“I highly recommend the Yoga for Runners class. I started running fairly late in life, at 47. I love running and I love racing. When I turned 49, as a challenge, I ran ten 1/2 marathons in 10 weeks. I was 50 when I ran my first marathon. In the following 18 months, I ran 5 marathons, including Boston and New York City (2008). For the last two years I constantly felt “off balance” (recurring sore right knee, recurring sore left Achilles). I started the Yoga for Runners class in September 2009. The Yoga for Runners class has improved my flexibility and range of motion (Achilles tendon) and has started to strengthen and restore my muscle balance. Yoga is much more of a workout than I ever anticipated. After the first class, I felt I had run a 1/2 marathon. I think that the class would be good for non-runners too and I look forward to the 2010 season, for both running and yoga.”

“Is there any way we could make that mini massage last longer at the end of class. Knowing that massage is coming at the end is what gets me through some of those warrior poses. LOL “

On Tuesday, August 26th, in support of Habitat for Humanity Halton, eleven members of “Team Nia” came together to help build three homes in Georgetown. It was a very moving experience as we worked along side some of the beautiful people who will reep the benefits of our hard day of labour.

On our crew we had four local Nia teachers. We will band together once again on Saturday, September 27th to do it all over again. Thanks to everyone who financially, emotionally and spiritually supported us on this venture. So far we have raised over $5000.00 for Habitat for Humanity
Here are some of the photos from this wonderful event.
