Path of the Sacred Athlete!

"A Sacred Athlete is a teacher and healer to everyBody, and makes choices from love and pleasure.

This is the path to transformation and self-mastery." (Nia White Belt Learn Book)

I love this time of year - the air is crisp and clear, windows and hearts open!!! It is a time of change, with a sensation of excitement! This month Adelle and I are facilitating a Nia White Belt intensive; 6.5 days of transformation that will rock your world!! It is a split weekend training starting at 3:00 pm on Thursday, October 22 and will go through Saturday (October 23) and Sunday (October 24). The 2nd weekend is Friday, October 30 - Sunday, November 1.

Nia White is the path to self-mastery designed to get you into your body, and use your body and movement to maximize the business of your body and all aspects of your life. The Nia White belt intensive gifts you with tools for managing stress, enhancing your relationships, improving productivity, and creating a life balance, as you explore techniques using your body, voice, intent, mind, emotions and unique spirit to master getting into and living in your body. It is also the 1st step into teaching Nia if that is your desire. Nia White Belt is empowering and opens you to your potential and purpose as you step into your greatness! The Nia White Belt...conditioning for your body and your life!

This week in my classes we will explore, play and taste the 13 principles of the Nia White belt. I will also invite you to ask questions before and after class about the intensive and how to make the Nia White belt a reality for you. I stepped in 21 years ago and have not looked back!!!

The Rhythm of Life...Do you Feel it?

Hello Beautiful Friends!

“To live is to be musical, starting with the blood dancing in your veins. Everything living has a rhythm. Do you feel your music?”

Michael Jackson

I am so excited to be back in my community with all you wonderful radiant beings of light. Adelle and I have just returned from Nia Headquarters in Portland, Oregon, where we participated in a wonderful new Nia training called FreeDance, and were dancers in the 2015 Nia teacher training videos!!! It was magical, and I am so excited and recharged!

This week as I step back into my classes, I invite you to connect to and be aware of the rhythm of life. Everything in life flows with its unique rhythm...the sun comes and goes down each day as part of the rhythm of the Universe, the seasons flower and change, and the moon flows from full to new. In your body, you can feel your unique rhythm though your heartbeat, your breath, the blinking of your eyes, the beat of your internal organs, and the flow of you blood and water. Even your laughter has a unique rhythm. Go ahead and laugh right NOW and notice how each HA (the beat of your laugh) is exactly spaced. It's amazing!! Rhythm is the driving force that holds our lives together!

In Nia we honor the rhythm of every Body through a principle called Natural Time. Natural Time (NT) is fluid, non-linear, and centered in the NOW, and it reconnects us to the rhythms of nature and the rhythms of all life forms. NT invites us to move in our own time, at our own pace and discover our own unique way of moving so we can make choices intuitively as we sense our body. NT is a way for us to be in touch with the Universe, and have a deep and rich relationship with our body. NT invites us to dance to our unique beat. Our body loves to move, and when we move in NT, our body becomes fluid with the rhythm of life.

Do you feel it...Rhythm!! See you in class!!

My classes this week at The Synergy Studio:

Thursday at 5:30 pm

Saturday at 9:30 am

Sunday at 4:00 pm.

I'm also teaching Hatha Yoga on Sunday at 5:30 pm. Flowing to our unique rhythm (YES! even in Yoga!)

Are you ready to step into the Art of Sensation - Nia White Belt? 6.5 days of transformation that will rock your world!! Our next training is a split weekend, starting at 3:00 pm on Thursday, October 22 and will go through Saturday (October 23) and Sunday (October 24). The 2nd weekend is Friday, October 30 - Sunday, November 1. It is a great opportunity to take the Nia White Belt and only take a couple days off from work.
