Yang, big
without small? These opposing qualities allow me to be fully present in
each of their unique sensations and gifts. In Nia we play with
Polarity every time we dance. We move slow with the essence of Tai Chi,
and then the next moment we are moving fast and explosive with the
energy of Tae Kwon Do. We dance our 206 bones with the sensations of
light and heavy, we move big and small, in straight lines and in
circles, we use our left and right sides of our brains through patterns
and being spontaneous, and the music we dance with is a rich blend and
contrast of silence and sound. The dance of 2, Polarity invites all of us to manifest our dance to its full potential.
I
remember when I first started teaching and practicing Nia, I was all
big, all fast and all Yang energy!! I thought I needed to use these
qualities in order to get a good workout. Soon I discovered the gifts
of the 'other' and welcomed the change that manifested not only to my
movement and body, but also my life. My teaching improved and so did my
relationships - HA!!!
Lately I have been in the dance of 2 with doing and non-doing. After 30 years in the corporate world of "doing" with schedules, deadlines and managing others alongside my Nia business and personal practice, I now have more time to spend in "non-doing", and have found peaceful manifestation. Nia has given me these life skills...Nia has taught me many things.

Join
me this week in the Dance of 2 - Polarity into Manifestation as we
enJOY moment to moment, movement to movement the beauty that emerges
from our dance. In Sacred Geometry, 2 is the Dyad - the
marriage of two circles giving birth to the line - a line that simultaneously divides and binds. The Dyad has an overlapping space between the two circles known as the vesica
piscis. The principle of the Dyad is Polarity. See you on the dance floor!!
My classes this week:
