Nia White Belt Intensive

Split weekends: November 30, December 1, 2 and 3 – and the following weekend: December 7, 8 & 9

JoyMoves is excited to support a Nia White Belt Intensive over the course of two weekends. The “Intensive” will be led by visiting master guest Nia teacher Helen Terry (see Helen’s bio here).

What is it?

The Nia White Belt Intensive is the first step on the Nia training path of personal growth and professional development.

Everyone who has experienced the White Belt Intensive has come back to class with a deeper understanding of their body. They move with more confidence, comfort and ease. Why? It has to do with attention and awareness.

Nia classes are generally one hour long. Even if you take class every day, there is a limit to what the teacher can cover. The Nia White Belt is one-week long. When you give yourself the gift of studying your body in depth for a week, you are bound to look at yourself in a more complete and integrated way. You will learn the difference between how your body is designed to move and how you actually move it. You will focus on the foundation of Nia – the elements of martial arts, healing arts and dance arts.

Who’s it for?

Simply put, the Intensive is for those who want to go deeper into their Nia practice or for those who aspire to be a professional Nia teacher.

You don’t have to want to teach to take the training. In fact, students take and retake the training for a variety of reasons. Some want to improve their ability to move. Others are going through a personal transition in their lives and they want to get grounded in their bodies before moving ahead. Some take the training simply because they love Nia and they can’t get enough of it.
