I hope you have all had a wonderful day. I taught two Valentine's Day classes yesterday with a mixture of music and steps from different routines. My students were wonderful as usual and dressed up in red and pink to set the mood. What a great way to celebrate this holiday instead of doing the same old things. It was great to celebrate the gift of a body and what it can do for us and to offer a little love to ourselves for a change. We had a great play list of music that really set the tone for the class using songs by Alanis Morissette, Sarah McLaughlin, Phil Colins, Savage Garden, Sinead O'Connor, Eurythmics and many more. We danced and shook our tail feathers~ We were smiling and sweating ~ We shared a little bit of ourselves with each other ~ We left feeling great, having done something positive for our Body, Mind, Emotions and Spirit. What better gift to receive on Valentine's Day! It is not about what we can get from others but what we can give to ourselves.
I hope your day was as great as ours,
Lisa

Welcome
My name is Lisa and I am a Certified Nia Instructor. I live in Canada and have done my trainings in Canada but Nia is a global fitness sensation with over 1600 teachers world wide.
Nia is a well-being fitness and lifestyle practice that uses the blend of energies from nine movement forms, including the Martial Arts (TaeKwon Do, Tai Chi and Aikido), Dance Arts (Jazz, Modern and Duncan Dance) and Healing Arts (Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique and Yoga). This combination creates a synergy that no other isolated technique can match. It is fun, accessible, adaptable, functional and good for any age, gender or fitness ability. Nia is transformational and movement medicine.
Nia follows a training system that is a belt system similar to martial arts, where there are 4 levels of training. White, Blue, Brown and Black are the main levels into degrees of Black and then Trainer (by invitation).
I have been teaching Nia for two years now and a student of Nia for close to 5 years. I am a Blue Belt and planning on doing my Brown Belt in 2007 in Portland, OR. USA. My first two levels were done here in Canada on the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia. If you would like more info on Nia visit my list of links.
This Blog is for sharing my insights, stories and personal musings on Nia and fitness in general. I hope you find the info interesting and I look forward to sharing a little bit of my world with you.
