Nia White Belt Training

Bringing the Sacred to Life is my purpose. I am dedicated to helping heal the body, mind and spirit....one body at a time.

"Dancing with Stephaney is like venturing into a sensory bath that is part tribal, part heady reflectionist, and part git-down hootchy kooch. She inspires a vivid meditation that rocks the mind, electrifies the body and tickles the soul."  - Willi Jones, Performer, New York, New York.

Stephaney Robinson-Abilon is a member of the Nia International Training Faculty as a Black Belt Somatic Educator, Nia White Belt Trainer, Nia Green Belt Trainer and Nia 5 Stages facilitator, she has been helping others transform and heal through movement for over 30 years.

 "There is a spontaneous healing that happens just by the mere fact that we move."  In Stephaney's Nia Trainings, workshops and classes you will learn to discover fitness via sensation, emotional balance, and spiritual fulfillment. Her trainings are the complete package.

  Stephaney invites you to experience your white or green belt under her experienced guidance. Since 1996 she has worked in depth with Debbie Rosas-Stewart and Carlos Aya-Rosas. Early spinal injuries created limited mobility and pain in her body. Using Nia as her movement medicine she found healing on many,many levels and now lives in a pain free body.She is the original founder of Spirit Moves in Charleston, Nia Body Journey series, and her new creation DreamAlice has her touring the Unites States sharing the 5 Keys to Wonderland.  Her love of theatre, writing and planetary healing weave themselves into her trainings for a well rounded week that is grounded as well as self-expressive. She has immersed herself in movement since 1986 within many modalities.. She is grateful for all her teachers including Gloria Karpinski, Emilie Conrad of Continuum, Susan Harper of Montage and several other dance, yoga and healing facilitators.

You are invited to use every Nia  movement to make the body feel better.  Discover ways to seek health within each motion, and to free your body from injury while stopping the mind from idulging in thoughts that cause unhappiness and stress. All healing can be initiated through the body; and then supported with images, feelings, and personal spirit energy. In your Nia White Belt you can learn to use the power of Joy, Relaxation and Personal Expression as a form of healing.  Walk away from your Nia class or  training with less mental stress and a better-conditioned body than when the training  began.

"My work with you has truly changed my world. I don't know that I would have had the courage to truly speak my truth so profoundly if you had not danced, with such encouragement and glee, into my life. you have brought me a sense of balance, of self-confidence, of utter joy and I thank the universe over and over for YOU! -Sarah Froeber - Author "My Many Selves"

"Stephaney's nia class is a staple in my life. Going to her class on a Sunday morning is like going to church and studying the temple of the body in ecstatic ways. There is a wisdom in her teaching that I have not found elsewhere in my journey with nia over the last eight years. There is joy, but there is much more. Participants have a chance to explore how the body relates to the inner being and it's capacity for growth and transcendence through physical exploration and movement. Stephaney offers a depth that is rare among dance teachers. She has ability to go beyond the external elements of nia and tap into those higher realms of spirit that only a teacher can do if he or she is living and practicing it themselves." -Leela Graber Charleston, SC
