By the time I encountered Nia in June 2003, I had already embarked on a
period of self-growth and transformation. Having lost a significant amount of
weight, I was more curious about moving my body and I immediately found a
connection with the healing qualities of Nia. As I continued to take regular
classes, I luxuriated in the feeling of being in my body and became stronger and
more graceful. Losing additional weight was really just a bonus as my
relationship with Nia deepened. In June 2006 I obtained my White Belt and became
certified to teach. I have found that Nia has been a remarkable vehicle for me
to reclaim a youthful quality of body movement and find that each time I
practice I enjoy multiple physical and mental revelations. Nia has been
instrumental in guiding me to resist falling into negative body-image
assessment. I look forward to sharing with others my joy for Nia, inviting them
to enjoy moving their own bodies. I assure you, you will view your body
differently after a Nia Class. And by differently I mean with more love and
appreciation for all your body does for you! Its your body-CHERISH IT!
