Dynamic Ease

The Body Thrives on Dynamic Ease is the first of five principles of the The Body’s Way.  For those of you who do not know what The Body’s Way means, it means that we are humans are designed very intricately to move in particular way. Nia is based on The Body’s Way, however, Nia takes into consideration YOUR Body’s Way. Each of us have had difference experiences that our bodies have adapted and adjusted, thus making us each very unique.  Your Body’s Way is how you move uniquely, The Body’s Way is the ideal. Nia is a way to be able to move in The Body’s Way.  the ability to perform a movement with maximum efficiency and minimal effort.

Dynamic Ease is the ability to perform a movement with maximum efficiency and minimal effort.  We use Dynamic Ease in Nia to condition the body in order to be able to use our bodies efficiently throughout a Nia class and in daily life. It is a feeling of graceful power.  It is the feeling of total relaxation as if floating mixed with the tension strength and power within your body.

Use your awareness while you are completing a task today, imagine your whole body working together as an efficient machine.  Focus on systemic movement, with the intent to move gracefully, while harnessing your strength and power within your body.

  1. One of my favorites!!! Dynamic Ease…sounds like an oxymoron!!! How can something be dynamic and be at ease? Very simple in Nia and you’ve described it beautifully — “graceful power”. I love the image that ripples through my body, mind and heart when I hear those two words. Thank you!!!
