So what to do today? Humm clean house, run some errands. Pop in my Nia DVD. Oh Nia, I'm so grooven w/ Nia.

I'm planning on taking the teacher train certificate sometime in the New year. I'm excited! Through movement we find health. Nia is the Body Mind spirit fitness and lifestyle practice. Through expressive movement -The body's way Nia empowers people to achieve physical, emotional, and spiritual well being.

Nia was created in 1983 by Carlos Rosas and Debbie Rosas. They say that NIA is a lot like the Tao. It cannot be defined by any one word or by a single phrase. It cannot be limited to a single way of thinking or perception because it is always evolving and changing, uniquely touching each and every person who experiences it. Nia is Martial arts, the healing arts, and dance arts all in one.

Anyone can do Nia, from to old! Man to Woman.
Here's what Nia can do for you:

*Increases the pleasure of living in your body.
*Creates weight loss and proper weight maintenance.
*Strengthens muscles, improves muscle tone, and increases muscle definition.
*Calms the mind and relieves stress.
*Improves endurance.
*Increases grace and flexibility.
*Balances the autonomic nervous system.
*Improves posture and can even increase height.
*It improves organ function -- particularly that of the heart and lungs.
*Enhances sensory awareness.
*Heightens sexual function.
*Builds reservoirs of chi.
*Alleviates emotional problems including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and anger-management problems.
*Improves circulation of blood and improves lymphatic drainage.
*Strengthens immunity.
*Improves concentration and cognitive function.

I love this picture!




A friend sent this to me and I really like it, so I decided to share.

Poem:
I am the Earth And the Earth is me.
Each blade of grass, Each honey tree,
Each bit of mud, And stick and stone Is blood and muscle,
Skin and bone.
And just as I Need every bit Of me to make My body fit,
So Earth needs Grass and stone and tree And things that grow here Naturally.
That's why across The world we say:
As long as life, As dear,
as free, I am the Earth And the Earth is me.
