Through Movement We Find Health

Natural Time(out) Time

Dance of Health (and Marcia Coakley’s Nia Technique teaching) are on hiatus following a major move, retirement, transformation, and a redirect to my other life-long love and previous vocation as Marcia Coakley Pottery (under development) along with some health challenges (non-covid related, thankfully).

More news coming soon.
I can be reached at <marciacoakleypottery@gmail.com> until a new website launch with a new dedicated address.

Thank you for your interest and support.
Be well, make good art, and do life creatively.

May joy find you every day so that you may share it with the world.

Functional, Awareness, and Sensation based personal/private fitness training, online and in person.

Awareness and new habits that integrate, strengthen, and stabilize the core (pelvis, chest, and head working together) with our breath. Skills to practice on your own between sessions, reinforcing:
•  proper alignment
•  the balance of effort and release,
•  movements for whole body efficiency and economy of effort

Designing and practicing conscious alignment with subtle control and better coordination increases your body’s capacity to perform all of your activities safely and powerfully. You will also develop the five keys to functional fitness: flexibility, agility, mobility, strength, and stability.

“It is such a treat to find a way to embrace and honor my feminine nature thanks to your Nia class. I love watching how much fun you have with it. And the music…! It makes all the difference. I look forward to the next time I get to frolic with you and the gals.”  – Christina F

“…my experience after only a few months of participation provides evidence that NIA is a (lifestyle) program that can make a difference in a person’s life. It may be small and subtle at first but because I have stayed with it, I have found that I started to think differently about my exercise ability, flexibility, and sense of accomplishment. I CAN get more fit, feel more confident about my ability to exercise in a variety of ways, and I actually enjoyed myself in the process. I look forward to my time spent experiencing the music, moving my whole body, and laughing at myself when I just cannot seem to get the pattern right on a particular day. ” – Maureen H

About

Dancing since she was young, Marcia Coakley loves guiding people to expand their sensation awareness, and mind/body agility. From her first Nia class she was hooked. This was what she was looking for…to move, to feel better, more fit, and more functional for her whole life. And, everyBODY can.

Move your body, for a gentle and safe challenge, or a dynamic, athletic workout. Increase strength and function for body and mind…give yourself the gift of lifelong FUNction, in your body’s way.

A college dance major, she also worked in clay, was a studio potter for more than 25 years, and an educator in many disciplines. Marcia is a certified Nia Brown Belt (3rd Level) Instructor, Nia 5 Stages, and Move I.T. instructor, Brain Gym/Educational Kinesiology movement trained, long time yoga practitioner, and thrilled to bring Nia to you. Like chocolate, the experience is not easy to describe. You must taste it. Step in with us, and taste the sensations of the Nine Movement Forms, the simple tools of the 52 Moves, and the Joy of Movement.
