About Lindsey

I first experienced Nia whilst on holiday at raw food detox centre in Florida in 2008 and I immediately fell in love! The shear fun, freedom and exhilaration of a Nia class I had not found anywhere else. I have always loved dance, movement and being fit, but the experience of Nia was what I had been waiting for. Inspired by this, one year later, I trained as a White Belt. This training was one of the most intense but fulfilling times of my life. Have the opportunity to share my love of Nia with others is something I am truly excited about.

My aim during a Nia class experience is to create a space where people can get fit, release stress, connect to play and fun, express their emotions and experience the simple but powerful principle of the Joy of Movement. As the teacher I feel I am there to guide you through the routine, whilst encouraging you to find a way to move that feels pleasing to your body, mind and soul. Connecting together as 'community' in a class is also an important aspect of the Nia experience I wish to facilitate, as a Nia teacher. An important principle for Nia teachers is called Teaching What You Sense, where we are guided by the sensations in our bodies, in order to invite the class to also sense and feel their own body experience. In this way, the experience becomes authentic and rooted in the present moment.

From my own personal perspective, I love Nia because it enabled me to 'come home' to my body, in a way that no other fitness form has done. Everytime I experience Nia, I feel the 'Nia Buzz' and exhilaration of moving My Body, the way it wants to, and is designed, to move. It has changed my relationship with my body significantly. I have also seen numerous physical benefits with Nia in my body, and this is somthing I know will continue everytime I practice Nia. I have yet to engage with Nia and not feel better for it, whatever my mood is, or what is going on in my life! I also love that I sweat more than in any gym class I have been to, and feel I have had a complete body and mind workout. However, the difference with Nia is that I have experienced only pleasure, and no pain, in getting these results! Everyone who regularly practices Nia will have different reasons why they love it - Come and find out what yours is!

Alongisde my Nia work, I am also a fully qualifed Nutritional Therapist (Dip ION) and Shamballa Reiki Master. I run my No Nonsense Nutrition business also in Brighton. My passion in life in (other than just experiencing the amazing journey life is!) is assisting others to heal both physically and emotionally. For me, Nia was the missing link to my other passions and work in nutrition and Reiki, in supporting the whole-person healing experience.

I look forward to dancing with you!
