Awareness of Upper Arm Bone ~ Sensing Direction ~ March Focus

Awareness of Upper Arm Bone

Sensing Direction

A healthy upper arm bone is sensed as hanging,

free to swing, turn, swivel and fluidly rotate in many directions

while smoothly moving through space at various speeds.

In the Month of March,

we will learn what it means to

sense relaxed holding,

to sense core support from underneath,to sense expression of power and grace,

ALL through dynamic ease.

Anita Stark steps in to every Nia class with purpose and presence to encourage members to transcend fitness. As a body and life movement artist her purpose is to create happy and healthy bodies, minds, emotions, and spirits. Simply, when a body is happy it is healthy, and when a body is stressed it is unhappy. For 28 years, she has created community in fitness classes where members can be authentic, safe and take risks with movement. With Fantastic music, members who practice Nia come away feeling emotionally uplifted, centered and fit.

In 1987, NIA revolutionized my career as a fitness professional. My goal in every NIA class is to interweave functional movement technique, intention, joy and community all for the benefit of the body, mind and soul. All classes are designed within the NIA program philosophy to enhance your potential to live a healthy and meaningful life by engaging in your senses and listening to your body. I understand chronic pain and dysfunctional movement in the body. At the age of eleven, I suffered temendous pain from an an S-curve Scoliosis. I was asked to wear a brace for 7 years, however, I declined. This began a pathway of moving to heal my body and avoding surgical fusion of my spine. I am grateful as a NIA licensed professional for 30 years, that I understand the importance of supporting sustainable movement in the body. Each NIA workout brings mindfulness to your dance movement experience leaving you energized, mentally clear, and emotionally balanced. See you on the dance floor.
