Breath, a new Nia routine, is growing and evolving! This week and next, I will be exploring some final tweaks. I would love for YOU to be part of the creation!
Breath is the focus of the routine, with the intent to notice how the 9 Movement Forms of Nia and FreeDance activate the breath with different qualities. “Slow, mindful Breath…Breath of precision…
Spherical/Harmonious Breath…Breath of fun, showmanship, expression… Breath of shapes… Free-spirited, honest, natural Breath… Conscious awareness of the sensation of Breath… Breath that aligns the bones and joints… Breath of movement from the top, open and spacious… Breath of discovery, moving, exploring, creating”
The music lends itself to Breathing, sounding, and singing, including a variety of rhythms, melodies, harmonies… as well as genres. The movements are simple, adaptable, and also very cardiovascular when bringing awareness to the Breath, breathing qualities and patterns. There is a weaving of the nine Movement Forms and FreeDance throughout the routine, with the Breath as the connective tissue.
My vision for Breath is to widen the audience that Nia reaches. Breathworkers, Yogis, those who believe they have two left feet, those who believe they have no voice… Breath is for everyBody.
Breath is YOU… your prana… your life force energy.
Are you ready to breathe? See YOU on the dance floor!
Inhale, and smell the moment… Exhale, and let go. Let it flow.
With deep love and a full cleansing Breath…
