Like a true Leo, Nia Trainer Allison Wright brings a fiery and fun spirit to every class she teaches! Allison has a degree in holistic psychology, and also studied music and neuroscience. She worked at Harvard's Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine, presented at Ohio State University's Talbot Hall Addiction Medicine Clinic, and spent three years as an arts coordinator for an independent school in Cambridge, MA.

As Allison explains, "Nia wasn't a decision; it was a calling." Those who have trained with her know her as a master storyteller, rockstar musician, and truly gifted teacher. Allison shows you how to hear music with your whole body. Her fun yet relaxed approach to the Nia training experience invites individuals to awaken through sensing; to become more self-aware in body, mind, emotions and spirit as they dance through life.

When she's not teaching classes and leading Nia intensives, you'll find her downtown at Nia Technique's International Headquarters, where she works as a content writer and the Livelihood Membership Coordinator. Allison likes to collect jasmine green teas, ties, pumas (shoes, not wild cats) and countless books on eastern philosophy and personal growth to keep the universe of her mind ever-expanding.
