In Nia our ideal is to deliver a holistic experience, integrating the body, mind, emotions and spirit.
When we (whether a Nia teacher or a Nia practitioner) can access what, in Nia, we call “creative source”, the ability to draw emotions from within, we can then develop the skill to express what is being felt on the inside out into the world as a whole body, whole Soma, whole being expressing.
Through the Nia training programs, we receive tools, for both on the dance floor and dancing through life, to help us express more fully what we are experiencing on the inside outwardly with others. The practices and the developed “felt sense” skills, provides us with the ability to connect, to be seen, to relate and many more wonderful gifts.
In this clip enjoy a fabulous parallel, how, in conductor school, students learn to use their emotions, their felt sense, to draw out the emotion out of the individual parts of the orchestra to manifest the ultimate experience. A moving, memorable, moment for all involved. Very similar to how in a Nia class experience the Nia teacher wants to help draw out the emotions in the music, the participants and themselves to have a healing experience.
