"All we actually have is our body and its muscles that allow us to be under our own power."
- Allegra Kent
The focus of this morning’s class is working with the core muscles of our body. The intent is to develop strength in our core.
In Nia, the core of the body is referred to as the pelvis, chest and head, also called the three body weights. We will not be focusing on these body weights. Instead, we will just focus on our midsection; the area of the body that includes the torso, belly, abdominal muscles, the mid back and lower back.
Strength in the core provides support and alignment for the spine and bones, affects our posture, and assists us in infusing movement with dynamic energy and power. It also helps us to resist force as it comes at us but we won’t have to deal with that dynamic in our Nia class!
Join me this morning in developing this powerful part of the body. A strong core strengthens not only our entire body but also our will!
Class is from 11am-12pm at Fresh Fitness and Dance in Wallingford.
