Vibrant Vitality with Carol
Nia is for everyBody, shape, fitness level or age. Beginners are most welcome and donβt forget your water bottle and towel or yoga mat.
A powerful fusion of dance, martial arts, and mindfulness practices, Nia is a holistic movement and wellness practice nourishing each aspect of your life - body, mind, and soul. The bliss of Nia is how easy it is! All you need is a desire to move a little or a lot and dive into something new.

Magic is the perfect way to describe this weekend of self-discovery guided by our compassionate, wise and skilful trainers, Sophie Marsh | Nia Teacher + Trainer and Laurie Bass.
Just looking at this photo I feel the joy we all experienced journeying with our bodies and the 52 moves, stepping out with a deeper relationship to both!
So grateful! ππ½πππ©΅π
I'm reflecting this morning on this amazing somatic and transformative experience with two of the most remarkable Nia trainers, Sophie Marsh and Laurie Bass. Each of them incredible teachers and trainers in their own right, but, when they come together...pure magic happens!
I am now half way towards perfect vision after cataract surgery yesterday on my left eye. Thursday will be my right and, from what everyone tells me, a whole world of remarkable sights will open up for me!!!
I am so grateful for all of this... my new knowledge, insights and self-awareness in my Nia practice which I can so joyfully share on my return from Europe and my own personal growth...sensing the real me as I explore the intrinsic beauty of me, of Nia, of moving in my body.
Thank you, Sophie and Laurie, and thank you to all the beautiful heart-centred souls who said YES to 52 Moves with me!
Sending love to all, Carol ππ½π©·πΈππ
Celebrating these Aussie movers, their dedication to embody joy and taking their Nia practice to the next level. We had a BLAST with you!!

Form...Freedom...Celebration.. I am so grateful to all of these beautiful souls who came to dance this morning with open hearts.
We celebrated the end of a wonderful season of Nia and expressed our gratitude to our friends Virginia Anne Woods and Ananda Platel who are stepping out onto a new path. Who knows where their journey might lead. Maybe back to us. πππ

For some time now, the world has seemed a little blurry to me...so, it's time for some new lenses, removing the cataracts so that I can see clearly! Imagine... a whole new perspective!! π³
Once my eyes have healed I'm headed to Ireland and Sweden to visit family then on to Spain to drink in the culture. I'll return to the Sacred Earth Women's retreat then home!
My final class for this season is tomorrow, Thursday 24 September 9:30am. This class will be a true celebration. Firstly, of all the magical Nia moments we shared and, secondly, to farewell (for now) our gorgeous friend Virginia Anne Woods. We have so enjoyed your company, your friendship and the many gifts you bring to the dance floor. Happy travels! ππ½π€π
I hope you'll join us for this very special class! All welcome! Carol

The theme is about taking small steps to support your health and wellbeing β with a focus on five simple areas: fuel, move, rest, breathe and connect.
These are also areas you practise every time you step into an Nia class.
πΈMoving in a way that feels nourishing for your body.
πΈTaking time to breathe and be present.
πΈListening to your body.
πΈConnecting with your body and the people around you.
Looking after your health doesnβt have to be perfect or complicated. Sometimes, it can simply start with finding a way to move that brings you joy.

"What you seek is seeking you." Rumi
I have recently been dancing with and coming to appreciate the beauty of balance. Nia makes it possible for us to explore the dualities... when I love deeply, I experience loss more acutely, when I feel ungrounded, I can bring in more yang to balance my yin, more stability to secure my mobility.... the body demands balance.
I feel very honoured, as a teacher, to provide a safe space where everything is welcome. Come as you are.
At the end of each class I feel whole, the dualities dissolve into oneness. Nia truly is a pathway to well-being, holistic fitness, health, power, and vitality.
Looking forward to dancing through life with you soon! All welcome... no prior experience needed.
