It was an interesting mix of my real family and my Nia family. Altogether, it worked so well that everybody left with a smile. I worked on a playlist that I thought my sister would like. She’d tried my Nia class a few years ago and thought the music was too “New-Agey.” I forced her to attend a second class and I pressed myself to learn the Routine Girls Night Out. It was the only routine on the approved list that had pop music that she would like. She never returned.
BUT… three or four years and four belts later, she came with my mom for Weiss Family Nia. So, the least I could do is entertain her ears with something she could hum tomorrow. She said she liked it very much. “I can’t imagine what the music would be if not that…,” she said. Well, the playlist is 1/3 Nia Music, 1/3 Pop Music and 1/3 Music from the work we did at the Nia Workshop at Kripalu. Here is the playlist with the artists.
