In our fast-paced and demanding times, we often lose touch with ourselves and our bodies. It is particularly important to me to encourage people to be aware of themselves, to move joyfully to music and to find joy in themselves through dancing.
 
Is dance and movement to music your element?
 
Let me introduce you to something very special: It’s called Nia.
 
Nia is pure joy in movement and a holistic fusion fitness concept.
Nia means Neuromuscular Integrative Action. All movements follow the feel-good principle. Nia combines elements from nine different types of movement - Jazz Dance, Modern Dance, Duncan Dance, Tai Chi, Taekwondo, Aikido, Yoga, Feldenkrais and Alexander Technique - and comprises 52 basic movements, the Nia ABC. With flowing, powerful and playful movements, Nia promotes the joy of movement, mindfulness and well-being.
 
Short, repetitive step sequences that arise from the music alternate with guided, free parts. As a Nia teacher, I lead the class and dance along.
You will be supported in adapting the training to your own fitness level and needs in a playful way, with plenty of creative freedom.

My first Nia class in 2009 felt like “coming home to my dance and my body”.  After this experience, I did some research on the internet and discovered that a workshop by Carlos Rosas from the USA, one of the two founders of Nia, was taking place in Hamburg.
Excited by this opportunity, I was determined to take part. Inspired and full of energy, I then decided to complete the first stage of the Nia training, which also took place in Hamburg a week later.

With my regular Nia courses in Munich, workshops and retreats, I offer a wide range of opportunities to come into full strength, train the body without pressure to perform and develop your own expressive potential.
