Nia Education: Personal Growth and Professional Development Program

"The results of a Nia Intensive training, for anyone, are personal and professional growth, self-empowerment as well as being a transformative, inspiring and deeply fulfilling learning experience."

Nia is everything from a joyful class experience to a lifestyle and personal/professional study. The true depth of Nia lies in a richly layered body mind education that blends Eastern and Western thought and draws upon the wisdom of three main arts: Martial Arts, Dance Arts and Healing Arts.   

We invite you to join the team of over 2,000 certified Nia Teachers sharing the joy of Nia in 37 countries worldwide, or come for an incredible personal growth experience that lasts a lifetime. Fusion fitness pioneers Debbie Rosas and Carlos Rosas have developed the most comprehensive body-mind-spirit dance based fitness training in the industry. 

Whether you are desiring to go deeper in your practice or are an aspiring Professional who would like to teach a body-mind-spirit workout, the white belt intensive is for you. 

The Montreal White Belt intensive will be facilitated by Black Belt Trainer Martha Randall.   Martha brings 30 years experience as a movement artist and teacher. About Martha  

Learn to move "the Body's way"

The Nia Belt System 

The white Belt intensive is the first level in the Nia Belt System path. This belt system is fashioned after the Martial Arts model, with the possibilities of two paths: one for Personal Growth Students, and one for Professionals.

The Personal Growth Belt System is divided into five Belt Levels: White, Blue, Brown, Black and First Degree Black Belt. The Professional Belt System has an additional belt (Green).

Nia Education - what can I expect during the training?

The White Belt intensive is a 7-day program that focuses on the somatic and mindful study of the 13 Nia White Belt Principles.

Each Day is divided into highly interactive sessions where you will learn, move and practice the Science, Craft and Art of the Nia Body of Work.

This experience offers leading edge education in movement dynamics, body-mind physiology, kinesiology, choreography, physical/x-ray anatomy, and music appreciation. In addition you will participate with other students in Nia classes to witness the power of the Nia Technique in practice.

Training includes five main core competency areas: Anatomy; Movement; Music; Methodology; and Philosophy, the study of body centered Somatic approaches, communication skills and teaching techniques to engage and address the whole person.

What is included in the Training package

50+ hours devoted to somatic experiential learning. Nia Technique Intensive Manual. Pre-Training materials (DVD, CD, pre-training literature). Daily Nia classes. 

Who can take the training? Nia Training is open to everybody, no Nia experience required.  

How active is the White Belt Training? All Trainings involve approximately 60% movement participation and 40% lecture. Self-paced, everybody is encouraged to do their best.
