Cross-Training Body Mind Emotions Spirit | Rachael R. Resch

Thank you to my Nia community from the whole of my being.

Thank you to the Nia teachers who have been holding the space for the practice.  Thank you to the Nia students who have been creating the space for the practice of Nia at The DanceSpace in Ashland, Oregon — during the last four extraordinary weeks in particular, and over the last ten years as well.

You are, individually and collectively, an astonishing continually blooming flower of grace, diligence, beauty, dignity and the joy of movement.

Thank you for receiving the practice of Nia into your lives, for bringing her so fully into your bodies, hearts, minds and spirits so that she can sprout up, flower in new, never-before-seen ways, reseed herself and continue to grow more joy in the ecosystems of the body and the world.

It has been truly a privilege to be a student this week and be so well held in the space of Nia.

And it was positively thrilling to break a sweat in class this morning!  It was the first sweat in weeks that wasn’t from detoxing or a nice, big pot of hot tea.

Thank you, Nia community.

I love you.
