I was a free spirit, a wild child, from birth. My mother would dress me up and less than a minute later, I was outside in the mud, with my shoes off. When I was a teenager, she would laugh and roll her eyes, as I ran out the door in the dead of winter, snow on the ground, with my shoes in my hands.
I LOVE to take off my shoes!
Now, living in Texas, with hardwood floors, I LOVE walking barefoot all day in my house. When you visit, you will see a pile of shoes by all the doors, and hear an invitation from me to take your shoes off.
Nia is a barefoot practice. We can make it a daily ‘practice’ to be barefoot, and enJoy the many benefits, from strengthening our feet and arches, to sensing where we are all the time through thousands of proprioceptors.
And guess what? Science now says to take your shoes off for better health!
Read on and join in a Nia class soon. Your feet will LOVE you!
