I practice and teach Nia because it nourishes the body, the mind and the heart. For me, awareness, movement and well-being are connected. We are made to move, and when we move in ways that support pleasure and presence, we feel better. Cultivating attention through sensation in the present-moment is a powerful and skillful method of self-healing. Nia embodies these principles. It is a truly joyful and creative expression of mindfulness-in-motion.

As founder & Coordinator of the Centerpoint Network LLC, I teach classes and workshops in mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), Nia and the Nia 5 Stages. The focus of my work is to support individuals in developing their innate abilitiy to reduce stress and live in a more balanced and sustainable way. Nia is a wonderful practice to move toward sensations of increased pleasure, ease and self expression. I am so pleased to share this work in discovering the body’s way to balance.

I continue my own practice though Nia, meditation and yoga, and by spending time with my two dogs, who are true masters in the art of joyful activity.
