Nia Body + Life Education

* Being a Nia teacher is like being a curator of the greatest art exhibition ever! If Nia is art, then movement is the brush strokes and I am the paint. I feel so privileged to be able to call myself a Nia Trainer, while every day I learn more about the importance and impact of Nia as an eager student. I am in awe of the artists I work alongside with teaching Nia, and believe that the joy it brings is a mural full of colour and life! Nia allows me to incorporate all my life’s history and celebrate the tapestry of who I am and share with others wholeheartedly. I thrive on discovering creativity and healing, as others emerge with theirs, through Dance and Movement. Nia gives us the opportunity to create and curate a life of stillness, purpose and reach our potential. When more people move their bodies, their purpose will be clear, which will help them build a more meaningful future as architects of their life. Being a Teacher Trainer since 2013, I have learnt that every class, training or workshop is as magical as the first- a blank canvas of endless potential and joy.
