My Nia Story
In 1997 a dear friend of mine told
me about this funky fitness studio that
teaches something called Nia. Needless
to say I had no idea what it was. But...
I was curious so I gave the place a call. The
place is called NiaSpace and is in Austin, Texas.
The description on the phone was confusing. What
a little like tai-chi yet dancing???
The evening after my first Nia class I called the owner/ instructor
at NiaSpace, Holly Curtis. I told her that this might sound strange after
only taking one class, but I wanted to get trained to teach Nia. Holly
totally understood my reaction and encouraged me to follow my instincts.
Well, that was May and in October I took my first level of traning. I am
so grateful for finding Nia. It has filled my life with joy and purpose.
When I am teaching a Nia class, I feel like I am playing. The child inside
of me is being set free. My body keeps wanting more because it is so much
fun and feels so good.
One of my biggest pleasures now is seeing my students' joyful reactions
as they discover Nia. I hope to share this joy with you in one of my
classes.
See you on the dance floor!
Love, Shoshana.
