A Very Special Silent Nia Class....free!

Join us in a free Nia class open to the public! Chances are you'll meet an old friend or make a new one!

The name of this routine is Chakradancer and will focus on the 7 main energy centers of the body: root, sacrum, solar plexus, heart, throat, head, and spirit. As such, I will not be providing verbal queues.

The focus of this special class will be using our senses, as well as breath and balance. For those of you who have experienced it before, know this is a very special class. The music is beautiful! I will start class promptly at 9:00am.

The following is information that you will need if you enter class after I start:

• I will signal movement change by either clapping twice or tapping the side of my leg. Ideally, when I signal, that will mean there is either one more current movement remaining, or less. (Now, if I forget, then simply join me whenyou get to the move.)
• I'll show different levels of movement when appropriate. As always, work within the level your body tells you to.
• Have your yoga mat handy, meaning out of its roll and off to the side of the class space. Toward the end of class, we will be sitting on our mats for a short time. You may also choose not to use a mat.

I look forward to another exquisite Nia class with you all!
