Welcome to NiaDivas! We have The Place, The Practice and The Inspiration to Help You Get Fit, Feel Good and Have Fun.

"Nia is a fitness odyssey..." The New York Times

"Taking Nia helps me get in touch with all that is good about my body. I feel like everything is new again." Cherie, Nia Lover

"Nia Rules! I use to be stuck and unmotivated. Now I think, move and act more confidently---with purpose!" Darlean, West Seattle Devotee

"It's so much more fun than any other exercise class EVER!! It makes sweating FUN." Terri, West Seattle Diva

Maybe it's the inspiring, danceable music. Maybe it's the shimmy, shake, let-your-hair down movement. One thing we're certain-- the secret ingredient to Nia's Feel Good Fitness is YOU... You moving your way, the teachers moving their way, and all of us being who we are--and enjoying the dickens out of it.

 Hello Friends,

This is a big week for me. I'm heading down to Portland (with another Nia Teacher, Randee Fox) to "Court My Destiny" as I look into pursuing a profession as a Nia White Belt Trainer. To become a Nia Trainer has been a desire of mine for 14 years now! I'm thrilled, excited, and slightly nervous. I'll be meeting with 50 other participants, (other Nia Trainers and Co-Creator, Debbie Rosas) as we embark on a 3- day event to expore if we'd like to become Nia's Next Generation Trainers. Nia is embarking on bringing up a whole new generation of trainers that will not only bring this body of work to the general public but also bring the body of work to many special applications.(for example: Nia for those healing from cancer, Nia for equestrians, Nia for kids etc..).
