NIA BLACK BELT WITH CAROLINE KOHLES + WINALEE ZEEB

July 13 - 18, 2024


Heartdance Studio 
1806 E Michigan Ave Lansing, MI

The training will begin on July 13 at 9:00 AM and end on July 18 at 4:00 PM. Please contact Winalee Zeeb at (517) 719-2446 with any questions.



The Black Belt Training is about harmonizing wisdom by integrating and applying the cognitive knowledge and physical skills you have embodied thus far.

  • In this training, you will combine the principles of White, Blue and Brown Belts building an integrative web to create the 13 Black Belt Principles.
  • Black Belt puts you face to face with possibilities, potential and the unfolding of the now to transform what is into something new. You’ll discover that what you cannot see, the underneath, is the fuel for your change and transformation.
  • Black Belt serves as an algorithm for creating and transforming. Moments of “play” and inspiration will touch you and reveal the evolving and creative conscious mind.

Nia Faculty Trainer Winalee Zeeb

I saw a sign that read, “Body, Mind, Spirit Workout.” I had not seen the word ‘spirit’ used in any other courses offered. Immediately, my curiosity drew me to take the workshop. It was a Nia workshop, and I clearly recall watching Debbie and Carlos enter the room. Every cell of my being recognized their radiance. They took the stage and did something unheard of at that time in the fitness industry – they invited us to take off our shoes. Those first barefoot seconds of conscious movement had my wounded knees saying, “Ahhhhhhh” as they experienced healing through movement. Words cannot express the infinite gifts my heart receives from the privilege of sharing the Nia Belts. I travel internationally teaching Nia, and I am passionately in love with what I am privileged to share. I am now a 2nd degree Black Belt.
