Welcome,

Every living system knows the wisdom of pause — the sacred moment between breath and motion, between one heartbeat and the next. In that pause, renewal begins. As 2025 draws to a close, I feel that same calling — to stop, breathe, and listen deeply. The world is changing, and so are we. For me, this is a time to refine what matters most, to focus energy where it can make the most meaningful impact, and to prepare The Nia Technique for a vibrant next chapter.

I’m calling 2026, “The Year of Rebirth” — a time of reflection, reorganization, and regeneration — so that everything we do radiates clarity, meaning, and purpose. “The Year of Rebirth” will honor our shared mission: to awaken the world through movement, music, and the magic in the intelligence of the body. Below, I’ve outlined the focus areas that will guide me, we, us through this rebirth — not just as updates, but as acts of devotion to our community, our craft, and the future of The Nia Technique.

2026 is not just another year — it is a turning point for a return to the essence of both our vision and our vitality. Everything we do, every word, every step, every class, every educational program is part of a great new unfolding — an invitation to evolve, learn and grow together.  I am profoundly grateful for The Nia Technique community, for our devotion, talent, creativity, trust and belief in health. Beginning in 2026, I will enter a new creative season of writing.

In this new season, with a reduced number of monthly publications for Awakening Body + Life at http://www.debbierosas.com, I will not be stepping away, but stepping in — for a chance to listen deeply, distill what matters, and create from the quiet center of The Body’s Way, which is the heart of all things within The Nia Technique. During this time, my focus will be on the legacy of The Nia Technique and two major projects that hold the heart of Nia’s future.

First, I will be completing The Body’s Way book — a synthesis of four decades of movement, discovery, and teaching with The Nia Technique. Second, I will be finalizing The Body’s Way + Integral Anatomy Program with Dr. Gil Hedley, which is a collaboration that unites seeing the body with sensing the body — art with science, logic with mystery. Meanwhile, every essay at Awakening Body + Life will remain available for the future of all education programs with The Nia Technique.

Now, imagine gaining access to over 40 years of somatic wisdom — a rich library of workshops and teachings that you can use to learn, grow, and share as a Teacher or Student of The Nia Technique. In 2026, I’ll bring this vision to life with the creation of The Debbie Rosas Educational Library — an archive and legacy that gathers decades of lessons, masterclasses, and reflections into one accessible space to preserve, share, and extend the The Nia Technique.

This library will be available for individual access only, allowing Students and Teachers to revisit foundational material, rediscover forgotten gems, and explore the depth of The Nia Technique education in their own natural time. This will be a bridge — connecting our history with our future that ensures the artistry, science, and wisdom of The Nia Technique continues to inspire new generations while also creating sustainable revenue to support our ongoing development and outreach.

As I look toward 2026, I feel a renewed sense of wonder and purpose. Every change, every refinement, and every new creation is part of something larger — a living rebirth. This Year of Rebirth is not simply about doing more; it’s about doing what matters most. It’s about honoring the integrity of my body of work, simplifying what has become complex, and refocusing my energy on what truly nourishes me — body, mind, emotion, and spirit.

I am crafting a future where The Nia Technique remains both timeless and forward moving: grounded in science, elevated by artistry, and sustained through community. Whether you teach, train, move, or simply love this practice, you are part of this unfolding story — one body, one heartbeat, and one shared purpose. The Nia Technique has always been about Awakening Body + Life — through movement, through connection, through remembering that we are whole.

Every great evolution begins with a return — a remembering of what gives life meaning — and 2026 will be that return. A rebirth of purpose, clarity, and possibility. I am not merely reorganizing — I am realigning. I am not just teaching movement — I am awakening consciousness through the body. And, I am not alone — I am part of a global community of creators, teachers, and healers walking together in rhythm with the pulse of life itself.

Thank you for being part of this extraordinary journey. Here’s to a year of rebirth — for me, for you, for us, for The Nia Technique. I intend to make 2026 the year I rise in resonance — together with family, friends, and community — honoring the wisdom of every whole being, body, mind, emotion, and spirit with courage of heart and beauty of living art and artistry. As we step forward into this next year let us all make 2026 the year we rebirth the miraculous dance of life.

With Gratitude, Debbie Rosas.
