What is Alchemy?

Alchemy of Movement are a series of workshops with various themes incorporating seven energy practices to restore integrity and vitality.

Based on the Nia Technique and developed beyond the popular fitness technique of dancing to music, Alchemy is a lively and uncomplicated approach using movement to focus, ground and sharpen body-mind communication, simultaneously invigorating the spirit of individuals and groups.

Alchemy’s Seven Practices facilitate change from the inside out. An engaged body = an engaged mind = optimal internal environment for meeting today’s challenges.

The Alchemy Practices:

  • Increase energetic potential
  • Teach proactive, empowered personal and group communication
  • Uncover body language and wisdom as a preventative and diagnostic life skill
  • Stimulate thought and action to create mindshifts and break destructive patterns
  • Introduce participants to the Nia Technique for dynamic health and wellness
  • Create an authentic community environment

An Alchemy workshop offers music with simple movement, both solo and interactive, to create a space of self-discovery, open discussion and laughter.

No previous dance skill or interest required. Everyone from sports enthusiast to exercise phobic can apply Alchemy to his or her life.
