I am going to be showing you some tips about the Nia technique. After the dance arts we have healing arts and the healing arts are yoga, conscious alignment of bones and breaths, sensing how we use our bones and our body for strength, flexibilities, relaxation and then we also have Feldenkrais. A Feldenkrais is about breaking habits consciously doing small movements, a lot of Feldenkrais is actually done lying down and in a still position just moving an arm, or maybe moving your head and then having a lot of rest. I think about 70% of Feldenkrais is actually just lying on the floor relaxing. The first time I took Feldenkrais I just moved like this for like a couple of hours and I was like what is this, why am I doing it, then I woke up the next morning and I felt like I had the best massage in my life and I was hurt. So, Feldenkrais is a wonderful way of breaking habits and it may will help you to have better posture from that and the final healing art is Alexander technique and that is how we look at our body how it connects with electromagnetic outputs as well as gravity downwards and from that we have more ease in the body, more alignment through the posture of the pelvis, the chest and the head. So these nine movement forms of martial arts, tai chi, Tai Kwon do and aikido and then dance arts of Jazz, Duncan and modern and then the healing arts of yoga, Feldenkrais and Alexander technique put them all together and you have got the Nia technique.
