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 have been teaching Nia classes since July of 1997. To me, Nia is a playground. It is a place to seek more Joy, to experience the pleasure of movement in our bodies and to enjoy community as we dance our Joy together. For me, Nia is a way to express the day away and leave class feeling refreshed with a sense of possibility. Teaching is so much fun for me, I'd love you to join the party!

In August of 2011, I completed the Next Generation Trainer course and now expand my Playground hours to offer White Belt intensives, open to everyone that wants to know more about Nia and more about themselves. Whether for personal growth or licensed Nia teacher, this week long training is packed full of opportunities to explore The Body's Way through the lens of the Nia Technique.
My mantra is JOY. I love it, I live it, I dance with it, and I spread it whenever I can!!
My classes and intensives are concerned with sensing and choosing JOY....in the body!
Join me.
