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.

This training is held in a beautiful room with a labyrinth on the floor and another out in the back yard of this historical church facility. The room is air conditioned for any hot summer weather we have and there is a full kitchen for us to use for lunches. We are minutes away from restaurants. There is a wonderful B & B 10 minutes away by car - or I am able to offer you a ride.

The Ottawa community is welcoming and growing so various members come to audit sessions and join in the fun learning at daily public classes. We always make sure we have one evening in the heart of beautiful downtown Ottawa to enjoy the outdoor patio of one of its famous ByWard Market restaurants. http://www.byward-market.com/
There is also the possibility of driving to Ottawa with me from Toronto for this training.
Come explore yourself in a truly Canadian setting!
