INNO is a movement experience created by Helen Terry, adapted from the Nia Routine Bloom.
An Adapted Movement experience is where Helen plays with the choreography from an Original Nia Routine (Bloom) and adapts the moves to the new music. The new music in the INNO experience is a playlist that evolved from Helen’s quest to find music for the “Return to Innocence” Archetype experience, one of the sessions/features in the Soma Ranch, Authentic Healing Retreat.
“Thank you fellow Nia Teachers for your fabulous suggestions for “return to innocence” songs. I hope you like this playlist.”
Nia teachers out there, are encouraged to replicate/play with the experience.
Let the choreography from the first 2 songs of Bloom blend into the first song of “Inno”,
The rest of the tunes adapt well, song for song, all the way through Warm up, Get Moving and Cool Down
In the Floorplay cycle, improvise your way to stepping out ~ “take it home”!
In Nia Technique we have a wonderful system called 8BCs where we can decode music with a system of counting, noting and distinguishing patterns in the music. Here’s some examples of the bars to this movement experience.
FYI The app Helen uses to decode the song, and structure these bars, was created by her daughter, Liliana Terry. It’s an excellent brain training and music app called “Map My Song” that can be used to decode music and create “bars”.
