Celebrate the Power of the Feminine with the old Nia routine, Medicine Woman. I had the great pleasure of learning this routine at a workshop a couple weeks ago from Nia Black Belt instructor Pauline Osborne. I have been teaching a few songs over the past week and a half and am excited to teach the routine in its entirety on Sunday! 

Medicine Woman uses traditional South American instruments and rhythms to celebrate the power of the Feminine, the Beautiful, and the Medicine Woman. This music represents a bridge between the old ways and the new - a gateway to recognize and affirm the sacred, the compassionate, the healing, the joyous side of nature. Through this balance we can achieve a greater harmony with the expansive, nurturing aspects of ourselves. A lively authentic performance to rejuvenate our spirits.
