Nia Body + Life Trainings

Combining techniques and knowledge from dance, martial arts, mindfulness, neuroscience and healing, Nia reminds us that learning, moving, self-healing and becoming more embodied can be infused with Joy. More than just a workout, Nia is a holistic movement practice addressing each aspect of your life – body, mind and soul.

The first step onto the Nia training path, Nia Art of Sensation takes you on a journey of self-discovery through movement mindfulness connection and joy. Come, just as you are and immerse yourself in the nourishing company of others, a sacred circle of freedom, healing, and growth.

The training can be completed either as an interactive Online Course over 16 weeks OR as a 6-day In-person Immersion (plus 18 weeks access to OnDemand content).  In Art of Sensation (the new White Belt), you’ll learn and embody –

  • Nia’s mindful practices, including “5Stages”
  • 13 Nia White Belt principles beginning with Joy of Movement
  • Nia’s 52 Moves
  • Body Literacy – listening to your body and inner wisdom to make empowered choices for a healthier body and meaningful life.

The online training portal includes on-demand Nia classes, meditations, guided FreeDance, readings, “Learn” book, and optional group mentoring calls.

Each training explores five core areas of study to enhance your body + life:

  • Movement Creativity – study of moving, health + potential
  • Sensory Anatomy – study of body parts + systems
  • Sensation Science – study of body awareness, health + vitality
  • Music + Sound Resonance – study of sound, health + expression
  • The Body’s Way Philosophy – study of the body’s inherent wisdom
