I have been teaching Nia and changing  bodies and changing lives for 9 years.        
I ventured into my first Nia class by accident and  had a big "ah ha" moment.  My    
body came alive with sensations of power, grace and euphoria. The hour                    
passed so fast -  my heart was pumping with joy and  I was glistening  with sweat       
and having so much fun -
like adult recess - the workout was an extra benefit . I         
flew to Texas and  certified in White Belt, then Blue and now  Brown Belt level.          
This practice fills all my needs for exercise,  strength, dance,  cardio,  stretch, play,       
self- healing and meditation.  I lost cellulite,  2 dress sizes,  lifted my  butt and toned  
my entire body.   I am in the best physical shape I have  ever been.
                                                                                                                                                           
  We use many genres of
music, drums and dance in diverse and invigorating              
classes  as we discover more about our marvelous bodies, minds  and  emotions.         
   I am dancing through life  sharing my passion for fun, sweat and spirituality           
with expressive dance. I am also Ballroom and Zumba  certified.  I  practiced  yoga      
 for 8  years, studied  marital arts and  helped my late husband in  training, racing      
and  breeding horses.   Nia  empowered me to start a teaching  career in my 50's -      
proof it is never too late to start dancing.   My mission is to  inspire everyone to find  
joy  through movement -
through movement we find health.

    We don't stop playing because we grow old -
       we grow old because be we stop playing.
