Dance and Sound with Tor

26/08/2025

September is nearly upon us and that means that I am gearing up to begin my nia movement classes again.
The school teacher in me loves September. It holds so much promise. A chance to start afresh, after the lull of the summer holidays.
A chance to try something new - (remember the feeling of writing on the first page of an exercise book? It feels like that for me)
A chance to get back to routine.
So, if you are looking for a way to increase your MOBILITY, STABILITY AND STRENGTH, in a way that feels good for your body AND your mind then come and join me.
Classes begin on Monday 1st September @10.30am Tidenham War Memorial Hall, Tutshill.

Self-care is essential.
One Nia class = one powerful reset for your body *and* your spirit.
We may not be dancing in August — but your wellbeing still matters every day.

We gather together again from the first week of September.

Can't wait to welcome you all back and hopefully see some new faces too.

My nia classes might be out for summer but that doesn't mean it's all sun and sangria this month.

I'm busy working away behind the scenes, working on a new routine to bring to you, attending workshops and classes to develop my personal nia journey and my professional nia journey and making connections so that I can spread the nia love!

Spetember is the PERFECT time if:
You have been intending to come to class for a while or you want to pick up your nia moves again
You have heard of nia and are curious to know more
You are looking for a fun, accessible way to keep fit and feel GOOD about and in, your body.

I have a workshop for you on 6th September where I'll introduce you to the nia moves and workshop the new Pulse routine.

You won't want to miss it - it's going to be fun, creative and generally fabulous!

Bring a friend, or come on your own. We really are a very friendly bunch!

WORKSHOP DETAILS:
Saturday 6th Spetember
10.00 - 12.30 pm
St Arvans Village Hall

Booking Link in the comments.

I would love to see you there.

Nia isn’t just a workout.

It’s a *way back to yourself.*

Even though classes are on pause, your body still remembers how to move.

Try a few mindful minutes today. Just breathe, sway, and feel.

A lovely review from a very happy dancer!

"I have been dancing with Tor for nearly two years and it has made a massive impact on my life. Physically, cognitively and socially! I have become part of a caring Nia family, am fitter and more comfortable in my aging body 🥰and always leave the classes and retreats taller and joyful. Tor, thank you for introducing me to this wonderful world ❤️:"

It's our last 2 dance sessions before I take a little break for August.

Why not join us when we come back together in September?

💫 *Your health is an investment, not an expense.*

Every time you step onto the dance floor, you're choosing joy, presence, and power.
Nia isn't just movement — it's a return to yourself.

30/10/2024

Part of our nia practice involves getting down to the floor.
When we are on the ground we get to explore, to play and to condition our bodies in a new way.
Come and give it a go.
We practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays at various locations in and around Chepstow.

🌼 Nia for Mental Health & Well-being 🌼

Did you know that Nia is not just great for your body, but also for your mind? 🧠💛

Here’s how Nia supports mental health:
🌿 Reduces stress: Mindful movements combined with deep breathing help calm the nervous system.
😊 Boosts mood: Moving joyfully releases endorphins, which can help lift your spirits. 🌈 Promotes self-acceptance: Nia celebrates YOUR unique body and abilities, creating more confidence and self-love.
🤸 Increases mental clarity: The focus on body awareness helps you to clear your mind and improves your concentration.

When you dance Nia, you’re giving your mind a break from the stresses and strains of life, leaving you feeling more balanced and centered. 💖 Hurray!

Love Tor xx

🎶 The Power of Music in Nia 🎶

Music is at the heart of every Nia class! 🎧💃

We use a huge variety of rhythms and beats—from calming, meditative tunes to upbeat, energizing songs.
This diversity allows your body to move in different ways and lets you connect deeply with the music and the movement.
In Nia, music is more than just background noise. It’s a partnership that helps you express emotions, sets the mood, and helps you to experience the joy of movement in a whole new way.
Whether you're grooving or flowing, Nia tunes into the rhythm of your soul. 🎵✨

What type of music gets YOU moving?
Love Tor xx
