Online Nia – Survey

Sören Petersen — Fri, 11 Sep 2020 08:55:18 +0000

I have been teaching Nia online for almost half a year now. An exciting time! Off the cuff we created an online offer at the end of March and are still learning and improving it every week.

To take your wishes and needs into account in our planning we created a short survey. 5 questions that can be answered in a few minutes.

All answers are anonymous and are only used for internal use. Thank you for your time and support!

“Keeping the practice alive” – A short review of the past belt trainings

Sören Petersen — Thu, 10 Sep 2020 15:19:47 +0000

Two months of Nia intensive trainings behind us. Many have waited a long time for this Nia belt week and I was really a little bit nervous. A Sense of new beginning.

“Do it like it was the first time!” – has become my motto over the last few months.

Disinfecting the premises and keeping the distance between participants are just the obvious things that have changed. But also a chance of becoming aware of one`s own body by being not so close with the group. Connecting in different ways.

For me it feels very strange not to hug my Nia students at the ceremonial handover of the Nia Belt. We now replace the connection of a hug with deep eye contact.
We had magical moments in Switzerland, Hamburg and Schondorf and used music and movement as a source of healing for our body and mind.

It was great to feel the diversity of the participants again. In Switzerland, some participants had never danced Nia and we were able to enjoy many great moments outdoor at Lake Sempach. In Hamburg I was able to welcome many Nia teachers from France to the Brown and Black Belt, that I hadn’t seen in a very long time. And in Schondorf there was a woman who has been climbing professionally for many years and who discovered Nia as a balance and addition to her previous sport.

One of the great lessons for all of us was to strengthen our balance and our nervous system through movement. An important tool that you can always choose by practicing Nia so as not to be overwhelmed by the uncertainties that lie in the future.

I am very happy to continue to share my trainings and Nia practice with you online and offline. You can take part at any time, even without knowledge.

“Jump in!”

See you soon, love Ann!

Nia Belt Trainings 2020/2021 – real and in person

Sören Petersen — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 11:08:52 +0000

The first Nia fans successfully completed their training in the Corona summer. Of course it’s different, but I can also say from the bottom of my heart that it feels right to dance with Nia fans again.

Not that tight. Unfortunately not with so many international participants, as many cannot travel, but incredibly powerful and energizing.

Due to Corona, the situation on site is as follows:

As a precaution, please always have a mask with you for all circumstances. You will also need them when shopping, etc.
The premises are regularly ventilated
Disinfectant is available on site
In the event of symptoms, a negative test must be presented or the participant may not continue to participate
Due to the “10m2 per person” regulation, approx. 13 participants (belt participants + visitors + trainers) are allowed in premises
Showers can be used and must be disinfected after each use
All cups and glasses are not allowed to be washed by hand. Please always use the dishwasher.
Everyone must bring their own pillows, knee pads or blankets.
JOY OF MOVEMENT remains a prerequisite 😉
