I enjoy moving, and I appreciate how Nia has given me emotional and physical resilience. – Janet Hollander

The Nia Art of Sensation Training

Next Art of Sensation, or “White Belt” with Janet Hollander begins May 16. It combines the opportunity to meet and study in person, with a relaxed schedule of just 2 sessions each day, with easy hours. We meet one day a week over 2 months to cover the total of 16 sessions.

No added costs of lodging or travel. The meeting space is the conveniently-located Eugene Carden Club on High Street in Eugene.

The Art of Sensation Retreat Nia Body and Life Training  ( AKA Nia White Belt)

Sense mastery. Imagine going mindfully and joyfully through  your life. Delight in your unique style of becoming an Elder. Nia is a design system for sustainability in the body that offers a one-of-a-kind training program providing comprehensive body-mind-emotion-spirit practices for self-awareness and empowerment. This training is for your own development and can also be the first step toward teaching Nia.

What you get:  includes study, practice, exploration, lecture,  and experience within a holistic science  approach to personal transformation. Expect to move, but at your own level of energy.

Why is it called a “retreat”? For the session, you leave the distractions of your everyday life and responsibilities behind, and focus on useful principles and practices for self-care, learning, growth, and fostering curiosity – just as you would at a retreat. In this online version, you have the rest of the week in your regular life to apply what you’ve explored – to test in out in the real world.    No travel or lodging expenses, no arranging for others to take care of your responsibilities, and yet, a dedicated time to attend to yourself.

More details on the content and cost of the Art of Sensation, with special emphasis on the latter 3rd of our lives. How will YOU become an “Elder with a capital E”?

Janet’s story : In  my career as a gerontologist, offering recreation and exercise for older adults, I never imagined that my Nia hobby would someday blend with my professional training. And now, I am certain that Nia has not only given me a fitness and lifestyle practice I can do for the rest of my life, but that many elements of Nia philosophy and implementation offer exactly what research is telling us is the path to healthy longevity. Nia provides myriad tools for resilience and sustainability for the body, the mind and the spirit. It addresses the many aspects of wellness, not only physical, but mental, emotional, social, environmental, spiritual, and vocational.

The training suits ANY level of energy. You get to apply the ideas to your life however you are now. Become the Elder you want to be.
