Ultimate SELF-CARE … Nia Technique Certification
As a personal act of SELF-CARE, I am taking a brief hiatus from the daily Self-Care + Nia Move postings to travel. Postings will resume upon my return home. Where am I going?
FOR the CURIOUS:
I’m heading out to Arkansas, Little Rock to be exact. Thrilled with the opportunity to share in the excitement of this growing Nia community. The White Belt begins Saturday morning and there is a spot there with your name on it. Hosted at a beautiful remote location just 20 minutes from Little Rock, there’s no need to find a hotel room – there’s a pillow at the farm with your name on it too!
It’s absolutely not too late to join us. You are absolutely prepared. This is for you. (Register for this Certification today)

Stone Hill Farm A treasured family farm built on bed or rock and crystal just outside Little Rock, AR provides the perfect sanctuary for this deeply meaningful personal endeavor.
(BONUS: Sleeping accommodations included at no additional fee.)
This course will guide you into a deeper understanding of Nia Technique and its practices lending themselves toward Health, Fitness & Well-Being. You will learn the 13 White Belt Principles – paving a path for body-centered awareness. Beginning with Joy of Movement each principle teaches you a variety of somatic skills for connecting to physical sensation in your body. Nia White Belt teaches you the art of sensation through five core areas of study.
- Movement – the study of moving, health + potential
- Anatomy – the study of body parts + systems
- Science – the study of body awareness, health + vitality
- Music – the study of sound, health + expression
- Philosophy, the study of the body’s inherent wisdom.
