All About the Nia White Belt Intensive Training!
Focus: Physical sensation
Intent: To know your body
Whether you choose to become a Nia teacher or attend the intensive as an opportunity to expand, experiment and reach outside of your current life routines, you will discover new ways of being, living, moving and working that are more harmonious with your true self~your spirit. The 7 day Nia White Belt is a transformational, energizing and joy-filled journey.
Personal Growth or Professional Training?
The Personal Growth Path is for students with a desire to intimately study and embody Nia for self-actualization, personal growth and life transformation.
The Professional Growth Path is for current or aspiring fitness, health or wellness professionals looking to teach or integrate Nia into their existing practice as well as working with special markets.
All education includes the study of Nia’s five core competency areas: Anatomy, Movement, Music, Methodology, and Philosophy. Using body-based experiences guided by self-discovery, Nia education is structured to allow students to participate and learn in their own way and in their own time. Through Nia, people learn to embody cognitive information, changing their bodies and lives.
The complete training program for Nia professionals includes five belts and trainings: White, Green, Blue, Brown and Black Belt. While professionals primarily teach Classic Nia movement classes, the work of Nia is applicable to all areas of life, thus "professional" includes any person using the principles, techniques and/or philosophies of Nia in any range of applications. Examples of this include using Nia in one's life coach business, psychotherapy, human services, personal training, motivational speaking, children's programs, etc.
Payment Terms
The total cost of the Intensive is US$1599. A US$500 deposit is required upon registration with the final balance due within 30 days of the training or by payment plan. The cancellation policy can be viewed on the registration forms.
Post Training
We want your enthusiasm, excitement, and fascination for learning Nia to continue. Real learning is an on-going lifetime process that continues outside the classroom. To genuinely embody wisdom and master a craft means to spread your wings, reread, re-examine, re-think, and integrate what you've learned. If you choose to licence as a Nia Professional, you will receive 4 Nia routines which will reinforce the intensive training. In addition, you may purchase the Nia Livelihood Package that provide tools to create a successful Nia business.
The Nia DVD's, NiaNow website, newsletter, NiaChicago website & newsletter and the international Nia community are here to support you. Mentoring is available via access to an international forum and monthly Teleconferences as well as local Chicago Mentoring opportunities. Nia teachers also agree to maintain current CPR training.
