Body - Mind - Spirit Benefits In addition to the physical benefits, Nia also stimulates self-awareness, playfulness and enhances confidence, mindfulness and relaxation. Often referred to as the ‘Love Your Body, Love Your Life workout’, Nia empowers people to confidently own who they are and respect their bodies.

Taryn’s Personal Story 11 years ago I could not have imagined how Nia could influence my wellbeing and my life. I discovered Nia whilst travelling in America and was immediately touched by the depth and quality of the technique. At the time whilst living in America, I took my White and Blue Belt with the

founders of Nia and began teaching in California and also Italy. In Australia I did my Green Belt and the Brown Belt in Hawaii. I recently completed the Black Belt – the highest level of Nia training in Hamburg Germany. I am currently teaching at Gwinganna Health/Lifestyle Retreat (Winner 2013, 2014 World Luxury Spa Awards), and weekly classes in the Gold Coast and Byron Bay. Nia has taught me to love my body, to move it with reverence, and to walk my unique path through life! From early childhood I subscribed to the “no pain no gain” philosophy, always pushing and stressing to get results. Nia has taught me to slow down, connect and get results in a more grounded

and pleasurable way. Needless to say Nia has changed my body and how I approach every aspect of my life.

Nia’s purpose Nia’s purpose is to grow a worldwide community of healthy people who are empowered to do great things. We believe every person can discover, explore, unleash and enhance their individual potential to live a fulfilling and meaningful life – by engaging their senses and listening to their bodies. With the right tools and education, we can increase our confidence and happiness. We can become connected to others to shape a consciousness that extends beyond our own.
