25.01.2022 Done and dusted. 20 Pilates classes in 40 days. Feeling like a boss. Baby girl hit 6 months this weekend. That was realistic and healing timing for me to get moving again. Made sure not to put external pressure on myself, and to listen to my body. Not gonna lie, it made me miss Nia....big time. Looking forward to putting my time and energy toward something that is good for my spirit AND my body in the coming weeks. #feelinggood #littlesteps #feelinglikemyselfagain #kxpilates #sarahmarienia #niamom #niatechnique #healthybodyimage

19.01.2022 The Body's Way. In Nia we choreograph movement based on the way our human anatomy was designed to function. Motion that is sustainable, healing, strengthening, and perfectly adaptable for each individual's unique body. 52 moves, placed in varying sequences and combinations, set to inspiring and soul stirring music, brings you a not-your-average workout that addresses the body, and touches the soul. Ever think YOUR body can't move in "this" way or "that" way? In Nia we belie...ve there is noBODY that is right or wrong for dancing through life! Want to know more?

18.01.2022 This throwback Thursday post by Nia Australia beautifully hints at how deep the Nia practice actually goes. I find it such a privilege to step in.

18.01.2022 #ThrowbackThursday Nearly 40 years ago, Nia was developed by Debbie Rosas and Carlos AyaRosas, not by following books or classes, but by following the design an...d structure of the body itself. "Embodiment" "Somatics" and "Mindfulness" are (finally!) being integrated into fitness, mental health and trauma therapy, but Nia has been teaching people to condition, self-heal and thrive through body awareness for decades. The blend of masculine and feminine energies is an important part of Nia, and one of the 5 principles of the Body's Way, "The body is balanced in yin and yang." We can tell that the body is comprised of both yin and yang energies simply by observing the body itself. Yin, the feminine, soft, watery, relaxing, receptive and inward directed energy is constantly being manifested by the body’s smooth, melodic movements. Yang, the masculine - form-focussed, fiery, assertive and outward directed energy is reflected by more explosive, rhythmic movements. Inhaling is yin, while exhaling is yang. Intense activity is yang, while rest is yin. Warming up is yang while cooling down is yin. All of these aspects of living and moving are indispensable and equally important. Thank you Debbie + Carlos for the incredible gift of Nia! #niahistory #niaaustralia #yinyang #embodiment

18.01.2022 My dear friend and mentor Debbie-Lee Van Ginkel. This is joyful Movement!!!

15.01.2022 Nia puts Pause on Anxiety . . It's true. I have thoroughly tested this theory. ... . I have gone from highly strung and stressed to looking as "zen"ed out as I do in this picture in the space of about 10 minutes. And I felt it too. In every cell in my body. . . Many times. Over many years. . . But I chose to step in first. To try it out. To experiment with the movement in my body. And it paid off!!

13.01.2022 My favourite place to end up after an hour of Nia. Muscles deliciously warm, breath expansive, joints lubricated, heart happy, mind clear. The pretty comes from within. There is sweat on my skin and it's aglow with a redness of vitality. Movement is my medicine and my beauty regime. ... #sarahmarienia #niatechnique #2gether #amazingchoreography #sickmusic #happyme

08.01.2022 This moment. Right here. When you don't quite know where you end and the air begins: that's the moment you feel free. Free from judgment, free from ego, free from expectations. And free to do more, be more. That is the promise of Nia #sarahmarienia #niatechnique #joyfulmovement #inmybody #somaticwisdom #mindbodysoul #livingroomdanceparty

06.01.2022 Self sovereignty means the ability to choose the direction of one’s own life, and being the exclusive authority over one’s own body and mind. Nia offers choice... ~ you choose how you move your body. We understand that every body is unique, and how you move, feel, think, respond, and sense is a deeply personal connection that each person is encouraged to figure out for themselves. An ultimate practice for awareness and embodiment! See more

03.01.2022 This year we celebrate 16 years of Nia White Belt trainings here in Australia!! And after a year of online only, in Australia we're blessed to be able to again... come together for the 6.5 day Nia White Belt Immersion. Take in these photos and feel the inside-out glow of aliveness and connection that alchemises in our "Joy bubble". I did White Belt without ever having done Nia before and not seeing myself as a dancer I loved the experience. It felt like I was feeding my soul and the sense of community with my Nia sisters was wonderful. I also made a lifelong friend in the process who I treasure. ~ Sherry Fletecher The training offers a well-crafted balance between cognitive and experiential journeying Listening to your body learning from it consciously tracking pain and pleasure and then choosing to be kind to your body, to move with the joy of movement and feel the power of your aliveness. For the first time, the 6.5 day LEARN immersion is now supported by 13 weeks of self-paced EMBODY resources and classes online, plus 6 coaching calls with Sophie, all included. Feeling called to step in? Register now... Kingscliff 20-26 April - 6 spots left Brisbane 5-11 July - 15 spots left niaaustralia.com.au/belts
