The Dance of Yin and Yang and the Upper Extremities

The focus of tonight’s class is dancing with the energies of yin and yang with our upper extremities.

Nia is based on The Body's Way, which is a method of using the body according to its inherent design and function.

The Body's Way is guided by five fundamental principles, one of which is that the Body is balanced in Yin and Yang.

Indispensable and equally important, the body is comprised of both yin and yang energies.

Yin is the soft, feminine, inward-directed energy, manifested in smooth, melodic movements.

Yang is the harder, masculine, outward-directed energy, reflected in explosive, rhythmic movements.

We will work with sensing and dancing with both energies tonight. Join me at 6:30pm at Fresh Fitness and Dance in Wallingford.

The Dance of Yin and Yang

The focus of tonight’ routine in movement with the energies of “Yin and Yang.” The intent us to connect with these two sensations that balance and complement each other. Yin is the sensation of horizontal energy flow that connects to the front and to the back of the body. Yang is the sensation of a vertical energy flow that connects to the top and to the bottom of the body. Yin and Yang is the balance of the soft and explosive, mobility and stability, and the feminine and masculine.

Come play tonight at 5:30pm at Open Flight Studio in the University District.
