Health & Safety
Upon arrival you will be greeted by Alison and asked to sign in. Signing in prior to class is a health and safety requirement and is necessary prior to every Nia class.
For student safety and to allow for ample space per person, the Saturday morning class in Studio 1 is limited to 10 students (can increase to 12 if two people are willing to be up the front with Alison!)
To increase ventilation, windows will be open and the fans will be on. 'The Studio' owners take great pride in the cleanliness and presentation of their studios. It is a delight as a hirer to have confidence in the fact that floors are regularly cleaned and that we move within a hygienic space. As a common courtesy to fellow students, please practise good personal hygiene and do not come to class if you are unwell. Hand sanitiser will be available.
It is a condition of the Nia Technique Inc. Licensing Agreement that all Certified Nia teachers hold a valid First Aid certificate. Alison Whitton holds a current First Aid qualification that expires in July 2023.
To support healthy movement choices in class Alison will draw upon many practical techniques such as verbalising and demonstrating varying levels of intensity (1, 2, 3) and building movement sequences from the base up. The suggestion is for all who are new to Nia, those supporting an injury or a health condition, those who are unfit or the older Nia student, to move at intensity level 1; least intense / movement closest to the core of the body / slower repetitions. These choices will best support your body in self-healing and integration of new-to-you movement sequences. Choose to increase speed, range of motion and intensity levels as you become more familiar with Nia and with Your Body's Way.
