The Nia White Belt Training is the first level of a five-belt training series that presents a body-centered approach to health, wellness and fitness. If you have a desire to share Nia in a professional capacity, the White Belt Training is your entryway into teaching. Those who choose to pursue the path of personal enrichment use this training as a starting point for becoming a master student.
Over the course of one week, you will comprehensively explore physical sensation through five core-competency areas of study including movement, music, anatomy, science and philosophy. This joyful journey into the self is instrumental in helping you develop body knowing by learning to listen, interpret and consciously respond to the information your body communicates to you via sensation. Enroll in an upcoming training today, and positively shape the way you feel, look, think and live.
Upon graduation, you are eligible to become a livelihood member. As a livelihood member, you obtain a teaching license (whether you decide to use it or not) and have exclusive access to an in-depth continuing education program, an online forum, and special benefits and privileges. You may enroll in the Green Belt Training - which is dedicated to the craft of teaching - at any time after completing your White Belt Training. You may also enroll in the next level of training, Blue Belt Training.

I qualified as a Yoga Instructor and started practicing and teaching Reiki Hands-on Healing in 2000; and then moved on to become a Kahuna Level 6 Massage Therapist over the next 10 years. I choose to live by the principals of Kahuna Massage work, which is to live in Aloha ( The joyful sharing of life energy in the present). In 2003, I was drawn to Nia with the desire to heal my knees and I became an Nia Instructor in 2003. I opened up a dedicated Nia and Yoga studio, called Studio Kairos (

I choose to live by the principals of Kahuna Massage work, which is to live in Aloha ( The joyful sharing of life energy in the present). In 2003, I was drawn to Nia with the desire to heal my knees and I became an Nia Instructor in 2003. I opened up a dedicated Nia and Yoga studio, called Studio Kairos (which means “Timelessness” or “Natural Time”, which is the 2nd principal of the Nia White Belt training). As a certified Black Belt Nia Instructor and Next Generation White Belt Trainer, Studio Kairos has hosted many Master Trainings including White, Blue and Green Belts . Studio Kairos is the epicentre in Johannesburg for Nia Technique and home for a long-standing community of practitioners who are living examples of the Nia philosophy: "Through Movement we find Health".
Join my Nia classes and enjoy connecting to:
Mind/ Body awareness
Stillness
Music and Dance.
I thrive on discovering more creativity, as others emerge with theirs, through Dance and Movement practice. Come and enjoy letting go of your inhibitions. Give yourself a creative “charge” of inspiration as you find different ways of moving in a fun class!
Join my White Belt Training and journey with me living the following words: "Through awareness, I lead myself and others, to find the best way to live in Joy".
