Notes About This Event

This interactive workshop will integrate the healing art and science of Nia and Naturopathic Medicine
In order to look and really feel radiant, you need to move your body each and every day. That might just be taking the stairs, or something more fun like Nia. Nia is a movement form blending various dance martial arts and healing arts, uplifting music and energy. It is empowering and creative, freeing and mood elevating in addition to being a great cardio work-out.
Nia helps detoxing as it balances not only the body but also the mind and spirit. It fully works the muscles, gets the lymphatic system moving and gives your skin a beautiful glow!.We are exposed to toxins every day so getting the body moving and sweating is a great way to detox.
After winter hibernation, cleansing is a natural process that rejuvenates our health. Supporting healthy detoxification can help improve energy, stimulate metabolism, balance hormones, support digestion, improve skin radiance and support emotional wellbeing. Welcome spring feeling healthy & rejuvenated!
In this 3-hour participatory workshop (including a one hour Nia class) you will be introduced to various tools to detox body, mind and spirit such as:

Nia • Understanding why detoxification is essential for health • Learning how to support cleansing on physical & emotional levels • Exploring the impact of environmental toxicity & how to reduce exposure • Discovering food, herbs and lifestyle tips to support healthy detoxification
