Thank you for stepping into and playing a somatic Thank you for stepping into and playing a somatic unfolding of how the Nia technique adds value to your life force energy. The Nia skills connected us with inner body insights to be able to respond instead of react towards life. From the Ground up! All the way to the skill of Release! It was a great EXHALE of 2025, creating space and feeling Relaxed, Alert and Excitedly awaiting the flow of 2026 🐴

RELEASE! 
“The Key is fun.
People think the Key is love or commitment.
That is not the case.
You love the people you have fun with.
A man you are having fun with will love you forever.
commitment doesn’t lead to fun.
Love doesn’t lead to fun.
People sometimes do very violent, hurtful things in the name of love or commitment.
But fun
always leads to love.”
Regena Thomashauer
Mama Gena’s School of Womanly Arts

🌱 Just like in a garden, clearing, planting seeds, nurturing and nourishing, The Nia (Neuromuscular Integrative Action) technique allows us to step into a now moment, leaving all distractions behind, playing with focus and intention to move our beings so that we can feel, heal, optimise life force energy and step out into our day embodied, relaxed, alert and waiting for things and responses to unfold with ease and grace. 

You are invited to make an appointment with yourself every Thursday morning, to fill your cup, feeling so good that sharing and caring is a natural way of being. Eventually being ultimately embodied, that escapism dissolves.

Nia with You this Thursday 07h15!

Thank you to those that came out on a Super Rainy Thank you to those that came out on a Super Rainy Day to playfully understand and unfold how we move with Balance in our Nia practice and how it can help us in our daily being as well! 

A new person to our monthly Nia playshops mentioned that she was pleasantly surprised by how much more there is to Nia than one thinks. ✨ 

It is such an amazing journey that we have played with so far, playing from Ground • Pause • Centre • Engage • Balance, to step into INTEGRATE this month of November! 

Join us for a especially fun Nia Playshop, allowing a  slowed down somatic Nia experience, playing and gaining insights with the skill of INTEGRATE. 

“Integration, is what happens when an experience is mixed with even a whisper of memory or emotion, creating a sensation or a feeling.

Invite yourself to be fearlessly open. Get ‘intuit’ “- Juice

What an amazing morning connecting with the play o What an amazing morning connecting with the play of Pause! 
the next playshop, CENTRE 🎯, is on Sunday 31 August. Same pla(y)ce, same time 🫶🏼🌱

We left the playshop today each with an organic orange 🍊 from a local garden, with the intention to find a moment to PAUSE, being the moment with one’ now-body and now-experience.
I have actually never opened an orange with only my hands and it was a very pleasant experience of p a u s e ... as I had juicey hands not having the ability to be distracted to do something else but to finish my pausing moment finding the moment of harmony (JoY!) of action and silence, simultaneously 🌱

This week I invite to play from our hands. Here is a short article on hands from Debbie Rosas (the founder of Nia) as the inspiration of our Nia play this week!
