Trish:
I read about Nia in
a local newspaper article and was intrigued. I had experienced many years of illness and limited activity. Having begun the journey to wellness following major surgery, I was yearning to move and express my spirit. I wept with joy during my first wonderful Nia class. I later completed the white belt training because of my deep belief in what Nia has to offer: Joy of movement, health and healing, strength, balance, personal growth and a sense of community.... the list, for me continues to grow! Nia is pure joy, and I love its creativity, expressiveness and adaptability. I have been teaching Nia since 2003 and I am a certified Brown Belt. |

Gwen : I first discovered The Nia Technique in the summer of 2006 with Trish. The routine was Alpha-Omega and I remember it like it was yesterday. The music and movements touched my core, my soul. After that, I was hooked. Thanks to the guidance and support of Trish and Mary, I took the white belt training in January 2009 and I am now certified to teach. I want to share this wonderful experience and expression with everyone! |
Linda:Nia
is a transforming experience in my life. Through Nia, I’m continually renewed
in mind, body, and spirit. As a practicing social worker and psychotherapist, my
guiding philosophy has been to join with others in finding authentic connection
to themselves, in their relationships, and to the spiritual/healing forces in
our
lives. Nia has provided a consistent way to stay centered and energized. I came
to Nia after 15 years of running and weight training. I wanted something more
holistic and less hard on my body. When I discovered this fascinating, unique
fitness and lifestyle experience, I was hooked. I never dreamed I would find
something that so efficiently and comprehensively increased my fitness and that
was absolutely fun. I’m more flexible, stronger, have better balance, and I’m in
better aerobic condition. I know how to move in “my body’s way” to avoid
problems and to heal my body. I’m more joyful, my childlike spirit has come out,
and I love sharing within the Nia community. Nia is one of the most accepting,
non-intimidating, playful ways to fitness and enjoyment of life in this body.
