The Body’s Way is the guiding philosophy behind Nia, a fusion of martial, dance, and healing arts that is practiced by people of all shapes and sizes in more than 45 countries. In this workshop, Nia cocreator Debbie Rosas is your guide to learning the fun-infused Nia technique and the life-enhancing philosophy it incorporates.

In barefoot classes set to soul-stirring music, you learn Nia’s unique combination of 52 moves that correspond with the main areas of your body. You also discover how to follow the guiding sensory-based philosophy of the Nia technique to condition your body, self-heal, and find more pleasure in life. You learn how to:

• Perform movement with maximum efficiency and minimal effort
• Achieve balance by equalizing movement from left to right and top to bottom
• Integrate smooth, “soft” movement and explosive, “hard” movement
• Engage in unbounded, three-dimensional movement
• Listen for your body’s feedback, which is experienced as either pleasure or pain

This workshop is appropriate for anyone, including fitness instructors.

STRUT YOUR STUFF - A Choreographic Nia Adventure in Paradise

Do you want to Strut Your Stuff by sharing your personalized Nia choreography with other Nia belts?

Join us for the first annual Strut Your Stuff choreographic Nia adventure on the island of Oahu, Hawaii! Spend four days sharing your best Nia choreography and learning that of others as we create two phenomenal vertical routines you can take home and share with your Nia community. With the support of Nia Trainers Allison Wright and Vickie Saito, you will also partake in daily workshops designed to enhance your skills for creating body-centered choreography. Each workshop will address a key component of the routine creation process including playlist selection, movement transitions + katas, integration of 9 movement forms, modeling, cuing, and masterfully weaving a focus throughout each song of your routine.

All choreographers will be pre-selected via a video submission process. Guidelines will be released in June. Note: You do not need to submit choreography in order to attend this playshop. If you are a Nia belt who wants to witness and learn more about the routine creation process, this workshop is for you as well. We will create 2 routines over a 4 day period, allowing for a 2 day “immersion” into each routine. All participants will go home with a DVD of each routine filmed during the week.

Renee Tillotson will be hosting and producing this incredible event. Vickie Saito & Allison Wright will be leading this 4-day workshop and reviewing video submissions. If you are interested in joining us, please email Allison Wright at joyofmovement@gmail.com to receive further details.

Keep in mind that if you are interested in submitting choreography, video submissions are due no later than August 23rd.
