Charlotte is a Black Belt Nia Instructor & Trainer.  She has been teaching group fitness classes for 28 years. Also certified as a Group Exercise Leader (GEL) through the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, she began her Nia journey in a class led by Joanie Brooks in 1997 at the Concord Athletic Club in San Antonio. She became a White Belt Nia Instructor in February of 1998, with Trainer Holly Curtis and is an AFAA Certified Group Exercise Instructor.  

In November 2010 Charlotte opened The DragonFly Studio, a small studio behind her home.  With heart-felt Joy, she is teaching One-on-One Nia Sessions, Nia 5 Stages of Healing and Classic Nia at her studio.  In addition she teaches at Gold's Gym in San Antonio, at Two Hearts Yoga and leads private classes at Diva, a non-profit for breast cancer survivors. 

In September of 2011, after one year of extensive study and passing her Practicum, Charlotte became a Nia Trainer.  Her White Belt Intensives are available on this site for registration.

The mind-body-spirit approach of Nia has changed Charlotte's life.  Her life's journey is to become whole, one conscious moment at a time.   As a fitness professional, Charlotte has increased her flexibility, strength, creative expression and body awareness through her Nia practice.  She joyfully brings this awareness to each of her classes and client sessions.  Her hope is that each of her students will learn to deeply love their body in their journey to become Sensation Scientists.
