Thank you. I am glad you love my blogs.

When I write about Nia it is so difficult to keep it short and on ONE specific topic because Nia has so many sides and facets. So that is why sometimes there are so many links within a post because it is all connected——-ha, just like the body!

Since the body is all connected, when you move one part others usually move too. So yes, when you move the front the back moves, just like when the focus is the spine we aren’t just focusing on THE SPINE itself we are focusing on the other parts of the body that move the spine. Then we realize when we move our ribs this way our spine moves, etc.

I like to read out of the book because I hope people will be curious enough to buy it and want to learn more. So that would be the same with the Newsletter (thanks for that), they can be curious and sign up for that. Yay! The more people know the better . . . . if knowing is what they want. Some people just want to work out . . . that’s fine too!

Thanks you so much for reading and commenting!

I love your blogs. They have an earthy-ness about them that is so important for readers, and yet so much is contained within your blog -great information about focus and intent. I was delighted to read that the students liked the focus you used for Sexi (and interestingly enough, when one is focusing on the “front” of the body, the “back” of the body moves, too — it’s the intent and focus that is the key and you were spot on with it.

It was great to hear that you read out of the Nia book. I use parts of the book in my classes, too, but more often than not, I’ll take something from one of the current Newsletters. Last night, I used Debbie’s words to create a focus for our class on listening to the music. Debbie’s words are always so powerful and connect me as well as my students to the depth of Nia and why Nia is so different from other cardio fitness programs.

Much love to you my friend. Nice job (as usual).

And yeah, that is it, but we say “tweak it”. So if you are moving your arm (or whatever) in a way that causes pain, try moving it differently, “tweak it”.

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Birthday.
