I was told I'd love Nia about 18 years ago by a dear friend, but it took me almost 3 months to get to a class because it was held in a gym. I am an out of doors type, and like to get my exercise out of doors- hiking, biking or kayaking- or dancing to live music. Well, I finally made it to the gym all those years ago, and I have been doing Nia regularly, at the gym and anywhere else Nia may be, ever since. I love Nia! I became certified to teach mainly becuase I wanted to be able to do Nia wherever I go- even if there isn't a class.

Nia choreography is sourced from freedance, so it moves very well with the chosen music-- there is a science, a craft, a technique, and art to the movement that makes my body, mind and spirit simply hummm! Nia makes me feel superb, and I really like that it is accessible no matter what kind of day I am having- I can adjust the movement to fit my mood or physical need that day. If I am feeling boisterous, I can go all out. If I am feeling shy and internal, I can keep the movement close to me. Classes that I attend have such an eclectic mix of people and ages in them, and the movement can be modified to be right for everyone!

Nia is such a gift in my life, and I hope to share it with you soon.
