Personalize Your Nia Workout...Personalize Your Life!!

This week we will explore Nia White Belt Principle #7, 3 Planes of Movement & Intensity Levels.  I love this principle - it liberates me and allows me to personalize my Nia workout for MY needs, MY goals, MY desires.  This principle gives me the freedom to choose how I can move, and in return has given birth to my body new places and spaces to explore and heal.  It also invites me to craft my 'workout' and be my own Conscious Personal Trainer (CPT).  Through sensation I can determine how much, how far, how high, how low and how deep I want to take my movements.   This principles also provides a path for me to reach my full potential and to open to all possibilities.  And I love that!  Sensing comfort, harmony and balance as I sink and rise through my High, Middle and Low planes of movement.  Playing with the intensity Levels 1, 2 and 3 as I choose what is best for me moment by moment by monitoring my comfort, breath and sensation of ease.  All of this making my body feel yummy, conditioned, and wanting more. 

And as with every principle of Nia, I can carry it with me into my daily life to monitor and adjust how I am performing in life.  What intensity level am I at as I walk across the street, conduct a meeting, brush my teeth, shop, speak to my husband, respond to emails, complete my projects?  Sensing and making adjustments. 

Sensing my high plane as I reach for a cup in my cupboard, my low plane as I bend down to pet my dog Rocket, and my middle plane as I load clothes in my dryer.  Dancing through my day as I fold and unfold my bones, and lubricate my joints.  This is the art of Nia!  Personalizing your life....How fun is that!
