The Wisdom of Aging

Admin — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:31:30 +0000

After turning 30 I paid less and less attention to my day of birth. As I mature my body reminds me of the amazing things that are happening within this vessel. Hot flashes keep me in the moment, encourage me to savor sleep, to find pleasure in the heat emanating from my heart……and I do. And with that I am feeling a very strong desire to celebrate moving into my wisdom years. Next month I will be 48 and I am hosting a Nia Jam. I would love it if you would come shake your groove thing with me. I have invited some special guests, we will dance, laugh, and celebrate being alive with much pleasure and joy.

Wear your favorite outrageous outfit, that provides freedom and ease, bring a dish for potluck and a beverage of your choice, along with $15 to get in, is all it takes. We will play within the confines of structure from 7-9:30 after said time it is up to you how you play. I desire no gifts other than the pleasure of your company. All proceeds will go to the Claresholm Animal Rescue Shelter. C.A.R.e.S

Date: Saturday April 13th, 2013

Place: Claresholm Community Hall

Time: Doors open at 6:30. We begin at 7-9:30ish

Cost: $15p/p or 2/$20

“We bless life by Dancing” Sufi

2013, exploration and vibrancy through the celebration of your beautiful body.

Each year I find myself more excited about the potential that awaits me. Had it not been for Nia I am not so sure that at 47 I would be feeling this way, but I do! Gratefully, joyfully, I celebrate life through dance. Immensely blessed is how I feel. When I ponder life I believe it is about celebrating being alive. Honoring my body as it is my vehicle. How I treat it defines my well being; emotionally, mentally, spiritually. I would love to have you join me in said celebration. Allowing yourself to awaken into the awesomeness of being human, sensing your body, getting fit, healthy and vibrant all through the medium of pleasure, via Nia, or Yoga.

I am very excited to dance and play with you. You may notice that I am feeling nomadic and I am sharing Nia in Okotoks, Claresholm, Lethbridge and Pincher Creek. Feel free to share with anyone who resides in said communities and may want to play.

You will find class schedules under “about Nia” hold the cursor over it and “classes” will show up. I look forward to sharing the joy of movement with you.

“You are unique, and if that is not fulfilled, then something has been lost.”- Martha Graham

And what a gift it is……

Have you ever thought of immersing yourself in Music, Movement, and Magic for a whole week? This is what we do in Nia White Belt Intensive Training. The White Belt is based on 13 Principles that create the elegant and intelligent foundation of the Nia Technique. Each training is 7 days in duration, about 55 hours. The learning design includes classes, lectures, discussion and exploration.

We learn both through experiential exercises and cognitively about: The Joy of Movement, The 52 Moves of Nia, Anatomy, Music Theory and Appreciation, Creativity and Free Dance, Awareness and Self Healing, The 9 Movement Forms, and Somatic/Sensation based Movement.

All of this culminates in a better understanding of who you are, movement with more ease & pleasure, expressing yourself creatively, increased awareness in your body, mind & spirit, and a wonderful bond with movement lovers just like you!

Most people attend the training for personal growth, improved fitness, fun and curiosity. It is also the first level of training for anyone considering a new career teaching Nia. In order to teach anything, one needs a strong personal practice and intimate knowledge. There are no tests, no teaching required. Teachers are required to become Livelihood Members and will learn their Nia routines post WB training

Right now – until the end of 2012 – Nia is offering a $100 discount on registration. Please check it out at www.nianow.com Only 2 weeks left!

This training will take place July 2-8th, 2013. Edison School, Okotoks, AB With the Amazing Roberta Mohler.

Integration of 2 classes and letting go…….

Admin — Fri, 07 Sep 2012 17:39:57 +0000

I hope this day is finding you filled with wonder and joy as you live your life expressing who you are, a spark of the divine having your very own unique experience.

As I share with you the letting go of early morning Yoga, and the integration of “Senior Nia and Mommy and Me Nia” I feel sense of “ahhhhhh” flood over me. My “should do” reaction is gently placed to the side as I honor my inner guidance. The place of intuition that resides within me is being acknowledged and validated for trusting and listening to her gentle nudges.

Here’s to loving yourself, all that you are and all that you wish to be.

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” Paulo Coelho

Fall classes of 2012. Let us be awakened,inspired and feel good in our bodies.

Joy is a conduit for living life more fully, expansively and playfully. I am honored to share Nia an incredible conductor of JOY. Learning to love your body, which in turn inspires one to love their life, is greatly enhanced through the practice of Nia, movement medicine for the body and soul.

I am eager to return to my Nia practice and share it with those that feel inclined to fall in love with the sensations of being alive. The schedule is on “class” page beside “about Nia”. I hope you will join me for this amazing practice that has taught me to blossom and fall in love with the awesomeness of being alive. Nia is truly for everyBODY regardless of age, gender or fitness level. To register please email me at lisebet@telusplanet.net
