Nia Mindful Movement with Mandy

Nia is a transformational movement practice anchored in body-centred awareness. It blends the latest mind body science with ancient wisdom and draws on the chemistry of nine movement forms: Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, Aikido, Jazz, Modern Dance, Duncan Dance, Yoga, the Alexander Technique and the work of Moshe Feldenkrais®.

What to expect in a Nia class: The teacher guides you through the moves with no strict focus on technique other than to let your body feel the music and move in a way that feels right for you. Nia classes completely allow you to move at your own pace. No-one is pushing you to work harder, improve performance or force that stretch further. The movements are simple and repetitive on purpose, designed to relax and condition the body and bring up feelings of inner connection and joy.

Mandy has been practicing Nia for 8 years and done the White, Green and Blue Belt teacher trainings and graduated from the "Moving to Heal" teacher training lead by Debbie Rosas. She’s an accredited Mindfulness, Meditation teacher and is passionate about sharing the joy of Nia.
