Through Nia, I have come to know beyond all doubt that our bodies were designed for movement, & that movement is meant to move us! If we let ourselves go back to a time when there was no judgement, self-criticism or self-consciousness, then we remember: we all know how to dance. And every dance is unique, just as every body is unique.
Arouse your senses, inner athlete, warrior and dancer ...
I have been dancing all my life.
All through my life, I dance. You may as well ask me to give up breathing.
I believe we all have the capacity & the desire to dance, to move our bodies, to interpret rhythm, to be drawn to the most basic of primal sounds, the heartbeat. When I teach Nia, I share the gift of mindful, spirited, healing movement and I know I am fulfilling my life's purpose.
... joyful dancing, healthy movement, personal empowerment ...
I have been asked, what do you love the most about running your own studio? Every time I welcome somebody new into the studio, I witness a small transformation; it’s as if they’ve stepped into an unexpected oasis. Even the “regulars” regularly share their delight and appreciation for this gem of a space that provides both relaxation & nourishment - for the body, mind and soul!
