Listening to Your Body as an Act of Love


The focus of this morning’s Nia class is on listening to our bodies as an act of love. Mindfully, openly and loving listening to another is one of the greatest gifts of love. In fact, listening is key to any human relationship.

We can do the same for ourselves and especially for our bodies.

Today, during class, I invite you to listen to the voice of your body with an open heart.

Listen to what your body wants and needs. What story is she/he sharing? What story does she/he want to create?

If you feel pain, acknowledge the pain and tweak your movements in the direction of pleasure.

If you feel pleasure, acknowledge the pleasure and sustain or increase the sensation of pleasure.

The more you learn to listen to and practice listening to your body, the better you can communicate with and respond to her/his needs, the more you can sense how your body wants and needs to move and find your own unique authentic dance.

Join me this morning from 11am – 12pm at Fresh Fitness and Dance in Wallingford!
