 You’ve got one body. Get in it. Move. Discover the power of its design - whether for fitness, for self-healing or for the pure pleasure of feeling well for a lifetime. You were meant to feel good. I believe movement is medicine. I invite you to move your body, mind and soul by stepping into one of my trainings, workshops or class experiences. Transform how you move, think, feel and live.

What Is NiaWhat Is Nia

What Is Nia

Nia is feel good fitness for the body, mind and soul. It is a cardio-dance, fitness practice that blends energizing, soul-stirring music with choreography that is easy to follow and designed to move the whole body. Moves are infused with the power and precision of the martial arts; expression and fun of the dance arts; and the mindfulness of the healing arts. Nia is the original non-impact form of fusion fitness that is easily adapted for each person. More than just a workout, Nia is a holistic approach to health designed to address the body, mind, emotion and spirit. Nia reconnects people to the joy of movement. As an ongoing practice, Nia promotes mindful awareness of the body, holistic fitness, and a well-being lifestyle.

Move of the Week

Pelvic Circles 1

Pelvic Circles - one of my favorite moves - is a core move that may be practice in any stance with your feet parallel. Begin by circling your hips fluidly as if you are hoola hooping, paying attention to the rotation of your hip joints, and the ball of the hips rotating. Play with small circles, large circles, and evenly directing energy with the motion of your tailbone or pubic bone.  Feel the muscles of your core, your abdomen and lower back as you isolate and integrate your pelvis.

As you gain movement skill and balance, have a little fun by playing with different speeds, range of motions and energy variety. Continue below for Tip and Video!

She provided wonderful structure, and her delivery allowed a permission and opportunity for me to delve deeper and explore further. A different style and approach in delivering the course, which made it marvelous moment by moment. Thank you, Laurie! ”
