Carmen Loureiro Hadas - Studio Founder

"Before Nia, I practised yoga for years – from kundalini to hatha, iyengar and bikram yoga.  Exploring different yoga teachers whilst living in the San Francisco Bay Area for a few years, enriched my yoga body awareness.  

In 2007 I did my first Nia White Belt Intensive, with Black Belt Nia trainer Ann Christiansen and it was the blissful experience of remembering my inner Dance, inner  Music ... and 'groove'.  Then I went on to do the Green Belt Intensive the following year, in Hamburg, Germany, with Nia co-founder Carlos AyaRosas, as a gift to myself for my 40th birthday.  I continued my Nia explorations in 2009 and took the Blue Belt Intensive with Ann Christiansen again.  My first visit to Nia HQ in Portland, Oregon was for the Brown Belt Intensive in October 2010 - the very last brown belt training with Carlos AyaRosas before his retirement end 2010.  I return to Nia HQ in the States this December 2011 to dive into the Nia Black Belt.  I feel this is a wonderful way to close my chapter of Nia in Jozi.  On my return to South Africa I am 'semigrating' to Cape Town with my family - our desire of the last few years for this lifestyle change has now become a reality :) "  - Carmen
