Nia Training
I had the great fortune to take all my belts with Debbie and Carlos Rosas in Portland. I have been teaching Nia since 2007 as a licensed Brown Belt. I find true expression of spirit in the joy of movement and love witnessing the visible transformation in my students.
Nia tones your mind and tunes your body. Each workout brings mindfulness to your dance movement experience leaving you energized, mentally clear, and emotionally balanced.
Nia cardio-dance workouts combine 52 simple moves with dance arts, martial arts, and healing arts to get you fit in 60 minutes – body, mind, emotion, and spirit.
Nia is non-impact and adaptable to individual needs and abilities and taught by licensed Nia teachers.
Transforming Lives, One Movement at a Time
The Nia Experience, in Their Own Words
My acute osteoarthritis has long been a problem for my degenerating cervical discs and lumbar discs with scoliosis.
At the age of 77 I am practicing Nia 3 times a week and feel less pain than I have felt in many years. For me Nia is a joyful dance practice which provides great exercise for my entire body, it helps with my balance and is very uplifting for my spirit/emotional life as well.
A big Thank you to my Nia teacher
I feel to mention how touched I am by the masterful way you teach. You have a lovely blend of power, love, intelligence, grace, joy and the innate knowing of how to transmit the magic of Nia to your students. I really understand the richness of the Brown Belt level of Nia from your teaching, yet you bring your own maturity of spiritual practice and grounded-ness to what you do. What a joy to see a master in action, without ego or drama.
Looking forward to enjoying the dance with you again.
