Susan’s Playlists for March 11-15, 2013
Below are the playlist from a week of classes focused on Body Language. Our minds certainly move our bodies, but our bodies also move our minds. Our focus played with both arm and hand movements as well as body posture. Nia Principle 9: Creative Arm & Hand Expressions trains and conditions the body (all those little muscles get lots of action!), engages the mind (it takes concentration to move feet and hands!), and allows for expression (a little dramatic style never hurts!). We also played with the idea that the way we hold our bodies communicates not just to others, but internally to ourselves. (If you missed it, definitely check out Amy Cuddy’s TED Talk about this. Then strike a Wonder Woman pose and get powerful.)
Our friends in Houston at Helen Terry’s NiaMoves Studio and from Nia communities all over the area (see their photo above) danced the One Billion Rising anthem, Break the Chain, as the pregame show at the Houston Rockets NBA game on Wednesday. I love how they are spreading the love!
Enjoy the music. Remember that we’re celebrating St. Patrick’s Day on Monday, Mar 18 at 1045am with Firedance! So wear your green on Sunday AND Monday, and join us to dance your O’Self!
As always, please let me know if you have any questions and how I can help more.
Love,
Susan
