I love the changes of seasons and what fall brings! It’s the opportunity to slow down, reconnect and to get back to a rhythm after a busy summer.
September gives us the opportunity to find movement again as we often have more time and less going on. Plus movement helps to connect back to ourselves.
Falling for movement is our theme at Najla’s Dance and September is a great time to start.
Whether you’re looking for the creativity of belly dance, the strength and energy of Barre Fitness, the mindful movement of Pilates or Yoga, or a combination of classes, there’s a place for you.
No experience is needed in any of our classes as we want everyone to have an opportunity to move in their body. You do not need to have rhythm, be flexible, strong or not know how to dance!
Movement is not just about exercise or getting stronger its an opportuntiy to connect, breath, giving ourself space, to be surrounded by others, feeling good. I hope you join me to maybe experiance something new or come back to movement if it has been awhile and fall in love with yourself and movement.
I invite you to come:

Dance
Stretch
