Bodyfulness — Seattle Nia with Dina

Our beloved Kathryn Gillett (aka Kung-Foo Kitty Kat) will be co-teaching this Friday night Nia class with me, Dina Innominato (aka All That and A Bag of Chips with Dip)

Don’t miss her Friday night debut!! Our focus will be FreeDance, so bring your love of spontaniety

Many of you have considered taking the White Belt and becoming a Nia Instructor. I want to raise the idea that the Deepen Your Niability – a 10-week series is a excellent interim step. It bring you closer to the form that supports the practice and provide a base of knowledge to give you an advantage for absorbing the material. 

The next Niability Series starts on May 15th.  For more information, click on the Niability Tab.

Pictured here are a few of our Niability students with me and Kathryn (the teachers):

I feel so blessed to be a part of such an amazing community!

Happy Earth Day, everyone!

May you move consciously today, in ways that connect your body and mind to the world around you.

Love Your Mother! I am going to make a donation today to a sustainable local farm.

Just for funzies! I love the look on his face…so cute!

Tonight through Sunday night, Oleta Adams, renowned gospel and pop singer will be gracing Jazz Alley with her melodic tones.

And we get in FOR FREE! (Everyone else pays a cover charge of $28.50.)

Call Jazz Alley and mention Dina’s Nia Class and you’ll get hooked up!

Thank you to John and Carla Dimitriou AND Rachael Millikan for this sweet deal!!!

Lunch with Debbie Rosas, co-creator of the Nia Technique, in Portland, Oregon on Saturday, April 11, 2009. Pictured from left to right, Sarah Westbrook, Dina Innominato, Debbie Rosas, Kathryn Helde, Kathryn Gillett.

Debbie was very excited to hear about our Deepen Your Niability Workshop and plans on doing everything in her power to get the word out about it. She hopes that more students and teachers become a part of this “awesome class” (her words).
The next 10-week workshop begins on May 15th, 2009. For more information, click on the Niability Tab above.

…that is, according to Nia, the BALANCE FINGER (one of the 52 moves!!)  I think that may be the first time in NY history when giving the finger wasn’t an insult!

“When you accurately perceive the fluidity of things,
you also begin to perceive the constancy behind them:
the creative, transformative, boundless, immutable Tao.
To see this is the ultimate education.”
Lao Tzu

I landed in Seattle last night after a long but uneventful flight from NY where I was visiting mi famiglia. This is a cute picture taken by my cousin, Jen, on Sunday night after family dinner at my Mom’s home. It was a great visit. From left to right: Caitlin, Dina, Chrissy, Maeve, Daniel…and STEPHEN! Yes, that’s our boy! He’s doing so well! He and his Dad were telling stories about his experiences in the hospital. I was os glad to be able to hear them in person.
