Brenda Black is a Blue Belt Nia instructor who brings to Nia 20 years of experience as a Physical Therapist, having worked in a variety of settings with individuals of all ages and abilities. She also brings to Nia athleticism derived from years of physical challenges including kayaking, mountain biking, backpacking and rock climbing, and creativity through her work as a ceramic artist. For Brenda, Nia is "a joyful experience of being fully in the body in a way that few experiences in our lives can compare. The opportunity to express masculine and feminine qualities through movement had been very healing in my experience of Nia. I am equally drawn to the expression of spirit inherent in Nia; the magic that is created through integration of movement and music." Her approach is both athletic and playful, with classes focused on movement, body awareness, joyful expression and openness to possibility.
