Nia White Belt Training – Focus: The Body’s Way

The White Belt is the foundation for learning and teaching Nia. Everything begins with Principle #1 – The Joy of Movement. The principles of this belt focus on the physical realm of the body, learning how to sustain and increase sensation for pleasure and self-healing. The Nia principles are explored through the lens of science, craft and art of the body and movement. Students are introduced to the nine movement forms of Nia: Jazz, Duncan, Modern, Aikido, Tai Chi, Tae Kown Do, The Alexander Technique, The Work of Mocshe Feldenkrais and Yoga. Nia’s proprietary system for music appreciation is introduced at the White Belt along with the 52 Moves of the Nia Technique.

Karin Farkishardy, Manager, Centre for the Arts, Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital (Toronto)

I’ve never been so challenged (physically, mentally and spiritually) and had so much fun doing it. I am so excited about sharing Nia and living life with this wonderfully positive philosophy and attitude – what an amazing week. White Belt Rocks!

Mary Jane Pfeifer (Calgary )

I ‘asked’ for a ‘dance’ I could take home with me, use at any time everywhere that fits my worldview. Nia came right to my doorstep. I responded by recognizing my inner “Yes!” seized the moment and got far more than I ever expected! I did not expect the sense of aliveness, peace and grace, now present in my body, mind and soul, after the White-belt training.
