Paula is a certified black belt Nia Instructor. I found Nia in a fitness center on my way to a yoga class. There was this angelic dancer on the front of a flyer, I searched and found the "Nia" class. We settled in, the music started. As we danced, I knew this was a gift for the body-mind-spirit, I thought, 'if I taught this I could do this the rest of my life' I got my white belt in 2003 in Seattle and have danced in Joy ever since. It has healed my health challenges while becoming toned, body-centered and alive in awareness of body-mind & spirit. Since finishing my brown belt in 2007 I have completed a yoga certification and teach yoga as well. I love the connection and awareness that was missing from my body & mind & emotions & spirit for so very long. Come dance with us. Find the magic of Nia to heal the body, mind and soul in awareness, express yourself through movement with Nia.
