Student reviews
Four students wrote about Nia classes with Yulia. These are their own words about Nia classes with Yulia.
Kind attention instead of overcoming
I only recently started practising Nia, and the experience feels unusual. The main tool is kind attention towards yourself and towards the impulses for movement that come from within. I am used to the feeling of overcoming myself in strength training and yoga, while in Nia classes something quite the opposite happens.
A gentle morning dialogue with myself
The morning classes became a space for a gentle dialogue with myself. It was as if every morning someone important came to me and asked how I was and what I wanted for myself right now. This important meeting with myself became possible thanks to the gentle way you, Yulia, supported the direction and quality of my attention. Your warm and engaged presence changed the way I see my states, whatever they may be, and helped me become closer to myself.
After the first class
I had strong dizziness that made it hard to walk. On the very first Nia class, after these movements, it got better. The dizziness was almost unnoticeable, and the neurologist said that remission had started. She checked this at an examination and gave exercises that include rolling, lying in turn on the left side, the right side, the back, and so on. I wanted to move more and to pay attention to my body and its needs.
Questions
Are these reviews about therapy?
No. They are about Nia classes with Yulia at Goyoga. One-to-one therapy is a different meeting. Contact Goyoga to ask about that.
Does the class treat dizziness?
No. Anastasia wrote what happened for her after one class, including what a neurologist told her. That is her account. It is not a medical result the studio promises.
