Join the “dance warriors” at Lizard Dreaming Yoga Studio this Saturday, June 7, at 2:30 p.m. for a 2-hour Nia workshop dedicated to building balance from the base up.
“Balance is an essential building block in fitness for women and men of any age, at all stages of life,” said 1st degree Nia Black Belt instructor Julie Wylie, who leads the BALANCE workshop.
“Flexible hips help relieve lower back pain. Supple joints improve equilibrium. Through choreographed series of specific movements we’ll explore ways to condition feet, ankles, knees, legs and hips to develop a healthy base for the body, while improving muscle tone and joint vitality.”
Sometimes called “non-impact aerobics,” Nia is a dynamic cardiovascular movement practice that draws from martial arts, modern and jazz dance arts, and yoga. The practice of Nia is about moving energy through the body and being present in the moment through energizing, uplifting activities.
“It’s simply getting fit through movement,” said Mary Kaye Sawyer-Morse, a certified Nia instructor who leads regular weekly classes at Lizard Dreaming Yoga. “It’s working out without pain and with mind fully engaged.”
No previous experience is necessary and all levels of fitness are welcome. Nia is danced barefoot to a rousing mix of joyful music by Afro-Celt. Participants are encouraged to dress comfortably in loose clothing that will allow vigorous arm and leg movements.
