NIA Series – 5 Stages

Get ready to explore the profound healing power of movement your body will love in The Five Stages of Self-Healing. Instructor: Jackie Diner
Series 1: The base, your foundation. Each week we will study an area of anatomy: feet and ankles, shinbones, thighbones, and the hip joint. Paying attention to the movements and sensations while performing the 5 stages to bring a greater level of awareness for and appreciation of these parts of the body and how they function.
Series 2: The second session: The Core, the structural support for our body. Each week we will study an area of the anatomy: pelvis, chest, head, and spine. The three body weights when properly aligned add ease to our movement and balance. Explore how they each work separately and together to keep us strong and healthy.
