Nia came to me through my dancing sister-in-law several years ago.  In Montana, at that time, it was hard to find a teacher anywhere nearby.  So, I danced to Global Unity once or twice a week.  When I was pregnant with my second child, in 2004, Kim Clausen started teaching in Billings!  I would go to class with my 18 mo old and end up dancing while holding him plus the baby on board!  Once I had two young ones, it was hard to get to class, so I went back to the video.  Whenever my sister-in-law came home to visit, she would hold classes for us in my livingroom!  Finally, in 2007, I was able to go to Helena to get my white belt!  I have since added my blue, brown and green belts.  I enjoy teaching at a variety of places around town to reach more people.  I am amazed each day as to how nia is continually changing my body, mind and spirit!
