Nia "Ignite" Immersion

Thank you guests, together we raised $350 for St. Jude, the Soma 2020 Charity.

An “immersion” is where we immerse ourselves in the Nia routine. We had a fabulous afternoon Listening to the Music, FreeDancing, taking the class on NiaTV, getting a little glimpse of the process of learning a Nia routine. We were then primed and ready for a wonderfully “loose yet slightly tight” Nia class experience of Ignite. This “JAM” team taught Nia class was led by Helen, Holly, Yvonne, Peggy, Lauren and Susan (who was attending the Nia white belt and took a bold jump/plunge into teaching)

This was the first time we’ve introduced an immersion in the middle of a Nia White Belt training at Soma Ranch and it’s certainly not going to be the last! This concept proved to be an excellent and most successful community building event. We found this  “open house” afternoon was a wonderful way to introduce the White Belt trainees to the community, to open their eyes to the potential and possibility of collaboration and to also In turn our local Soma Ranch community get to celebrate the White Belt trainees on their path to deepening their practice.

Attendees came from near and far. Regular participants, folks who’d been absent for a while, teachers, belts, newbies, all came together and had a grand time, with everybody having fun learning and dancing together.

Thank you Joy, Laura, Chris, Peggy, Darlene, Amy, Ryan, Holly Jeni and all the White Belt participants.
