Nia in the Garden - Oct. 8

“The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.” ― Barack Obama

We are overjoyed to invite you back as the Houston Nia Collective returns for a collaboration with the Houston Botanic Garden. Taking inspiration from the glorious woodlands of the Garden, we will explore what it means to be Resilient!

Featuring the Nia routine Resilience, and using imagery of trees rooted to the earth, Houston-based teachers will lead an immersive community dance event meant to connect you to nature and sensation. The music and movement of Resilience invite you to take inspiration from the botanic garden around you to enhance your physical experience. Trees root to the earth, their trunks bend with the wind and their leaves dance in the breeze. We will use our feet to create stability, we will squeeze and release from the core, and our arms and fingers will express our spirit.

Nia in the Garden is a 2-hour experience in the air-conditioned Global Collection Garden event tent and will include:

• 60-minute guided movement experience using the form and freedom of easy-to-follow dance and simplified martial arts to stimulate healing and conditioning

• silent walking meditation to awaken senses and appreciation for nature

• refreshing closing elixir and nourishing snack to refresh and rejuvenate the body

• parting gift from your Nia hosts to express appreciation
