NIA is a holistic movement concept, that combines elements of dance, martial arts and relaxation techniques. The dancing movements are fast and powerfull, but also soft and smooth, in balance with your Body, Mind and Spirit.

NIA is unique and a perfect training for everybody who wants to stimulate body and mental health at the same time. You will gain more vitality and joy of life.

NIA flows like Tai Chi, boosts concentration like Yoga, is fun like Jazz Dance and powerfull like Tae Kwon Do.

Since childhood, dancing has fascinated me. Jazz- and Modern Dance, Ballroom Dancing and also Tap Dancing have accompanied me through life earlier. In 2004 I discovered NIA for the first time and I immediately fell in love with it. The simplicity of the flowing movements and the joy of movement were so fascinating to me. Since then I keep dancing NIA regularly and passionately.

In 2013 I took the WHITE BELT Intensive Training with Ann Christiansen, followed by the GREEN BELT Teacher Training in autumn 2017 and BLUE BELT in March 2018, also with Ann. In addition I train NIA 1-2 times a week and participate continuously in various Workshops. In Januar 2018 I started to teach one lessons a week and cover other teachers as well. Today I teach several lessons a week and I also participate in Team-Teaching-Events, not only in Switzerland but also abroad. Besides my regular lessons I organize special events like "NIA & Mediation" or "NIA & Laughter Yoga". Since 2023 there are also NIA-weekends, organized by me and my NIA-friend. 

A personal highlight was the NIA EVOLUTION Event with Debbie Rosas in Hamburg in October 2019. Debbie is from Portland/USA and the founder of NIA. It was unique for me to dance with her and to feel her spirit in person.

NIA just makes me feel good. Taking a NIA class after a hard working day, I have an increased feeling of relaxation and inner balance. But it also makes me sweat. I feel more enjoyment of life and of moving. Dancing, sweating and laughing – this and much more is NIA for me.
