Free Nia Class
Creekside Community Centre
Wed, Apr 25, 12 – 1
Spring Nia classes have begun at the Scotiabank Dance Centre and the Roundhouse Community Centre, however you can still join in and get your groove on! The Creekside class is launching this week with a free opportunity for you to try it out and experience fitness in a fun, low-stress way.
Fitness, for me, has always been something best enjoyed with others. Doing it alone has never been motivating and I gave up in those situations in the past. But when I find a great teacher, class atmosphere, or potential workout friends, I find myself heading to energize my body with far less resistance. As a teacher, I also love connecting with students who are willing to commit to their health and have fun doing it. So I encourage you to bring people along or come and make new friends. Nia seems to naturally draw people who are open and willing to connect. It doesn’t mean you have to be best friends (although I’ve made a few wonderful ones along the way), just that it’s possible and can turn out to be a treat working out with a like-minded lot.
I have also taught Nia to many groups at events or organizational team building sessions. The smiles and laughter always come out and help people relax and find their joy. It may seem like it would be intimidating to do with colleagues, however having experience in organizational development has helped me facilitate in a way that creates a safe, fun, and playful environment that brings out people’s best. I love these occasions. Work can be stressful and challenging, so doing something fun with co-workers can really help you let go, break down unnecessary walls, and return to being in the moment in a human and joyful way. I have consistently found that when I taught Nia as part of an organizational program, people took the time to mention it in their feedback forms and share how valuable and energizing it was. It regularly stands out above the rest.
You can join any one of the three classes I have going on or buy a flexi-pass that allows you to attend classes at all three venues. Come on, try something new and dare to have more fun while getting a physical workout that invites play, laughter, and expression along with the usual benefits of a well-rounded fitness practice. It’s here for you.
