The Nia 5 Stages are an integrative movement practice based on the five stages of human development:

Embryonic

Creeping

Crawling

Standing

Walking

Each stage is a foundation for the next. Combined, all five stages help people to integrate physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. When practiced daily and in the correct sequence these stages facilitate optimal alignment and function. Practicing the Nia 5 Stages allows your body to naturally reclaim the physical mobility, flexibility, strength, agility or stability you need so that Your Body's Way aligns with The Body's Way. The continual practice of the Nia 5 Stages provides a way for the body to do what it does best, which is to take care of itself, to self-heal. When allowed to, the body will always move towards healing itself, seeking where it functions optimally. Movement is medicine for the body and the Nia 5 Stages provide us a wonderful path towards improved health and wellbeing.

We invite you to use this program as a way to gain a deep respect for the magic and wisdom of the body and to find out more about yourself. May you use this work to discover the natural ability that the body has to self-heal. May you allow The Body's Way to show you the path of least resistance, where living in pleasure, in joy and connected to life through sensation and comfort is what you naturally do, day after day!

Come learn and practice the 5 Stages experience the depth of this work that will leave you with a renewed sense of wholeness and health.
