Building Knowledge to Enhance Your Nia Teaching and Learning Practice. Online Monthly: With Debbie Rosas!

One Monday Each Month | 9:15–11:15 AM PST
$25 per session | $175 for the full 7-Part Series

Over the years, I’ve witnessed Nia evolve—from its barefoot roots in martial power, dance artistry, and healing grace into a sacred, living movement practice. A path of transformation that extends far beyond the movement space, into the cells of our being, into how we live and lead.

As the body of Nia work expanded, I created branded programs—Nia 5 Stages, FLOORplay, FreeDance, Moving to Heal, 52 Moves, and now, two powerful additions: Play-A-Weight and Yo-Nia. Originally, these were intended as unique class types. But something has become clear.

What you, our beloved teachers and devoted students truly long for is not another class format—but deeper wisdom. Tools, language, and methods to enhance your existing Nia practice and classes. You seek somatic leadership skills that elevate how you teach and how you learn.

This is why I’ve created the Nia Skill Shops—a 7 part, once monthly, online series designed to deepen your knowledge, refine your skills, and empower your artistry. Each 2-hour session includes tools, skills, insights, and refinement experience – guidance into each program’s elements

You don’t need to teach more. You just need to deepen what you already do. These Skill Shops with me aren’t about adding—they’re about enriching. Return to beginner’s mind with the wisdom of mastery. To sense more, teach with grace, and move with purpose – to your new level.

Let’s journey together—one Skill Shop at a time!
