The workshop combined physical activities to help improve balance and mobility to achieve strength and conditioning goals.
Kate Latimer completed her Nia Blackbelt Training with Nia co-creator, Debbie Rosas, in Portland, OR, this past September! The Nia Blackbelt is a week-long movement intensive and the culmination of the four-belt Nia Training System. It's focus on creativity supports the intent to achieve "Mastery of the Basics" in the principles of the Nia Technique. For Kate, this was both a completion and a new beginning in her 13 years of practice at a Nia teacher and she has come back from Portland with renewed energy and vitality as well as new skills to share in her classes on Mondays and Wednesdays at 5pm!
