Series description:

Nia 5 Stages is a powerful practice to realign and self-heal the body. Through music, imagery, movement and language, this class guides you through five stages based on the natural phases of human development: Embryonic, Creeping, Crawling, Standing and Walking.

This practice is dedicated to self-healing and to using these five movements as stimulation to feel better in your body.

The object of practicing these five simple movements is to prepare the body to become more functional, energetic, and comfortable while doing any movement such as: dancing, walking, running, yoga, martial arts, etc. This practice allows you to sense the natural ability your body has to realign itself and self-heal through movement.

By the end of this five-week series you will have an in-depth introduction to each of the movements so that you can sustain a home practice.

Sign-up for the series, drop-in for $13 or use a class card.

Nia 5 Stages of Self-Healing

In addition to my certification as a classic Nia instructor, I am also certified as a Nia 5 Stages of self-healing instructor. This body of work is deeply important to me and has been both body and life-transforming.

I learned the Nia 5 Stages practice at my white belt training in May 2010. The practice immediately resonated with me and I knew I wanted to delve into it both for self-growth and for teaching purposes. For the past 13 months I have spent 7-10 minutes every single day doing this practice and after each session I experience a new sensation of healing in my body. I feel stronger, taller (that's a big one for me!), more stable, aligned, balanced, limber, flexible, agile, mobile, graceful and more keenly aware of my body sensations. I call the 5 stages my "magic" practice and I hope to share it with as many people as possible.

What is the Nia 5 Stages?
The Nia 5 Stages of self-healing is an integrative practice based on the five stages of human development: embryonic, creeping, crawling, standing and walking. This practice is dedicated to self-healing and to the using these five movements as stimulation to feel better in your body.

The object of practicing the five simple movements that comprise the Nia 5 Stages is to prepare the body to become more functional, energetic, and comfortable while doing any movement such as: dancing, walking, running, yoga, martial arts, etc. This practice allows you to sense the natural ability your body has to realign itself and self-heal through movement.

When the body moves through the Nia 5 Stages, the body, mind, emotions, and spirit naturally realign, unify and integrate, leaving a greater sense of wholeness, health and well-being. Developed as a practice, these stages lead to changes that improve one's physical comfort, ability to move efficiently, and improvement in whole body functioning and posture.

I taught weekly Nia 5 Stages classes in Greenwood for 6 months but due to schedule changes am now seeking a new space to hold weekly classes. Stay tuned! In the meantime, below is a short video demonstrating the Nia 5 Stages.
