peace


The Nia Technique (Pronounced 'nee-uh') is a transformative movement practice integrating dance arts, martial arts, and healing arts into a high-powered synergistic and sensory experience. Nia will strengthen the body and relax the mind allowing the Spirit to soar! This practice will keep you in shape and help you to rediscover the joy of movement, the joy of life as well as loving your body and mastering the art of living a passionate and healthy life. Creativity is unlimited, offering student’s precision as well as choreographic choices that utilize whole-body, expressive, and grounded movement. Nia is a "moving meditation" where movement and impeccable meaning empower each person in their Nia practice as well as in their authentic expression. Nia is gentle on the body and adaptable to every level of fitness, age, and body type.

From the world of martial arts, Nia is infused with the power, focus, and mindfulness of T'ai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, and Aikido. From the world of dance, Nia integrates craft, technique, and the expressiveness of Duncan dance, jazz, and contemporary dance forms. From the world of healing, Nia offers a multidimensional venue of wisdom, inner technology, and curative nurturing while enhancing exploration of personal authenticity, competence, and connection to self, others, and environment through Yoga, Alexander Technique, and the teachings of Moshe Feldenkrais. The aforementioned combined with the modern information about the natural world, the body, and the psyche create an effective and relevant system as we individually and collectively face the challenges of being human in the 21 st century.

The Nia Technique class format invites us to seek joy, awareness, and pleasure in our bodies, movements, and relationships. This reframes the paradigm of fitness shifting away from a human doing to the enjoyment of a more connected human being . It is currently practiced in 45 countries throughout the world and continues to spread across the globe.

"Movement, our first language, touches the centers of our being beyond the reach of vocabularies of reason or coercion. It communicates from the innermost soul that which cannot truly be expressed by words." -Unknown

The BodyTalk Technique

The BodyTalk Technique is a simple and effective holistic technique supportive of bodymind pathways in operating as nature intended. Through exposure to the stresses of day-to-day life, homeostasis and personal empowerment can become compromised, which often leads to a decline in well being, coping efficacy and resilience. Uncompromising these lines of communication empowers the bodymind mechanisms towards restoration for optimal functioning.

The BodyTalk Technique is founded from a combination of advaitic philosophy, modern physics, advanced yoga, mathematics, the energy dynamics of acupuncture, and the clinical findings of applied kinesiology and allopathic wisdom. This system facilitates communication with the inner technology (innate wisdom) by employing neuromuscular biofeedback. The BodyTalk Technique is a stand-alone system that can be seamlessly integrated into any well being framework, increasing its effectiveness and promoting healing and empowerment. BodyTalk's major assets are simplicity, safety, speed of results, and effectiveness. The bodymind is a complex ecosystem involving a delicate balance between physiological and biochemical functions, emotional and mental interactions, environmental influences, hereditary and genetic factors, and the need to synchronize all of these factors into a cohesive whole for balance, vitality, and optimal well being.

BodyTalk is non-invasive, objective in application, and works efficiently on humans and animals alike.

One of the major areas addressed by the BodyTalk Technique is the realm of stress management and personal and spiritual growth. BodyTalk is a very powerful tool in the field of personal development to support balancing of the bodymind.


STRESS EFFECTS OUR HEALTH AND WELL BEING

Stress has a profound effect on the bodymind and its ability to heal and function at an optimal level. When an individual experiences ongoing stress, it can overload the energetic circuits of the bodymind, causing them to fail or be severely compromised. This is just like plugging too many appliances into an outlet and tripping a circuit breaker in your home. If you have ever blown a fuse then you know that you must go reset it. Often times the body cannot reset these blown circuits on its own resulting in a less than ideal state of functioning. This ultimately leads to degeneration, illness, and pain - a sign that the bodymind is simply falling behind in the healing and/or homeostasis process. Stress has a strong correlation with illness and dis-ease in many emotional, psychological, and somatic forms.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE

One of the major areas addressed by the BodyTalk Technique is in the realm of stress management and personal and spiritual growth. BodyTalk is a very powerful tool in the field of personal development balancing the bodymind. Practitioners and clients alike can experience changes in the way they relate to others as well as the relationships they have with friends, family, and themselves. Many individuals find new perspectives or improvements within their life or work and have reported an increase in the overall well being and genuine life satisfaction they experience on a daily basis. The personal development experienced through BodyTalk can empower an individual on all levels and in a multiplicity of ways to include creativity.
