“Nia is manifestation of Joy through music, movement, and magic. Your body is the source of the Joy of Movement. If anything distracts you, come back to the body. “… the White Belt Embody and Share Manuel
Hello Friends,
Nia is the manifestation of Joy, a joy that is with us through sorrow, pain, happiness, anticipation… any emotion. Nia teaches us that life can be lived with the Joy of Movement everyday… every moment… as a physical sensation in our body… a voice coming from the body knowing itself.
This has been a week of pure joy for me… emotional joy as well as the big “J” Joy. Surrounded by family and friends, and basking in the love of two young people getting married, many emotions sprung forth. As pictures, memories and stories unfolded, I felt happiness, sorrow, elation, loss, excitement, anticipation, longing… well, you name it… it was all there… and Joy was always present as I took a deep breath, and sensed my body supporting me. As Cameron was about to escort me down the isle before he met his bride, I looked at him and asked if he was ok. “I’m not sure Mom.” I whispered, “Breathe Cammy… exhale completely… feel your feet.” He smiled amidst teary eyes and I knew he was fine. It was a glorious weekend, and so much fun to have all of my (now 6) children with me!
I’m eternally grateful for my training and practice of Nia… the lessons and support that pop up everywhere I go, even as I’m about to be escorted by my handsome, soon-to-be married son. 🙂
In class, we encourage you to stay connected to Joy, sustaining it, regardless of the images or emotions that surface. Sustaining the Joy of Movement is a wonderful metaphor for life. With daily distractions, especially during emotional times, if we come back to sensation and back to our body’s pure joy of movement, we stay connected to our true spirit, our divine soul.
Look to the goodness and divinity all around you, within you, and express the full Joy of living right now.
Join me Tuesday morning at 6:45am, Wednesday 9:15am, and Jan on Friday at 5:30pm for a Joyous Fun Friday! I will be traveling to Mexico for a Joy-filled White Belt and Nia re-treat. We have an amazing community of teachers who will be supporting Joanie and me while we are away… keep the Joy alive in your body! Dancedancedance!
With lovelovelove, Adelle
