Extravaganza with Lyn Koutcher & Ra'Shawn
Jones-Brown
Let's face it,
working out can be healthy, rewarding and
beneficial. Working out can be lots of things,
but it's never been known to be an exhilarating
experience…UNTIL NOW! This weekend
we are bringing the body, mind, emotions
and spirit to optimum health through music,
movement and self-expression using Nia Dance
with Lyn Koutcher and Zumba® with Ra’Shawn
Jones-Brown.
The Zumba® program fuses hypnotic Latin
rhythms and easy-to-follow moves to create
a one-of-a-kind fitness program that will
blow you away. Our goal is simple: we want
you to want to work out, to love working out
and to get hooked. Zumba® fanatics achieve
long-term benefits while experiencing an absolute
blast in one exciting hour of calorie-burning,
body-energizing, awe-inspiring movement meant
to engage and captivate for life! The routines
feature interval training sessions where fast
and slow rhythms and resistance training are
combined to tone and sculpt your body while
burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and international
zest into the mix and you've got a Zumba®
class! No class is ever the same. Ra’Shawn
is gifted in her fun method of instructing
and picking the right music for the party
atmosphere in the class.
Nia is a path to condition, heal and express
your self through movement and sensation.
A dynamic blend of dance arts, martial arts
and healing arts, Nia revolutionized the face
of fitness in 1983, and has since changed
millions of lives and bodies across the globe.
Balancing technical precision with free-form
expression, Lyn designs her class for any
body and gives clear, multi-leveled direction.
Nia is ageless and limitless, transformational
and effective for every person everywhere,
from athletes, dancers and fitness instructors,
to children, special needs groups and the
elderly. With the philosophy, Through Movement
We Find Health, Nia addresses the whole person
through music and movement guided by the sensation
of pleasure.
Blending these two forms of dance fitness
together is the perfect marriage! You will
learn to foster awareness of your life through
physical sensation, allowing the Voice of
The Body to direct your actions and choices,
while delivering cardiovascular and whole-body
conditioning. Best of all you will gain strength,
work up a sweat and end up feeling exhilarated!
Love your body – Love your life!
