Do you want to make a difference in the world?
To connect with beautiful souls and spread more peace and joy?
Roots and Wings is a deep, guided and uniquely bespoke experiential journey of self-discovery, to unearth who you are, your power and your gifts.
Reconnect to Self, Passion and Purpose with Joy, Freedom and Flow
Gift yourself this opportunity to resource and reset and gain a deeper, more grounded and magnetic presence through this conscious dance programme of embodied awareness
GAIN NEW FREEDOM
The cells in our bodies hold all our stories. When we truely open up to movement, these old stories and limiting beliefs will rise to the surface. By liberating your body, you release your blockages to liberate your mind.
ACCESS YOUR INTERNAL GPS
When we attune into our body signals and learn to listen within, we gain guidance from our inner wisdom. As we drop into aligned connection, we become a clear channel for insight.
IGNITE YOUR CREATIVITY
When we dance, our brain waves drop from busy beta to alpha state. At the threshold of alpha theta, we relax and become more receptive. Here we can enter into new states of meditation and creativity.
FIND YOUR VOICE
As we drop out of our busy mind chatter and journey deep within, we enter a more grounded presence. From here we gain an inner strength to discover a new confident voice, one that can express our boundaries with compassionate power.
A PERSONAL CLEANSE AND RESET
If you hold space for others it is easy to carry a feeling of responsibility for everyone else’s wellbeing and neglect your own. Moving and dancing will give you precious time to yourself to clean out, release and have an energetic cleanse.
EMBRACING AUTHENTICITY
Remember the optimism and innocence we had as children? Over time as we mature into adults we can develop an armouring that protects us but also becomes inpenetrable. Working with our body invites in a softer receptivity and new openness.
Does this resonate?
When now more than ever, the world needs our passion and our skills.
This programme gives you the Roots to find your voice; clear, authentic, unapologetic.
A solid foundation within you.
Does this sound like you?
You feel that there is more of you to be seen, that you have more gifts to realise, to share with the world. This programme gives you the Wings to actualise the dreams of your soul's calling.
This programme is for you if :
This programme is NOT for you if:

⚪ Give yourself permission to be joyful and playful
⚪ Honour your spirit
⚪ Birth your dreams and gifts into the world
In this program you receive a complete holistic toolbox for support.
I created the transformational Niio roadmap of seven sacred pillars, to guide you from the ground up (literally). Each module has been curated from my lifetime of conscious movement practices, somatics, martial arts, yoga, energetic practices and bodywork, to form a unique and comprehensive system.
This program is a mind, body, heart and soul offering for you to connect to your authentic truth.
Journey through the Seven Sacred Pillars of Connection
1 - GROUNDING
Awaken to Presence
Just like a tree with its deep roots into the earth, we have inner roots, a foundation and stability within.
When we drop out of our busy minds, deep into the solidity of our bodies, and the connecting frequency of the earth, we are fully present. From here healing and transformation can begin.
2 - BREATH
Embodied Wisdom
Imagine breathing new life into every layer of your being, tapping into its wealth of wisdom. Our breath illuminates intricate pathways within our bodies, each one giving insight into our emotional world. On this inner journey of exploration and self-discovery we uncover new insights and depths of awareness.
3 - STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY
Express Authenticity
Unprogram your mind. Before speech you have experience in the body, and in ‘experiencing’ through your visceral being you discover a deeper knowing. We are a living, breathing, moving being and when we fully embody our physical structure, we experience a true authentic presence.
4 - FLUIDITY
Release and Renewal
Imagine standing at the edge of a calm still lake. As you touch the water its circles ripple outwards from your hand, symbolizing the release of difficult emotions. As you connect into your fluid nature, you release the thoughts and emotions which no longer serve you, create space for renewal and invite in wonder.
5 - POWER
Align to Spirit
Discover the inner fire that fuels your passion and sense of purpose. You connect to the core of who you are, in your unapologetic truth, to be brave, wild, raw, sensual, vulnerable. To wake up your inner warrior and warrioress.
As the great sage Confuscious said:
‘he who conquers himself is the mightiest warrior’.
6 - COMPASSION
Heart-centred connection
Just like Indra’s web of connectivity in the Indian Vedas, we are all jewels in the matrix of life. Connecting through our hearts into the world, we illuminate ourselves and our relationships, to promote our sense of belonging and enhance our emotional well-being
7 - CONNECTION
Soulful Integration
Through somatic awareness you reconnect and align to all the layers of you. In this final module you become fully present, the energy of the breath of life. When you are embodied and connected within, you come from a deep place of confidence and truth. You cultivate an open receptivity where you can access insight, inspiration, joy and bliss.
Dancing is one of the most powerful ways to experience embodiment
to be fully present and connected
aligned in body, mind, heart, spirit, soul.
This aligned integration gives our thought and action purpose and clarity.
We connect to the bigger picture and to our place in the universe.
Testimonials
'What a great gift to the world'
'Allowed me to connect deeply with myself'
'It has enriched my life and myself professionally'
'I received so much healing'
'It has transformed my life on a daily basis'
'I feel I can see a way through the jungle'
PERSONAL INSIGHT
When we open up our bodies to movement, the memories and feelings that have been held within are able to release and rise to the surface. With mindfulness and in seated meditation we enter into our internal world. When we move and dance we have the extra dimension of outer expression for release and transformation.
NEW WAYS TO COMMUNICATE
Dance and other expressive arts give us the opportunity to express in a way that words and language do not. We may discover hidden sources of strength, resilience, wisdom and creativity that we had not accessed before. And at the same time this may reveal a new voice we have, that needs to be heard and come out to play!
A PERSONAL TOOLBOX
Through the Niio lens we look at different aspects of ourselves. We use different somatic, yogic and breathwork exercises as well as free dance for practical physical support, and we can follow up with words or other art forms. We find new ways to relate to the layers of our soma, and new tools for mental, emotional and even spiritual guidance
GROUP ACCOUNTABILITY
We meet twice a month to come together in community, to move and dance together. We also do a check-in, share any insights from the session, or from our progress in the modules and any artforms and writing pieces we have created in between the sessions. We move for an hour and the remaining 30 mins is a group coaching call.
MEET YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Helene Su
Hi! I am Helene, creator of Niio Dance for new integrated and inspired openings.
As a transformational dance facilitator it is my mission to help tens of thousands of conscious connectors, creatives and healers awaken to their purpose and know who they are truly meant to be; to align to spirit to access their creative flow, sell out their retreats, and for it to all feel expansive, destined and magical.
It upsets me to see so many visionary changemakers feeling disconnected, limited and questioning their self-worth. Learn how to use your breath, somatic intelligence and the joy of dance to feel your own energy again and be in flow.
Reclaim your grounded presence and find your authentic voice, to connect deeply with other conscious souls and call in your abundance!
Dance has been my best friend and medicine for my mind, body and soul over five decades!
It has helped me to gain clarity, resilience and confidence and this is why I have created this practice.
I have a duty to share this knowledge that we already have, to empower you to your greatest potential, to feel fulfilled, knowing that you are making a difference in the world. I so look forward to being on this journey with you, and helping you to open new doorways!

PLUS 5 Amazing Bonuses!
(Worth $$$$ but potential change can be priceless)
BONUS 1 - OPENING TO BREATH THROUGH DANCE
- A 60 MINS MOVEMENT MEDITATION TO MESMERISING MUSIC WITH DOWNLOADABLE MP3/WAV FILE
Experience Deep Relaxation, be Energised and Inspired - a Journey to Self through Breath
This mini workshop is a slow and gentle movement meditation that can take you to some deep places of reflection and peace, gradually expanding your body and your mind.
'When i started practicing Helene's video "Opening to Breath through Dance", I experienced right away such a deep, deep relaxation, emotionally, mentally and physically. My body was now filled with breath and with that I felt energized. The music and Heléne's voice reminds me to be conscious of my breath and movement and that alone, transforms my whole day into a "dancing day". If I could give a title to Heléne's dance work, I would call it " Dance Steps to Transformation".'
I originally created this for the Global Breathwork Leader's Digital Library, part of the International Center for Breathwork membership programme.
BONUS 2 - 'DISSOLVING INTO FLOW' - 3 Hour - LIVE WORKSHOP
Come with your challenge, your blindspot, your shadow, and let us cast it into the ocean and watch it dissolve…this is an extended guided deep moving meditation where we dance into our flow.

BONUS 3 - 'TAOIST HEALING SOUNDS JOURNEY' - 3 Hour - LIVE WORKSHOP

How much dance experience do I need?
If you enjoy movement, dance and music and would like to experience a deeper insight into your body mind, then curiosity and interest are the most important prerequisites. I might give you ideas, themes and visualisations, but there are no specific techniques.
Any previous dance training may influence your movement repertoire, but you may feel encouraged to, and in fact feel the ‘permission’ to explore movement in other ways. This could be very liberating.
With regards to personal ability and mobility, all movement however big, small, abstract or ‘understated’ is a dance, and dance does not demand to be of a certain size, or physical ability. You come as you are, and that is enough.
How much space and time do I need?
Whilst experiencing freedom in movement, we also have to be mindful of our surroundings and it is possible to move and dance in a very limited space . We can move and travel in many directions, not only across the floor! The actual videos take only a few hours a month, less than four in total - but each one has a lot of rich content, and you will want to revisit them, because each time you will receive new insights. Then there are things to reflect on in the workbook, questions that prompt, and you may wish to spend some time journaling or with other art forms.
Week 1 and 3 of each module have more videos. Weeks 2 and 4 have just a new dance journey. These weeks give you the space to absorb, catch up and reflect on the previous week. If you can also find other times in your week to put on music of your own choosing, and just dance freely without any other guidance or prompts, and also find time to simply sit and be in stillness or meditation, you will enter a reflective state to learn more about you.
And of course we meet live for 2 x 90 min classes a month. Replays will be sent out afterwards if you can't make it live, but it can be a real time of connection as well as accountability.
I’m not very good at art, do I have to share with the group?
Everything is always optional.
When we meet on zoom we can dance together and feel the support of a group on the same, albeit individual journeys, and also to meet with me for any questions you may have. There is never any pressure or expectation, you come as you are, and participate as much or as little as you like.
Is this course dance therapy? Can I take this course for self healing?
Whilst dance can be therapeutic, this course is not deemed ‘therapy’. Working with a Dance Movement Therapist is often one-on-one, looking at specific issues over a certain period time. You may have certain aspects in your life that you would like to give the time and space to reflect upon, and this course will give you that opportunity.
On the one hand each module has a distinct theme and flavour with some of the more guided aspects eg in the warm up or meditations giving you new postures and techniques. On the other, the emphasis is on empowering You to cultivate deep self-awareness, and make your own self discoveries.
Dedicated holistic ‘me’ time.
Also although we may uncover hidden memories or gain new insights into our ourselves from personal experiences and history, this is not a course to try and dig deep to unravel our past. This is a course to bring you into the Present, in the most enlivening and uplifting way possible, through our Soma - our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual selves - to empower us, to feel vital and alive, and to feel that Anything is possible, all through the joy and freedom of dance!
NB:
All the above are potential gains, dependant upon time and commitment invested, prior health conditions and personal constitution. Our dance is a metaphor for our lives, and how many patterns, cycles and unpredictable events may there be. Some of the modules may feel more difficult than others to work through in their themes and concepts, and it may be interesting to reflect a little further on why that might be for you. This is why it is good to repeat and revisit different videos, as you will always have a slightly different experience with every time, because we are also never exactly the same again in any moment, and this is why there is space within each module, to give you the chance to do just that, and really allow any deeper insights to arise. You may be challenged to think in new ways about yourself, where you are at, your life in general. Anything is possible!
Treat this, as with all the niio offerings as opportunities for little journeys into yourself. However I also mean that in a light and explorative way, we get far too serious in life as we become adults, and this course may give new insights and revelations that confirm just that! Also whilst dance is potentially healing, niio dance cannot be held responsible for any outcomes. For more info please see disclaimer.
