    My White Belt Experience – by Giulia Ponticello

    What was your biggest takeaway from this training? 

    There have been so many takeaways, where do I start!  Being able to attend the unique experience of the White Belt ‘in person’ training was extraordinary in these times.  I gained a new awareness of my body and my body’s way in moving.  I was able to relax into awareness of my body and appreciated connecting to sensation gained through the repetition of movement katas (movement patterns).  I learned to trust my body, to listen and feel the movements, giving myself permission to stay longer in the movement to open to potential and possibility.

    STALKING WHAT STEALS YOUR JOY & HOW TO GET IT BACK

    Find out what brings you Joy and do it more often…

    Stalk what steals your Joy and give it less attention.

    Sounds simple enough. But the way our brains are wired… we tend to focus on the negative. Our “fight or flight” sympathetic nervous systems are being flooded daily by external and internal stressors, real and imagined. There’s so much going on in the world that is beyond our control and these are troubling times for our planet and many who are suffering and struggling.

    REFLECTIONS FROM A Nia WHITE BELT GRADUATE

    I was introduced to Nia less than two years ago. I have the pleasure of both practicing Nia as a student and also representing Nia as a client. My role is to manage Nia Australia’s social media and email marketing and assist in their overall marketing strategy.

    I knew that I wanted to attend the White Belt Training quite quickly into my journey with Nia, but I was also conscious not to rush into it.

    For me, it was important that the time was right.

    This simply meant that I was ready to immerse myself fully into the training so I could receive what I needed to receive.

    Today I want to take you on my journey.

    IS FEAR STOPPING YOU FROM TEACHING Nia?

    Nia White Belt Training is the pathway to becoming a Nia Teacher

    I know you! I know who you are.

    You’re the student in class who teaches in your mind. You already have a class behind you. And in your imagination, you are there teaching them.

    And you love to dance! “I could do this”, you think.

    Then that other little voice comes in. It plants a seed of doubt.

    MUSIC – Nia PRINCIPLE #3

    “If music be the food of love, play on.”    Willliam Shakespeare

    I can’t imagine life without music. 

    Music can make your heart sing or make your heart cry.  Music has the power to bring back such strong memories you feel like you are reliving the moment.  Music is primal, emotive, sensual – it can energise and excite or relax and soothe. 

    And above all … it can make you want to dance!!

    LOVE THE SKIN YOU ARE IN

    Love the skin you are in!

    It’s a simple statement filled with gratitude for the body that you have now. Yet as simple as it may seem, the embodiment of this statement is sometimes easier said then done.

    For as long as I can remember, I have been experiencing the ups and downs of the relationship I have with my body. On some days I feel confident and completely at ease with my body. While other days I look down at my body with displeasure and frustration, spending the day avoiding mirrors, for I know I will not like what I see.
