Elisa Risquez - Nia and Fitness Therapy

Do you know how many times I fall off my paddle board?
Many. A few days ago, as I came home from the beach, tired and hungry, a revelation hit me. It is not about doing it perfectly or even getting better at standing up on the board.
It's all about falling better and being more aware of my options regarding my body's safety.

It was so significant for me. This coming week all my classes will have the base of the body as the focus. Start from the base up, right? Let’s build safety, strength and joy. All Nia and somatic classes on Zoom, 10am GMT // 11am CET start time.
Drop-ins available so you can just give it a go!

Do you want to dance with me? I want to dance with you!

Some times my theatrical side wants to come out... and how! If you are ready to move, express, laugh, and relax, I am waiting for you on Thursday 29th October at 6pm in central Europe, 5pm in the UK and 10am Portland (OR) time.
This is my second free class so just head to comments for the link and see you Zoom!

Do you want to dance with me? I want to dance with you!

Thursday 22nd October, ease yourself into your day or wind down for the evening with Dragon. Let's explore the sensation of "ready" through natural time and the movement forms.
And it's free to join! Link in comments.

Hello there! This is the week of the summer solstice...

I don't know why I get so moved by it, every single year. But the summer solstice seems like a great date to shed something old and cold and take on something new and warm.

For me, this is the time to ask for renewed sap/blood so we can grow strong and vital. Even if the bark is gnarly or discoloured, the promise of life is always, always fulfilled from within.

With my Zen study buddy. He's not that good at answering my questions so that must mean my bones already have all the answers. Shall we find out together on the dancefloor?

Name it to tame it; feel it to heal it; sweat it to... not fret it?!
You are the alchemist, the sage, the dancer. And you are doing your best. Love your bones

Sacred June, Flaming June, birthday month June!
For all things healing, dancing, loving, and slightly sweaty, see you on the other side of the screen (for now).

This is how we roll this week; if you want to join, send me a message and you'll get class info and Zoom link!

Oh how I miss going for coffee after Nia class! My faithful assistant Mr Slim noticed me being a little sad this morning and offered to be my coffee companion... but it's not the same.

Still, thanks be given to the tools that allow us to have class and then still go for coffee together even if it's via a screen.

Here's to another week of movement and connection

Yo yo! Mr Slim and I have arrived to the studio of my living room!
If you want to get down with us, here's the program for the week; just send me a message and you'll get the Zoom link.

As we take security very seriously (have a look at your faces, we mean it), we will never publish the Zoom information publicly and will always monitor participants requesting to get in.
You are safe on your sacred dance floor!
See you Zoom x

The spirit of Isadora Duncan has taken over!
Let's be free-spirited and bring our sense of wonder to the dance floor. What could we make new today?
See you Zoom!
Oh yes, if you want to join my Zoom classes, please send me a message to receive the email with the link as the group is private and yet always ready to expand (just like a heart

Would you like to join my daily classes? You can do as many as you like, I just like to have every day covered :)

All classes start at 10.40am UK time and last 40 minutes.
If you are interested in joining, message me your email address and I'll add you to my Zoom mailing list!
You will also receive price information, I am very aware these are difficult times for some of us and I am interested in being of service. Maybe see you Zoom?
Have a great week ahead!

Blowing a kiss to my dancers after our Zoom Nia class.
When it was the time to step up and serve in the best way I know, I stepped up and plugged in.
Free from the stories I told myself about myself and technology, I am teaching daily classes via Zoom and promoting the free month trial PLUS 6 additional months at half price that NiaTV is offering.
My techie set up is very simple but it turns out all I needed was the strength of my heart and my desire to communicate and reach out.
Who knew?
