Nia Blue Mountain, Retreat in Costa RicaApril 19 - 16 2008 AND July 12 - 19, 2008 Download full details of the retreat. Join international Nia teacher and trainer, Helen Terry, and her husband, Joe Terry, for a fabulous weeks retreat at the Blue Mountain Retreat, Costa Rica. Enjoy daily Nia classes (the dynamic, total body workout)and Nia workshop experiences of Dancing Thru Life, Living Meditation and Life as Art with plenty of "down time" to enjoy R&R in astonishing beauty. There are some terrific "eco tours" like white water rafting, volcano exploring, canopy adventures and more. This is a great way to connect with fellow Nia fans with partners who are perhaps more on the sideline. Singles welcome too :-) Nia stimulates the precision of your mind, the power of your body, and the uniqueness of your spirit, leaving you feeling totally alive ready for eco tours and/or R&R. Helen is also available for additional private sessions by appointment. Costa Rica contains an astonishing diversity and abundance of tropical flora and fauna, a land filled with white-water rivers, waterfalls, tropical rain forests, active volcanoes, mountain cloud forests, exotic wildlife and birds. Deep in the mountains, in the northern node of the Andes, at 4200 ft altitude, this ecological resort spreads on 140 acres and borders the vast Chirripo National Park , enjoy nature, privacy, comfort and delicious food. Easy access from the USA and Europe. Prices for your stay at the center begin at $890, depending on accommodations. All Nia classes and workshops are included in the price and we encourage you to enjoy as many as possible during your stay. There are also yoga, drumming, dancing and meditation classes/workshops. "Eco tours" range from $30 - $70. "Nia was by far my favorite class at the resort." Melissa Scott, Healing Retreats & Spas magazine. Nature is at its purest and healthiest state, unspoiled, undisturbed. Crystal clear waters, natural swimming pools, hiking trails, waterfalls, infinite variety of birds and butterflies, highest quality of Chi (or Prana), extraordinary views of this tropical Taoist landscape - No doubt, Blue Mountain is in the Garden of Timelessness , a place simply to be, allowing life to unfold in beauty. The property is blessed with 2 wonderful waterfalls and the way to get to them is a pure delight. An ecological footpath meanders through the majestic jungle and it takes 15 minutes walk at a leisurely pace to reach them, each step bringing awesome visions of the vibrant life in this pristine nature – The first waterfall is drizzling with negative ions. It is a place for silence and meditation. Under the second one, one can give oneself a powerful and rejuvenating massage. Many visitors get addicted to an everyday morning shower in this unique environment. Another 30 minute walk along a different footpath overlooking the mountain river leads to several bathing spots. The Talari River originates in the highest lake of the Chirripo Mountain and flows down to our property virgin of any pollution. Each bathing spot is totally secluded and private and each has its own character. Experiencing the contrast between diving in the chilly water and basking in the sun on the huge hot stones emerging from the riverbed is a tremendously invigorating and exhilarating experience. This is truly being in nature, enjoying natural Spa! Rates (per person) Included in the rates are accomodations, three meals daily, one roundtrip airport transfer for the group, daily Nia classes and use of the Temple of learning and practice . Nature lover tent: $1100 (Double) $1400 (Single) Wooden casita: $1300 (Double) $1550 (Single) Deluxe bungalow: $1450 (Double) $2000 (Single)
Routine BootCamps (continuing education for Nia Belts) description Accelerate the learning process of learning a routine. Session includes create space, take class, Freedance stages 1 -6, Bars, Record Choreography over the bars, Base, Core, Upper Extremities, share what you sense. The intent is to accelerate being ready to teach the routine. I'm unable to guarantee everybody will be able to go out and teach the next day (although 5 belts have done this so far!)- depends on individual experience, talents, ability and attitude. I'm confident that everyone's learning of the routine will be accelerated through the group process AND there is certainly the POTENTIAL to be able to get out there and teach the routine by the end of the day. I doubt we will learn and know EVERY move of the routine by the end of the day - however the intent is to work with the routine as best as possible and be ready to teach.
comments from boot camp experience have included:
"I had no idea how much fun learning a routine could be!"
"I am so relieved to now have a clear map on how to learn my routines"
"oh MY! good bye procrastination and HOURS of watching the video - I can do this!"
"this was exactly what I needed to take the next step towards teaching"
"I now have the confidence to teach my first routine"
