When you do this, you will begin to Dance Through Life as if it were the only possible way of living."

Green Belt Certified Blue Belt Nia instructor 082 687 9839 I still vividly remember my first Nia class - it was an experience of “coming home” to my self. The movement felt good-for-my-body and pleasurable for my soul. I was able to release stress and negative energy to allow space for vitality and joy. That evening I went home to my family sweaty, glowing and enthusiastic to explore Nia further. Nowadays I also appreciate the outlet Nia gives me for creativity and self-expression and the sense of community that emerges over time amongst class participants. I do Nia for the stress release, fitness, moving meditation, body sculpting, self-healing and last but not least for the sheer fun of it!

Dancing Through Life


Nia is a powerful mind-body-spirit movement practice. It's done barefoot to diverse music, and it draws from healing arts [yoga, the Alexander technique and Feldenkrais], dance arts [jazz, modern and Duncan] and martial arts [tai chi, tae kwondo and aikido]. Nia is a fun way to get fit, strong & flexible, to lose weight, combat stress & improve wellbeing. It is for any body size, age, fitness level & dancing ability. No experience necessary! No “co-ord” necessary! You will leave sweating, smiling and wanting to come back for more!!
