Free Streaming Nia, Restorative Yoga and Moving to Heal Classes via Zoom with Linda for the Week of April 4th New routine, Bailando!
Current Nia Routine: Bailando
This is a great, semi original Nia routine, to the beat of Latin music. Of course I have substituted in a few other pieces of music as I am want to do. All about the hips and shoulders. Come join us and find your inner Charrrrrro!
Moving to Heal Thursdays at 1:30 PM
Moving to Heal Nia is a slower, less intensive class with less standing and more done in the chair. Great for people with injuries or conditions that make it hard to participate in a classic Nia class. Also good for people getting back into exercise. For more info on Moving to Heal, see the info and videos on my web site or click here
Restorative Yoga

In this crazy season, treat yourself to an hour of peace, relaxation and restoration. Lovely passive practice aimed at quieting the nervous system, mind and body.
Find some cushions, large books, yoga blocks, blankets, whatever you can use instead of bolsters and blocks. We make it work. For more information on Restorative yoga, check out my site, niawithlinda.com. It is a lovely passive practice that gives the participant relaxation and calm. Who couldn’t use that right now.
So here is how it works. It will be easier for you if you download the Zoom client for meetings for a desktop or laptop, or the app for phones and tablets.

Then click on this link to bring to my website and the list of streaming classes
At my website, niawithlinda.com, go to the zoom classes tab. You will want to click on the link for the class and time you are trying to join. Otherwise you will be all alone!
If you have downloaded the client/app, the meeting will open automatically in that interface.
If you have not downloaded the app/client, it should open in a web browser.
You can join early and sit in the waiting room. No magazines but no doctors either.
I’ll leave the audio open till the class starts. If I leave the audio on, it interferes with my audio and we can’t have that! I’ll open it back up at the end. If you need to get my attention, you can raise your hand. It is an icon in the middle of the bottom of the screen.
If you need any techie help, call me 617-851-2738 or email me at contact@niawithlinda.com
Find a little space in your home and be prepared to move and have fun.
Feel free to share these invitations to classes with anyone who needs it.
Love to all and stay healthy,
