| I read about Nia in a local newspaper article and was intrigued. I had experienced many years of illness and limited activity. Having begun the journey to wellness following major surgery, I was yearning to move and express my spirit. I wept with joy during my first wonderful Nia class. I later completed the white belt training because of my deep belief in what Nia has to offer: Joy of movement, health and healing, strength, balance, personal growth and a sense of community....the list, for me continues to grow! Nia is pure joy, and I love its creativity, expressiveness and adaptability. I feel my students and I are dancing together down a beautiful path to health and healing. |

I fell in love with Nia the first time I saw and participated in it in 2003. After retiring
from the medical field, I became a white belt teacher and hope to spend the rest of
my life teaching this happy movement experience. I have taught people of all ages
and abilities and enjoy showing them how movement can bring joy into their lives.

The beauty that Nia brings out in individual students inspires me to teach this
lovely form of movement. I see a hand bent with age offer a heart felt gesture; I see
an athletic expression of energetic movement - both movements are gifts. I've
been fascinated with encouraging health both professionally and personally. My
master's degree is in health promotion with a focus in cardio-respiratory fitness. I
work in public health. I am a certified fitness instructor through the American
College of Sports Medicine and am certified to teach (and currently also teach)
yoga and spinning. I love to dance and love the fun, delicious movement, and
transformation Nia brings to myself and those I teach. Come play!

I first discovered The Nia Technique back in the summer of 2006 with Trish. The
routine was Alpha-Omega and I remember it like it was yesterday. The music and
movements touched my core, my soul. After that, I was hooked. Thanks to the
guidance and support of Trish and Mary, I took the white belt training in January
2009 and I am now certified to teach. I want to share this wonderful experience
and expression with everyone.

I‘m an avid Qigong practitioner and at the time I learned that Qigong was being held at
the Kula Center so I took some classes. Well, I came in early one day and stumbled onto
this Nia class. It was so beautiful watching the people dancing and smiling. Their smiles
were intense and I was thinking, “What are they smiling about?” Week later, I came into
the same Nia class early; same thing, huge beautiful smiles on everyone’s faces, I was
like, “I got to take this class.” Few weeks later, I took the class and for some reason, I
had this big huge smile on my face!Two years later, I earned my Nia White Belt and
decided to become a Certified Instructor, Febuary 2009. I’ve been a Yoga practitioner for
16 years, Tai Chi/Qigong practitioner for 4 years, a lover of dance all my life. So, I enjoy
the fact that Nia has incorporated these healing techniques into this Art of Moving, Nia.

Nia is a transforming experience in my life. Through Nia, I’m continually renewed
in mind, body, and spirit. As a practicing social worker and psychotherapist, my
guiding philosophy has been to join with others in finding authentic connection
to themselves, in their relationships, and to the spiritual/healing forces in our
lives. Nia has provided a consistent way to stay centered and energized. I came
to Nia after 15 years of running and weight training. I wanted something more
holistic and less hard on my body. When I discovered this fascinating, unique
fitness and lifestyle experience, I was hooked. I never dreamed I would find
something that so efficiently and comprehensively increased my fitness and that
was absolutely fun. I’m more flexible, stronger, have better balance, and I’m in
better aerobic condition. I know how to move in “my body’s way” to avoid
problems and to heal my body. I’m more joyful, my childlike spirit has come out,
and I love sharing within the Nia community. Nia is one of the most accepting,
non-intimidating, playful ways to fitness and enjoyment of life in this body.

I discovered Nia in 2003 during my quest for an exercise program that
I would stick to for more than three months – six years later, I still love
every minute of it! As a scientist by day, I find that Nia helps balance
out my logical and practical side with this creative, expressive, and
therapeutic movement form that leaves me feeling energized and
centered. I completed my white belt in 2009 and now look forward to
sharing the joy of Nia with my students.
