nia classes and in-person session update
Sara Vatore
Dear Community,
It has been quite the unfolding in the past couple of days. I am sending each one of you energetic love, support, ease and capacity as you flow with all the uncontrollables that are surfacing.
I have been thinking a great deal about how to all stay healthy during this time. Given the unknowns of the incubation period for the virus and other factors (flatten the curve article) I have decided to pause all Nia classes and my in-person sessions (online sessions still available). While I feel disappointed about not getting to dance in person together, this decision feels like a socially responsible choice for me. As the landscape shifts and changes I will keep you posted.
Nia and movement is something that gives us all a great sense of aliveness and togetherness. I invite us all to come together energetically! I have set an intention over this period to dance and move every day. Even though both my kids are home, I claim 20-60 minutes a day as MY OWN. Who will join me?
Part of what breaks our immune systems down and makes us more susceptible to illness and viruses is staying stuck in a stress response. There is a great deal of panic and fear in our collective right now and I am finding it easy to get pulled in. Over and over I am catching myself and bringing myself back to the here and now, to what is true for me. Stepping outside to drop into the vibration of Earth, syncing with her wisdom, and breathing in more space to my body, is my go-to method to shift uncomfortable emotions or feelings of overwhelm and bring in grounding, settling and regulation.
Dancing also moves the energy and emotions. It helps release all of what I am holding that is not mine. As someone who is very energetically sensitive, there is a significant swirling right now. It is also not my responsibility to take on what is not mine. I want to have a strong immune system, patience with my kids and the capacity to take care of what goes into behind running a business and a family when we are home all together. I am grateful for movement to assist in this transmutation process.
We are at a very important choice point as a species. How do we choose to respond to what is happening around us? I have the privilege of being able to choose to orient to the potentials and possibilities in being home with my family. Slowing down. Working on household projects. Preparing the garden. Nature time. Creating space for me. Being of service to those in need.
I invite you to get outside as much as you can. Move when you can. Drink water. Eat nourishing foods. Play. Laugh with your family. Vibrate love and gratitude back out into the world. When you strengthen your own self you then have the capacity to be of service to those who need it.
I know this is a curious time and we need as much support from one another as we can. If you are interested in online sessions to support your nervous system please reach out and we can connect.
Love to you all during this time. Know that you are in my thoughts.
